Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, “Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Yahweh says,

“I remember for you the kindness of your youth,
    the love of your weddings;
how you went after me in the wilderness,
    in a land that was not sown.
Israel was holiness to Yahweh,
    the first fruits of his increase.
All who devour him will be held guilty.
    Evil will come on them,”’ says Yahweh.”

    how as a bride you loved me
and followed me through the wilderness,(C)
    through a land not sown.
Israel was holy(D) to the Lord,(E)
    the firstfruits(F) of his harvest;
all who devoured(G) her were held guilty,(H)
    and disaster overtook them,’”
declares the Lord.
