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.”

Judah’s Apostasy

Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Go and (A)proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘This is what the Lord says:

“I remember regarding you the [a](B)devotion of your youth,
Your love when you were a bride,
(C)Your following after Me in the wilderness,
Through a land not sown.
Israel was (D)holy to the Lord,
The (E)first of His harvest.
(F)All who ate of it became guilty;
Evil came upon them,” declares the Lord.’”
