Jeremiah 2:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 2:1

God’s Case Against Israel

1 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Go and cry in the hearing of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord:
“I remember you,
The kindness of your ^ayouth,
The love of your betrothal,
^bWhen you¹ went after Me in the wilderness,
In a land not sown.

3 ^aIsrael was holiness to the Lord,
^bThe firstfruits of His increase.
^cAll that devour him will offend;
Disaster will ^dcome upon them,” says the Lord.’ ”

4 Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob and all the families of the house of Israel.

5 Thus says the Lord:
^a“What injustice have your fathers found in Me,
That they have gone far from Me,
^bHave followed¹ idols,
And have become idolaters?
