Jeremiah 2:2-4
Easy-to-Read Version
2 “Jeremiah, go and speak to the people of Jerusalem. Tell them that this is what the Lord says:
“‘At the time you were a young nation, you were faithful to me.
You followed me like a young bride.
You followed me through the desert,
through a land that had never been used for farmland.
3 The people of Israel were a holy gift to the Lord.
They were the first fruit he gathered.
Any people who tried to hurt them were judged guilty.
Bad things happened to those wicked people.’”
This message is from the Lord.
4 Family of Jacob, hear the Lord’s message.
Tribes of Israel, listen.

2 “Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem:
“This is what the Lord says:
“‘I remember the devotion of your youth,(A)
how as a bride you loved me
and followed me through the wilderness,(B)
through a land not sown.
3 Israel was holy(C) to the Lord,(D)
the firstfruits(E) of his harvest;
all who devoured(F) her were held guilty,(G)
and disaster overtook them,’”
declares the Lord.
4 Hear the word of the Lord, you descendants of Jacob,
all you clans of Israel.
