Jeremiah 2:3

Yahweh Remembers Israel's Faithfulness

² "Go and declare in the hearing of the people of Jerusalem: 'This is what the Lord says: "I have fond memories of you, how devoted you were to me in your early years. I remember how you loved me like a new bride; you followed me through the wilderness, through a land that had never been planted. ³ Israel was set apart to the Lord; they were like the first fruits of a harvest to him. All who tried to devour them were punished; disaster came upon them," says the Lord.'" ⁴ Now listen to what the Lord has to say, you descendants of Jacob, all you family groups from the nation of Israel.
