Berean Standard Bible
Israel was holy to the LORD, the firstfruits of His harvest. All who devoured her found themselves guilty; disaster came upon them,’” declares the LORD.
Context
1Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2“Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem that this is what the LORD says:
‘I remember the devotion of your youth,
your love as a bride,
how you followed Me in the wilderness,
in a land not sown. 3Israel was holy to the LORD,
the firstfruits of His harvest.
All who devoured her
found themselves guilty;
disaster came upon them,’”
declares the LORD. 4Hear the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all you families of the house of Israel. 5This is what the LORD says:
“What fault did your fathers find in Me
that they strayed so far from Me,
and followed worthless idols,
and became worthless themselves?
