1 The word of the Lord came to me:
2 Go, cry out this message for Jerusalem to hear!I remember the devotion of your youth,how you loved me as a bride,Following me in the wilderness,in a land unsown.
3 Israel was dedicated to the Lord,the first fruits of his harvest;All who ate of it were held guilty,evil befell them—oracle of the Lord.
4 Listen to the word of the Lord, house of Jacob!All you clans of the house of Israel,
