Jeremiah 2
Moreover
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
2 Go
and
cry
in
the
ears
of
Jerusalem,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
Lord;
I
remember
thee,
the
kindness
of
thy
youth,
the
love
of
thine
espousals,
a
when
thou
wentest
after
me
in
the
wilderness,
in
a
land
that
was
not
sown.
3 Israel
was
a
holiness
unto
the
Lord,
and
the
firstfruits
of
his
increase:
all
that
devour
him
shall
offend;
evil
shall
come
upon
them,
saith
the
Lord.
4 Hear
ye
the
word
of
the
Lord,
O
house
of
Jacob,
and
all
the
families
of
the
house
of
Israel:
5 Thus
saith
the
Lord,
What
iniquity
have
your
fathers
found
in
me,
that
they
are
gone
far
from
me,
and
have
walked
after
vanity,
and
are
become
vain?
6 Neither
said
they,
Where
is
the
Lord
that
brought
us
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
that
a
led
us
through
the
wilderness,
through
a
land
of
deserts
and
of
pits,
through
a
land
of
drought,
and
of
the
shadow
of
death,
through
a
land
that
no
man
passed
through,
and
where
no
man
dwelt?
7 And
I
brought
you
into
a
plentiful
country,
to
eat
the
fruit
thereof
and
the
goodness
thereof;
but
when
ye
entered,
ye
a
defiled
my
b
land,
and
made
mine
heritage
an
abomination.
8 The
priests
said
not,
Where
is
the
Lord?
and
they
that
handle
the
law
knew
me
not:
the
a
pastors
also
transgressed
against
me,
and
the
b
prophets
prophesied
by
Baal,
and
walked
after
things
that
do
not
profit.
9 Wherefore
I
will
yet
plead
with
you,
saith
the
Lord,
and
with
your
children's
children
will
I
plead.
10 For
pass
a
over
the
isles
of
Chittim,
and
see;
and
send
unto
Kedar,
and
consider
diligently,
and
see
if
there
be
such
a
thing.
11 Hath
a
nation
changed
their
a
gods,
which
are
yet
no
gods?
but
my
people
have
changed
their
glory
for
that
which
doth
not
profit.
12 Be
astonished,
O
ye
heavens,
at
this,
and
be
horribly
afraid,
be
ye
very
desolate,
saith
the
Lord.
13 For
my
people
have
committed
two
a
evils;
they
have
forsaken
me
the
fountain
of
b
living
waters,
and
hewed
them
out
cisterns,
broken
cisterns,
that
can
hold
no
water.
14 Is
Israel
a
a
servant?
is
he
a
homeborn
slave?
why
is
he
spoiled?
15 The
young
lions
roared
upon
him,
and
yelled,
and
they
made
his
land
waste:
his
cities
are
burned
without
inhabitant.
16 Also
the
children
of
Noph
and
a
Tahapanes
have
broken
the
crown
of
thy
head.
17 Hast
thou
not
procured
this
unto
thyself,
in
that
thou
hast
a
forsaken
the
Lord
thy
God,
when
he
led
thee
by
the
way?
18 And
now
what
hast
thou
to
do
in
the
way
of
a
Egypt,
to
drink
the
waters
of
Sihor?
or
what
hast
thou
to
do
in
the
way
of
Assyria,
to
drink
the
waters
of
b
the
river?
19 Thine
own
wickedness
shall
correct
thee,
and
thy
backslidings
shall
a
reprove
thee:
know
therefore
and
see
that
it
is
an
evil
thing
and
bitter,
that
thou
hast
forsaken
the
Lord
thy
God,
and
that
my
fear
is
not
in
thee,
saith
the
Lord
God
of
hosts.
20 For
of
old
time
I
have
broken
thy
yoke,
and
burst
thy
bands;
and
thou
saidst,
I
will
not
transgress;
when
upon
every
high
hill
and
under
every
green
tree
thou
wanderest,
playing
the
a
harlot.
21 Yet
I
had
planted
thee
a
noble
a
vine,
wholly
a
right
seed:
how
then
art
thou
turned
into
the
degenerate
plant
of
a
strange
vine
unto
me?
22 For
though
thou
a
wash
thee
with
b
nitre,
and
take
thee
much
soap,
yet
thine
iniquity
is
marked
before
me,
saith
the
Lord
God.
23 How
canst
thou
say,
I
am
not
polluted,
I
have
not
gone
after
Baalim?
see
thy
way
in
the
valley,
know
what
thou
hast
done:
thou
art
a
swift
dromedary
traversing
her
ways;
24 A
wild
ass
used
to
the
wilderness,
that
snuffeth
up
the
wind
at
her
pleasure;
in
her
occasion
who
can
turn
her
away?
all
they
that
seek
her
will
not
weary
themselves;
in
her
month
they
a
shall
find
her.
25 Withhold
thy
foot
from
being
unshod,
and
thy
throat
from
thirst:
but
thou
saidst,
There
is
no
a
hope:
no;
for
I
have
loved
strangers,
and
after
them
will
I
go.
26 As
the
thief
is
a
ashamed
when
he
is
found,
so
is
the
house
of
Israel
ashamed;
they,
their
kings,
their
princes,
and
their
priests,
and
their
prophets,
27 Saying
to
a
a
stock,
Thou
art
my
father;
and
to
a
stone,
Thou
hast
brought
me
forth:
for
they
have
turned
their
b
back
unto
me,
and
not
their
face:
but
in
the
c
time
of
their
trouble
they
will
say,
Arise,
and
save
us.
28 But
where
are
thy
a
gods
that
thou
hast
made
thee?
let
them
arise,
if
they
can
save
thee
in
the
time
of
thy
trouble:
for
according
to
the
number
of
thy
cities
are
thy
gods,
O
Judah.
29 Wherefore
will
ye
a
plead
with
me?
ye
all
have
transgressed
against
me,
saith
the
Lord.
30 In
vain
have
I
smitten
your
children;
they
received
no
a
correction:
your
own
sword
hath
devoured
your
prophets,
like
a
destroying
lion.
31 O
generation,
see
ye
the
word
of
the
Lord.
Have
I
been
a
wilderness
unto
Israel?
a
land
of
darkness?
wherefore
say
my
people,
We
are
lords;
we
will
come
no
more
unto
thee?
32 Can
a
maid
forget
her
ornaments,
or
a
bride
her
attire?
yet
my
people
have
a
forgotten
me
days
without
number.
33 Why
trimmest
thou
thy
way
to
seek
love?
therefore
hast
thou
also
taught
the
wicked
a
ones
thy
ways.
34 Also
in
thy
skirts
is
found
the
a
blood
of
the
souls
of
the
poor
innocents:
I
have
not
found
it
by
secret
search,
but
upon
all
b
these.
35 Yet
thou
sayest,
Because
I
am
a
innocent,
surely
his
anger
shall
turn
from
me.
Behold,
I
will
plead
with
thee,
because
thou
sayest,
I
have
not
sinned.
36 Why
gaddest
thou
about
so
much
to
change
thy
way?
thou
also
shalt
be
a
ashamed
of
Egypt,
as
thou
wast
ashamed
of
Assyria.
37 Yea,
thou
shalt
go
forth
from
him,
and
thine
hands
upon
thine
head:
for
the
Lord
hath
rejected
thy
confidences,
and
thou
shalt
not
prosper
in
them.
