“The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,”
“And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:”
“And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,”
“Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,”
The Lord Recalls Israel’s Earlier Faithfulness The LORD’s message came to me,
“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.
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.
The Lord Reminds Them of the Unfaithfulness of Their Ancestors Now listen to what the LORD’s message, you descendants of Jacob, all you family groups from the nation of Israel.
