Jeremiah 2:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³Your people were holy to me.
    They were the first share of my harvest.
All those who destroyed them were held guilty.
    And trouble came to their enemies,’ ”
    announces the Lord.

⁴People of Jacob, hear the Lord’s message.
Listen, all you tribes of Israel.

⁵The Lord says,

“What did your people of long ago find wrong with me?
Why did they wander so far away from me?
They worshiped worthless statues of gods.
Then they themselves became worthless.
