[1] Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, [2] Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. [3] Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.
