Jeremiah 2:3 in Context — Jeremiah 2
1 E veio a mim palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
2 Vai, e clama aos ouvidos de Jerusalém, dizendo: Assim diz o SENHOR: Lembro-me de ti, da [tua] bondade que tinhas em tua juventude, do amor do teu noivado, quando andavas após mim no deserto, em terra não semeada.
3 Israel era santidade ao SENHOR, era os primeiros de sua colheita. Todos os que o prejudicavam cometiam pecado [e] o mal vinha sobre eles, diz o SENHOR.
4 Ouvi a palavra do SENHOR, ó casa de Jacó, e todas as famílias da casa de Israel.
5 Assim diz o SENHOR: Que maldade vossos pais acharam em mim, para terem se afastado de mim, [de modo que] seguiram coisas inúteis, e eles [mesmos] se tornarão inúteis?
