1The word of Yahweh came to me:

2Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem: ‘Thus says Yahweh: I remember your faithful love in your youth, your love as a bride, when you followed me in the wilderness, in a land where nothing was sown.’

3Israel was holy to Yahweh, the firstfruits of his harvest; all who devoured him became guilty; disaster came upon them, declares Yahweh.
