Jeremiah 2:3

3 ^aIsrael was holy to the Lord,
^bthe firstfruits of his harvest.
^cAll who ate of it incurred guilt;
disaster came upon them,

declares the Lord.”

5 Thus says the Lord:

^d“What wrong did your fathers find in me
that they went far from me,
^eand went after ^fworthlessness, and became worthless?
