Israel Accused of Apostasy

1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 "Go and announce directly to Jerusalem that this is what the Lord says: I remember the loyalty^a of your youth, your love as a bride^b- how you followed Me in the wilderness, in a land not sown. 3 Israel was holy to the Lord,^c the firstfruits of His harvest. All who ate of it found themselves guilty;^d disaster came on them." [This is] the Lord's declaration. 4 Hear the word of the Lord, house of Jacob and all families of the house of Israel. 5 Here is what the Lord says: What fault did your fathers find in Me that they went so far from Me, followed worthless idols, and became worthless themselves?^e 6 They stopped asking: Where is the Lord who brought us from the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness,^f through a land of deserts and ravines, through a land of drought and darkness,^g^h a land no one traveled through and where no one lived?
