Jeremiah 2:9
The Lord Charges Contemporary Israel with Spiritual Adultery

Jeremiah 2:1
The Lord Recalls Israel’s Earlier Faithfulness
2:1 The Lord spoke to me. He said:
Jeremiah 1:8-10
1:8 Do not be afraid of those to whom I send you,
for I will be with you to protect
you,” says the
Lord.
1:9 Then the
Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I will most assuredly give you the words you are to speak for me.
1:10 Know for certain that
I hereby give you the authority to announce to nations and kingdoms that they will be
uprooted and torn down, destroyed and demolished, rebuilt and firmly planted.”
