Jer Jeremiah, chapter Book of Jeremiah, chapter 2
At that time you Israelis ◄were set apart/belonged only► to me;
you belonged to me like the first part of the harvests belong to me [MET].
I promised to punish all those who harmed you, my people,
and truly I did send disasters on them.
That happened because I, Yahweh, said that it would happen.”Exo 19:6; Psa 114:2
