THE MESSAGE
God 's Message came to me. It went like this: "Get out in the streets and call to Jerusalem, ‘ God 's Message! I remember your youthful loyalty, our love as newlyweds. You stayed with me through the wilderness years, stuck with me through all the hard places. Israel was God 's holy choice, the pick of the crop. Anyone who laid a hand on her would soon wish he hadn't!'" God 's Decree.

Contextual Overview
1 The Lord told me 2 to go to Jerusalem and tell everyone that he had said: When you were my young bride, you loved me and followed me through the barren desert. 3 You belonged to me alone, like the first part of the harvest, and I severely punished those who mistreated you. 4 Listen, people of Israel, 5 and I, the Lord , will speak. I was never unfair to your ancestors, but they left me and became worthless by following worthless idols. 6 Your ancestors refused to ask for my help, though I had rescued them from Egypt and led them through a treacherous, barren desert, where no one lives or dares to travel. 7 I brought you here to my land, where food is abundant, but you made my land filthy with your sins. 8 The priests who teach my laws don't care to know me. Your leaders rebel against me; your prophets give messages from Baal and worship false gods.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying. Here begins the book, and Jeremiah's first sermon; and the following contains the message he was sent with, to which the preceding chapter is only a preface or introduction. The Targum calls it,
"the word of the prophecy from before the Lord.''
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Moreover - literally, And. Notice the connection between Jeremiah’s call and first prophecy.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER II
God expresses his continued regard for his people, long since
chosen, 1-3.
He then expostulates with them on their ungrateful and worse
than heathen return to his regard, 4-11;
at which even the inanimate creation must be astonished,
12, 13.
After this their guilt is declared to be the sole cause of the
calamities which their enemies had power to inflict on them,
14-17.
They are upbraided for their alliances with idolatrous
countries, 18, 19;
and for their strong propensity to idolatry, notwithstanding
all the care and tender mercy of God, 20-29.
Even the chastenings of the Almighty have produced in this
people no repentance, 30.
The chapter concludes with compassionately remonstrating
against their folly and ingratitude in revolting so deeply from
God, and with warning them of the fearful consequences, 31, 37.
