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

¹Now the word of Yahweh came to me saying, ²"Go and call out in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh,"I remember concerning you the lovingkindness of your youth,The love of your betrothals,Your walking after Me in the wilderness,Through a land not sown. ³Israel was holy to Yahweh,The first of His produce.All who ate of it became guilty;Evil came upon them," declares Yahweh.'" ⁴Hear the word of Yahweh, O house of Jacob and all the families of the house of Israel. ⁵Thus says Yahweh,"What injustice did your fathers find in Me,That they went far from MeAnd walked after vanity and became vain? ⁶They did not say, ‘Where is YahwehWho brought us up out of the land of Egypt,Who led us through the wilderness,Through a land of deserts and of pits,Through a land of drought and of the shadow of death,Through a land that no one crossedAnd where no man inhabited?' ⁷I brought you into the fruitful landTo eat its fruit and its good things.But you came and defiled My land,And My inheritance you made an abomination. ⁸The priests did not say, ‘Where is Yahweh?'And those who handle the law did not know Me;The shepherds also transgressed against Me,And the prophets prophesied by BaalAnd walked after things that did not profit.

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.
