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 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, ² `Go, and thou hast called in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said Jehovah: I have remembered for thee The kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, Thy going after Me in a wilderness, in a land not sown. <sup>3</sup> Holy [is] Israel to Jehovah, The first-fruit of His increase, All consuming him are guilty, Evil cometh in unto them, an affirmation of Jehovah. <sup>4</sup> Hear a word of Jehovah, O house of Jacob, And all ye families of the house of Israel. <sup>5</sup> Thus said Jehovah: What -- have your fathers found in Me perversity, That they have gone far off from Me, And go after the vanity, and become vain, <sup>6</sup> And have not said, Where [is] Jehovah, Who bringeth us up out of the land of Egypt, Who leadeth us in a wilderness, In a land of deserts and pits, In a dry land, and of death-shade, In a land -- none hath passed through it, Nor dwelt hath man there?' <sup>7</sup> Yea, I bring you in to a land of fruitful fields, To eat its fruit and its goodness, And ye come in and defile My land, And Mine inheritance have made an abomination. <sup>8</sup> The priests have not said, `Where [is] Jehovah?' And those handling the law have not known Me. And the shepherds transgressed against Me, And the prophets have prophesied by Baal, And after those who profit not have gone.

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.
