Then said the Lord unto me, thou hast well seen Jer.2 1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. ![]()
