Jeremiah 2

YHWH accuses Israel of forsaking Him, their faithful husband and father, for worthless idols and foreign alliances, likening their apostasy to an unfaithful wife and a wild vine turned degenerate.[1][3] He calls them to acknowledge their iniquity and return, warning of inevitable judgment for their rebellion and broken covenant.[1][3]
