This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_2:3 Israel [was] holiness unto the LORD, [and] the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.
Ver. 3. Israel was holiness unto the Lord.] A people consecrated and set apart for his peculiar; {Exo_19:5 Psa_114:2} holy with a federal holiness at least.
And the firstfruits of his increase.] Yea, his "firstborn," and therefore, "higher than the kings of the earth." {Psa_89:27} All God’s people are so. {Heb_12:23 Jam_1:18}
All that devour them shall offend.] Rather thus: All that devoured them trespassed - evil befell them; witness the four latter books of Moses.
