Israel was holy to YHVH, the firstfruits of his harvest. All who ate of it incurred guilt; disaster came upon them, declares YHVH.
#jeremiah 2:3 #ekev

It doesn't matter how corrupt Israel might be, they remain God's chosen people. (I'm not talking about a religion or a political entity, but the descendants of Jacob, no matter where they are or what religious label they have adopted.) It is a terrible thing to be used by God as an instrument to discipline Israel. Handle with care.
