“I remember concerning you the (B)lovingkindness of your youth,
The love of your betrothals,
(C)Your walking after Me in the wilderness,
Through a land not sown.
Israel was (D)holy to Yahweh,
The (E)first of His produce.
(F)All who ate of it became guilty;
Evil came upon them,” declares Yahweh.’”

    through a land not sown.
Israel was holy(D) to the Lord,(E)
    the firstfruits(F) of his harvest;

    and disaster overtook them,’”
