Jeremiah 2 Scofield

2:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

“word of the Lord”

The general character of the first message from Jehovah to Judah by Jeremiah is threefold:

(1) He reminds Israel of the days of blessing and deliverance, e.g. Jer 2:1–7.

(2) He reproaches them with forsaking Him, e.g. Jer 2:13.

(3) He accuses them of choosing other, and impotent, gods, e.g. Jer 2:10–12; Jer 2:26–28.

All these messages are to be thought of as inspired sermons, spoken to the people and subsequently written. Cf. Jer 36:1–32.
