Jeremiah 2:1 Israel’s Covenantal Adultery. These five related messages were probably delivered during Josiah’s reign (Jeremiah 3:6). Jeremiah declares that God’s chosen people commit spiritual adultery by loving idols more than the living God. Thus, they have broken their covenant vows and made themselves ripe for judgment. Jeremiah says that Israel is a faithless spouse (Jeremiah 2:1); Israel can and should repent (Jeremiah 3:6); disaster is coming (Jeremiah 4:5); there are consequences for Judah’s unwillingness to repent (ch. Jeremiah 5:1); and God has rejected his people (ch. Jeremiah 6:1).
