NET “Go and declare in the hearing of the people of Jerusalem: ‘This is what the Lord says: “I have fond memories of you, how devoted you were to me in your early years. I remember how you loved me like a new bride; you followed me through the wilderness, through a land that had never been planted.
LSV “Go, and you have called in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said YHWH: I have remembered for you
The kindness of your youth, the love of your espousals,
Your going after Me in a wilderness, in a land not sown.
FBV Go and announce to the people of Jerusalem that this is what the Lord says:[fn]
¶ I remember when you were young how devoted to me you were. I remember how you loved me when you were my bride. I remember how you followed me in the desert, in a land where nothing is grown.
2:2 As is usual in this translation, when a prophet is speaking for God no quote marks are used. This avoids too many quote within quote marks, and also it is sometimes problematic to differentiate between God's words and those of the prophet himself. In addition there are many times when the phrase “This what the Lord says” is repeated frequently which should normally start a set of quote marks, ending up with a large number of “nested” quotations. A similar situation exists with the phrase “declares the Lord,” which also should be outside quote marks, but would add considerably to their number. For this reason quote marks are kept to a minimum and generally used only when speakers other than Jeremiah or the Lord need to be represented.
T4T to proclaim to everyone in Jerusalem. He said that I should tell them this [MET]:
⇔ “I, Yahweh, remember that you very much wanted to please me long ago.
⇔ You tried to please me like a bride tries to please her husband;
⇔ You loved me,
⇔ and you followed me through the desert [DOU].
BBE Go and say in the ears of Jerusalem, The Lord says, I still keep the memory of your kind heart when you were young, and your love when you became my bride; how you went after me in the waste of sand, in an unplanted land.

• The image of Israel as a bride had been used since the days of Hosea (about 760–722 BC; Hos 2:2-19; see also Isa 54:6-8; 62:5). The concept is later applied to the redeemed community in heaven (Rev 19:7; 21:2, 9).
• long ago: Following the exodus from Egypt, the Israelites were symbolically married to God when they agreed to a covenant relationship (Exod 19:8; 24:7, 8; Deut 5:27; Ezek 16:8).
• eager . . . to please (Hebrew khesed): The Israelites made a commitment of loyalty to the covenant Lord (see Deut 5:29).
