Komentaryo sa Jeremias 2:2: Rashi & Tze'enah Ure'enah

I remember to you Were you to return to Me, I would desire to have mercy on you for I remember the loving kindness of your youth and the love of the nuptials of your wedding canopy, when I brought you into the wedding canopy, and this (כלולתיך) is an expression of bringing in. Your nuptials (Noces in O.F.). Now what was the loving kindness of your youth? Your following My messengers, Moses and Aaron, from an inhabited land to the desert without provisions for the way since you believed in Me.

“I remember the devotion of your youth, your love as a bride” [2:2]. Say to Israel, just as I would bring troubles upon them because of their evil deeds, but I will in no way destroy them completely. I will also pay those nations who have troubled Israel and will bring troubles upon them. I remember the good deeds that Israel did for me in its youth, during the giving of the Torah. They are compared to a bride and the Holy One to a groom. This is the meaning of “your love as a bride,” the love of a bride at the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.¹¹Radak, Jeremiah, 2:2.

“How you followed me in the wilderness, in a land not sown” [2:2]. I remember the good deeds that Israel did. They followed me in the wilderness, where no grain, fruit, or grass grows and they relied on me.
