1Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

3Israel was holy to the LORD, the firstfruits of His harvest. All who devoured her were found guilty; disaster came upon them,’” declares the LORD.

Jeremiah 2:3 Summary
[This verse tells us that Israel was very special to God, like the best and earliest part of a harvest. God chose them to be His own people, and He wants to protect and bless them. As we see in Jeremiah 31:3, God loves Israel and wants to establish a new covenant with them. Just like God had a special plan for Israel, He has a plan for each of us, and we can learn from their story to live out our own calling to be 'holy to the LORD'.]

Israel's status as holy to the LORD means they were set apart by God for a special purpose, as seen in Exodus 19:5-6, where God declares them to be His treasured possession and a kingdom of priests.
Why is Israel referred to as the 'firstfruits of His harvest'?
The term 'firstfruits' signifies the best and the earliest of the harvest, indicating that Israel was chosen by God to be a special people, as seen in Deuteronomy 26:1-11, where the Israelites were instructed to offer their firstfruits to the LORD as a sign of gratitude and worship.
What happens to those who 'devour' Israel, according to this verse?
Those who harm or devour Israel will find themselves guilty and face disaster, as proclaimed by the LORD, similar to what is seen in Genesis 12:3, where God promises to bless those who bless Abraham and his descendants, but curse those who curse them.

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 2:3
Israel was holiness unto the Lord,.... When first brought out of Egypt into the wilderness, by the Lord's choice and separation of them to be a holy people to him above all others; by covenant with
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 2:3
Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 2:3
Israel was holiness, or holy, the abstract for the concrete, i.e. a people dedicated to God; thus the word is used 27:14; set apart from other people for myself by peculiar laws and rites. And the first-fruits of his increase: this supplement and is better left out, it being not in the text, and rendering the sense more obscure; therefore better read, either, being the first-fruits, by apposition; or, as the first-fruits, i.e. as the first-fruits were holy to God, so was Israel. All that devour; or rather, devoured; for it refers to the time past, not to the future, and so the following words; all that were injurious to him shall offend; or, did offend, were obnoxious, and liable to punishment, as he that devoured that which is holy, . Shall come upon them; came upon them: some evil was inflicted on them from the Lord, that was always wont to stand up for the vindication of his people, as upon the Egyptians, Amalekites, Sihon, Og, the Midianites, Canaanites, and others, as the four last books of Moses do abundantly testify; and by these expressions is insinuated that now they are like to find it otherwise, ; this minding of them what God had done for them making way for the closer setting home the following reproofs.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 2:3
Jeremiah 2:3 Israel [was] holiness unto the LORD, [and] the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.Ver. 3. Israel was holiness unto the Lord.] A people consecrated and set apart for his peculiar; holy with a federal holiness at least. And the firstfruits of his increase.] Yea, his "firstborn," and therefore, "higher than the kings of the earth." All God’ s people are so. All that devour them shall offend.] Rather thus: All that devoured them trespassed - evil befell them; witness the four latter books of Moses.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 2:3
(3) Holiness unto the Lord.—The thought was that expressed in the inscription on the gold plate worn on the high priest’s forehead (Exodus 28:36), and in the term “holy thing” (Leviticus 22:10; Matthew 7:6), applied to the consecrated gifts which were the portion of the priests. The prophet was taught that Israel, as a nation, had a priestly character, and was consecrated to the Lord as the “firstfruits” of the great harvest of the world. Compare the use of the same figure in James 1:18; Romans 11:16. All that devour him shall offend.—The imagery of the firstfruits is continued. The Hebrew for the word “offend” is used for transgressions against the ceremonial law in Leviticus 5:5; Leviticus 5:19; Numbers 5:7. Here, however, it is probably better rendered, shall be condemned, or shall be made to suffer, as in Psalms 34:21-22, where the Authorised version has “shall be desolate.” Those who devour Israel—the enemies and invaders, the tyrants and oppressors—are guilty as of a sacrilege that will not remain unpunished.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 2:3
Verse 3. Israel was holiness unto the Lord] Fully consecrated to his service. The first fruits of his increase] They were as wholly the Lord's, as the first fruits were the property of the priests according to the law, Numbers 18:13. These the priests alone had a right to devote to their own use. All that devour him shall offend] As they were betrothed to the Lord, they were considered his especial property; they therefore who injured them were considered as laying violent hands on the property of God. They who persecute God's children have a grievous burden to bear, an awful account to give.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 2:3
3. Israel was holiness unto the Lord, the firstfruits of his increase] Cp. Exodus 19:6; Deuteronomy 8:6; Deuteronomy 14:2; cp. Jeremiah 26:18 and Amos 3:2. There is no moral significance attached to the word holiness here. It means simply setting apart from ordinary uses, dedication to God. Israel is as the most precious part of the harvest, that part which is consecrated as God’s portion. The notion was familiar through the yearly custom, prescribed Leviticus 23:10-14, that a measure of the firstfruits should be waved by the priest before the Lord, and that none of the harvest should be enjoyed till this rite had been fulfilled. Cp. Exodus 23:19; Deuteronomy 26:2 ff. all that devour him shall be held guilty] The priest and his family alone were to eat of the firstfruits.
No stranger was allowed to partake. If any unhallowed person profaned the firstfruits by taking of them, he bore “the iniquity that bringeth guilt.” See Leviticus 22:16 (where the Heb. root is the same as here). Thus the sense is that if unconsecrated (i.e. heathen) nations assail Israel, their fate shall be that of such as eat the firstfruits unlawfully.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 2:3
Render: “Israel” is an offering consecrated to Yahweh, His firstfruits of increase. The firstfruits were God’s consecrated property, His portion of the whole harvest. Pagan, i.

3. Holiness unto the Lord — Their national motto, worn by the highpriest on his breastplate.
