Jeremiah 8:14 in Context — Jeremiah 8
12 ¿Hanse avergonzado de haber hecho abominación? Por cierto no se han corrido de vergüenza, ni supieron avergonzarse; caerán por tanto entre los que cayeren, cuando los visitaré: caerán, dice Jehová.
13 Cortarélos de por junto, dice Jehová. No habrá uvas en la vid, ni higos en la higuera, y caeráse la hoja; y lo que les he dado pasará de ellos.
14 ¿Sobre qué nos aseguramos? Juntaos, y entrémonos en las ciudades fuertes, y allí reposaremos: porque Jehová nuestro Dios nos ha hecho callar, y dádonos á beber bebida de hiel, porque pecamos contra Jehová.
15 Esperamos paz, y no hubo bien; día de cura, y he aquí turbación.
16 Desde Dan se oyó el bufido de sus caballos: del sonido de los relinchos de sus fuertes tembló toda la tierra; y vinieron y devoraron la tierra y su abundancia, ciudad y moradores de ella.
