Jeremiah 8:19 in Context — Jeremiah 8

17 Porque he aquí que yo envío sobre vosotros serpientes, basiliscos, contra los cuales no hay encantamiento; y os morderán, dice Jehová.

18 A causa de mi fuerte dolor mi corazón desfallece en mí.

19 He aquí voz del clamor de la hija de mi pueblo, que viene de la tierra lejana: ¿No está Jehová en Sión? ¿no está en ella su Rey? ¿Por qué me hicieron airar con sus imágenes de talla, con vanidades ajenas?

20 Pasóse la siega, acabóse el verano, y nosotros no hemos sido salvos.

21 Quebrantado estoy por el quebrantamiento de la hija de mi pueblo; entenebrecido estoy, espanto me ha arrebatado.
