Ezekiel 21:22 in Context — Ezekiel 21

20 Propõe um caminho, por onde venha a espada contra Rabá dos filhos de Amom, e contra Judá, contra a fortificada Jerusalém.

21 Porque o rei de Babilônia parará em uma encruzilhada, no começo de dois caminhos, para usar de adivinhação; ele sacudiu flechas, consultou ídolos, olhou o fígado.

22 A adivinhação será para a direita, sobre Jerusalém, para ordenar capitães, para abrir a boca à matança, para levantar a voz em grito, para pôr aríetes contra as portas, para levantar cercos, e edificar fortificações.

23 E isto será como uma adivinhação falsa aos olhos daqueles que com juramentos firmaram compromisso com eles; porém ele se lembrará da maldade, para que sejam presos.

24 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Dado que fizestes relembrar vossas maldades, manifestando vossas rebeliões, e revelando vossos pecados em todas vossos atos; por teres feito relembrar, sereis presos com a mão.
