Isaiah 30:17 in Context — Isaiah 30

15 Pois assim diz o Senhor DEUS, o Santo de Israel: Com arrependimento e descanso, ficaríeis livres; com calma e confiança teríeis força; mas vós não quisestes.

16 Ao invés disso, dissestes: Não, é melhor fugirmos sobre cavalos. Cavalgaremos em rápidos cavalos! Por isso vós fugireis, mas vossos perseguidores serão [ainda mais] rápidos.

17 Ao grito de um, mil [fugirão] ,[e] ao grito de cinco, [todos] vós fugireis; até que sejais deixados [solitários] ,como um mastro no cume do monte, como uma bandeira num morro.

18 Por isso o SENHOR esperará para ter piedade de vós; e por isso ele se exaltará, para se compadecer de vós; pois o SENHOR é Deus de juízo; bem-aventurados todos os que nele esperam.

19 Pois o povo habitará em Sião, em Jerusalém; certamente não continuarás a chorar; ele terá piedade de ti sob a voz do teu clamor; quando a ouvir, ele te responderá.
