Jeremiah 10:23 in Context — Jeremiah 10

21 Porque os pastores se tornaram irracionais, e não buscaram ao SENHOR; por isso não agiram prudentemente, e todo o seu rebanho se dispersou.

22 Eis que vem uma voz de aviso, e um grande tremor da terra do norte; para tornar em desolação as cidades de Judá, em morada de chacais.

23 Eu sei, SENHOR, que não pertence ao homem o seu caminho, nem ao homem que anda a direção de seus passos.

24 Corrige-me, SENHOR, porém com moderação; não em tua ira, para que não me destruas.

25 Derrama tua ira sobre as nações que não te conhecem, e sobre os povos que não invocam o teu nome; pois devoraram a Jacó; eles o devoraram, consumiram e assolaram sua morada.
