Jeremiah 11:8 in Context — Jeremiah 11

6 E disse-me o SENHOR: Proclama todas estas palavras nas cidades de Judá e nas ruas de Jerusalém, dizendo: Ouvi as palavras deste pacto, e praticai-as;

7 Porque insistentemente adverti a vossos pais o dia que eu os tirei da terra do Egito até o dia de hoje, repetidamente advertindo, dizendo: Ouvi minha voz.

8 Porém não ouviram, nem inclinaram seus ouvidos; ao invés disso, seguiram cada um a teimosia de seu coração maligno. Por isso trouxe sobre eles todas as palavras deste pacto, que mandei que cumprissem, mas não cumpriram.

9 E disse-me o SENHOR: Achou-se conspiração entre os homens de Judá, e entre os moradores de Jerusalém.

10 Voltaram às maldades de seus primeiros pais, que se recusaram a ouvir minhas palavras; ao invés disso, eles seguiram deuses estrangeiros, para lhes servirem; a casa de Israel e a casa de Judá violaram meu pacto, que eu tinha feito com seus pais.
