Jeremiah 12:7 in Context — Jeremiah 12

5 Se ao correres com os que estão a pé, eles te cansam, como competirás com os cavalos? E se [somente] em terra de paz te sentes seguro, como agirás tu nos matagais junto ao Jordão?

6 Porque até teus irmãos e a casa de teu pai passaram a agir traiçoeiramente contra ti, até eles gritaram atrás de ti. Não creias neles, quando te falarem coisas boas.

7 Deixei minha casa, abandonei minha herança, entreguei a amada de minha alma nas mãos de seus inimigos.

8 Minha herança se tornou para mim como um leão na floresta: ela levantou sua voz contra mim; por isso que eu a odeio.

9 Não é minha herança para mim uma ave de rapina de muitas cores? Não estão contra ela aves de rapina ao redor? Vinde, ajuntai-vos, todas os animais do campo, vinde para devorá-la.
