Jeremiah 13:23 in Context — Jeremiah 13
21 O que dirás quando ele te punir? Pois tu os ensinaste a serem príncipes e cabeça sobre ti. Por acaso as dores não te tomarão, como uma mulher em parto?
22 E quando disseres em teu coração: Por que estas coisas me aconteceram? [A resposta é] : Foi pela grandeza de tua maldade que tuas roupas foram descobertas, e foste violentada.
23 Pode o negro mudar a sua pele, ou o leopardo suas manchas? Assim também podeis vós fazer o bem, sendo tão acostumados a praticar o mal?
24 Portanto eu os espalharei como os restos de palha que passam com o vento do deserto.
25 Isto é o que terás, a porção de tuas medidas que te reservo, diz o SENHOR; pois tu te esqueceste de mim, e confiaste na mentira.
