Jeremiah 15:18 in Context — Jeremiah 15

16 Achando-se tuas palavras, logo eu as comi; e tua palavra me foi por prazer e por alegria a meu coração; pois me chamo pelo teu nome, ó SENHOR Deus dos exércitos.

17 Não me sentei em companhia de zombadores, nem [com eles] me alegrei; por causa de tua mão, eu me sentei sozinho, pois me encheste de indignação.

18 Por que minha dor é contínua, e minha ferida intratável, que não permite cura? Por acaso serias tu para mim como uma ilusão, como águas que não se pode confiar?

19 Portanto assim diz o SENHOR: Se te converteres, eu te restaurarei, e diante de mim estarás; e se tirares o que é de precioso ao invés do vil, serás como minha boca. Convertam-se eles a ti, e tu não te convertas a eles.

20 Pois eu te porei para este povo [para seres] como um forte muro de bronze; e lutarão contra ti, mas não te vencerão; pois eu estou contigo para te guardar e te livrar,diz o SENHOR.
