Jeremiah 17:4 in Context — Jeremiah 17

2 Enquanto seus filhos se lembram de seus altares e de seus bosques, junto às árvores verdes, sobre os altos morros.

3 Ó minha montanha no campo! Tua riqueza e todos os teus tesouros darei como despojo por causa do pecado de teus altos em todos teus limites.

4 Assim por causa de ti deixarás de ter a herança que eu te dei, e te farei servir a teus inimigos em uma terra que não conheces; porque acendestes fogo em minha ira, que arderá para sempre.

5 Assim diz o SENHOR: Maldito o homem que confia no homem, e põe sua confiança na força humana, ) e seu coração se afasta do SENHOR;

6 Pois será como um arbusto no deserto, e não sente quando vier o bem; ao invés disso morará nas securas no deserto, em terra salgada e inabitável.
