Jeremiah 18:17 in Context — Jeremiah 18
15 Porém meu povo se esqueceu de mim, queimando incenso à inutilidade, e fazem- lhes tropeçar em seus caminhos, [nas] veredas antigas, para que andassem por veredas de caminho não aplanado;
16 Para tornar sua terra em desolação, e em assovios perpétuos; todo aquele que passar por ela se espantará e balançará sua cabeça.
17 Tal como vento oriental, eu os espalharei diante do inimigo; eu lhes mostrarei as costas, e não o rosto, no dia de sua perdição.
18 Então disseram: Vinde, e façamos planos contra Jeremias; porque a Lei não perecerá do sacerdote, nem o conselho do sábio, nem a palavra do profeta. Vinde e o firamos com a língua, e não prestemos atenção a nenhuma de suas palavras.
19 Ó SENHOR, presta atenção a mim, e ouve a voz dos que brigam comigo.
