Jeremiah 18:20 in Context — Jeremiah 18
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.
20 Por acaso se pagará ao bem com o mal? Pois já cavaram uma cova para a minha alma! Lembra-te que me pus diante de ti para falar pelo bem deles, para desviar deles a tua ira.
21 Portanto entrega os filhos deles à fome, e derrama-os pelo poder da espada; e restem suas mulheres sem filhos e viúvas; e seus maridos sejam postos a morte, e seus rapazes sejam feridos à espada na guerra.
22 Ouçam-se gritos de suas casas, quando tu trouxeres tropas contra eles de repente; pois cavaram uma cova para me prender, e armaram laços para meus pés.
