Jeremiah 2:14 in Context — Jeremiah 2
12 Espantai-vos, céus, por causa disto, e horrorizai-vos; ficai bastante desolados, diz o SENHOR.
13 Pois meu povo fez dois males: deixaram a mim, [que sou] fonte de água viva, para cavarem para si cisternas, cisternas rachadas, que não retêm águas.
14 Por acaso Israel é um servo? É um escravo de nascimento? Por que, [então] ,ele se tornou uma presa?
15 Os filhotes de leão bramaram sobre ele, deram sua voz; e tornaram sua terra uma assolação; suas cidades estão queimadas, sem morador;
16 Até os filhos de Nofe e de Tafnes te quebraram o topo da cabeça.
