Jeremiah 23:21 in Context — Jeremiah 23

19 Eis que a tempestade da ira do SENHOR já saiu; e a tempestade é violenta, que atingirá violentamente sobre a cabeça dos maus.

20 Não se afastará a ira do SENHOR, enquanto não tiver executado e cumprido os pensamentos de seu coração; nos últimos dias entendereis isso claramente.

21 Eu não enviei aqueles profetas, porém eles foram correndo; eu não lhes falei, porém eles profetizaram.

22 Mas se eles tivessem estado em meu conselho, então teriam anunciado minhas palavras a meu povo; e teriam feito com que deixassem seu mau caminho e a maldade de suas ações.

23 Por acaso sou eu Deus [apenas] de perto,diz o SENHOR, e não também Deus de longe?
