Jeremiah 29:17 in Context — Jeremiah 29
15 Visto que dizeis: “O SENHOR tem nos levantado profetas na Babilônia”,
16 por isso assim diz o SENHOR acerca do rei que se assenta sobre o trono de Davi, e de todo o povo que mora nesta cidade, os vossos irmãos que não saíram convosco ao cativeiro;
17 Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Eis que enviarei contra eles espada, fome, e pestilência; e farei deles como a figos podres, que de tão ruins não podem ser comidos.
18 E os perseguirei com espada, com fome e com pestilência; e os farei de horror a todos os reinos da terra, de maldição e de espanto, e de assovio e de humilhação entre todas a nações às quais eu os tiver lançado;
19 Porque não deram ouvidos às minhas palavras, diz o SENHOR, que lhes enviei por meus servos os profetas, insistindo em os enviar; próem não escutastes, diz o SENHOR.
