Jeremiah 3:20 in Context — Jeremiah 3
18 Naqueles tempos os da casa de Judá andarão com a casa de Israel, e virão juntamente da terra do norte à terra que eu fiz herdar a vossos pais.
19 Mas eu disse: Como te porei por filhos, e te darei a terra desejável, a rica propriedade dos exércitos das nações? E disse: tu me chamarás: Meu pai, e não te desviarás de detrás de mim.
20 Porém, tal como a esposa trai o seu companheiro, assim traístes contra mim, ó casa de Israel, diz o SENHOR.
21 Uma voz se ouve sobre os lugares altos: é o pranto das súplicas dos filhos de Israel; porque perverteram seu caminho, [e] se esqueceram do SENHOR seu Deus.
22 Convertei-vos, filhos rebeldes; eu sararei vossas rebeliões.Eis-nos aqui; chegamos a ti, porque tu és o SENHOR nosso Deus.
