Jeremiah 3:21 in Context — Jeremiah 3

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.

23 Certamente [confiar] nos morros é inútil, na multidão dos montes; certamente a salvação de Israel está no SENHOR nosso Deus.
