Jeremiah 31:18 in Context — Jeremiah 31

16 Assim diz o SENHOR: Reprime tua voz de choro, e teus olhos de lágrimas; pois há recompensa para teu trabalho, diz o SENHOR, pois voltarão da terra do inimigo.

17 E há esperança para o teu futuro,diz o SENHOR, pois os [teus] filhos voltarão a suas [próprias] fronteiras.

18 De fato ouvi Efraim se queixar, [dizendo] : Castigaste-me, e fui castigado como um novilho não domado; converte-me e serei convertido; pois tu és o SENHOR meu Deus.

19 Pois depois que me desviei, arrependi-me; depois que entendi, golpeei-me na coxa; envergonhei-me, e me senti humilhado, porque levei a vergonha de minha juventude.

20 Por acaso não é Efraim um filho precioso para mim? Não é ele um filho do meu agrado? Pois mesmo tendo eu falado contra ele, eu me lembro dele constantemente. Por isso minhas entranhas se comovem por ele; certamente terei compaixão dele,diz o SENHOR.
