Jeremiah 38:2 in Context — Jeremiah 38
1 Então Sefatias filho de Matã, Gedalias filho de Pasur, Jucal filho de Selemias, e Pasur filho de Melquias, ouviram as palavras que Jeremias falava a todo o povo, dizendo:
2 Assim diz o SENHOR: Quem ficar nesta cidade morrerá pela espada, pela fome, ou pela pestilência; mas quem sair aos caldeus viverá, pois sua alma lhe será por despojo, e viverá.
3 Assim diz o SENHOR: Certamente esta cidade será entregue nas mãos do exército do rei da Babilônia, que a tomará.
4 E os príncipes disseram ao rei: Morra agora este homem; porque assim ele enfraquece as mãos dos homens de guerra que restaram nesta cidade, e as mãos de todo o povo, falando-lhes tais palavras; pois este homem não busca a paz deste povo, mas sim o mal.
