Jeremiah 4:10 in Context — Jeremiah 4

8 Por isso vesti-vos de saco, lamentai e uivai; porque o ardor da ira do SENHOR não se desviou de nós.

9 E será naquele dia, diz o SENHOR, que o coração do rei e o coração dos príncipes desfalecerão; os sacerdotes ficarão pasmos, e os profetas se maravilharão.

10 Então eu disse: Ah, Senhor DEUS! Verdadeiramente enganaste grandemente a este povo e a Jerusalém, dizendo: Tereis paz; porém a espada chega até a alma.

11 Naquele tempo se dirá a este povo e a Jerusalém: Um vento seco dos lugares altos do deserto [veio] ao caminho da filha do meu povo; não para padejar, nem para limpar;

12 Um vento forte demais para estas coisas virá de mim; agora também eu pronunciarei juízos contra eles.
