Jeremiah 4:20 in Context — Jeremiah 4
18 Teu caminho e teus atos te causaram estas coisas; esta é tua maldade, tão amarga, que chega ao teu coração.
19 Ai minhas entranhas, minhas entranhas! Estou com grandes dores nas paredes do meu coração; meu coração se inquieta, não consigo me calar; porque tu, ó alma minha, ouves o som da trombeta, o clamor da guerra.
20 Destruição sobre destruição se anuncia, pois toda a terra já está arruinada; de repente foram destruídas minhas tendas, num instante minhas cortinas.
21 Até quando verei a bandeira, [e] ouvirei a voz da trombeta?
22 De fato meu povo está louco, já não me conhecem; são filhos tolos, sem entendimento; são “sábios” para fazer o mal, mas para fazer o bem nada sabem.
