Jeremiah 4:8 in Context — Jeremiah 4

6 Erguei bandeia para Sião, retirai-vos, não vos detenhais; porque eu trago um mal do norte, e grande destruição.

7 O leão já subiu de seu refúgio, e o destruidor de nações já se partiu; ele saiu de seu lugar para pôr tua terra em assolação; tuas cidades serão destruídas, de modo que não haja [nelas] morador.

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.
