Jeremiah 40:4 in Context — Jeremiah 40
2 Pois o capitão da guarda tomou a Jeremias, e lhe disse: O SENHOR teu Deus falou este mal contra este lugar;
3 E o SENHOR trouxe e fez o que havia falado; porque pecastes contra o SENHOR, e não obedecestes a sua voz, por isso vos aconteceu isto.
4 E agora, eis que soltei hoje das cadeias que estavam sobre tuas mãos. Se [parece] bom aos teus olhos vir comigo à Babilônia, vem, e eu olharei por teu bem; mas se te [parece] mau aos teus olhos vir comigo a Babilônia, não o faça; olha, toda a terra está diante de ti; onde [te parecer] melhor e mais correto aos teus olhos ir, para ali vai.
5 Mas antes de [Jeremias] ter se virado, [o capitão lhe disse mais] : Volta para Gedalias, filho de Aicã, filho de Safã, ao qual o rei da Babilônia pôs sobre todas as cidades de Judá, e habita com ele em meio do povo; ou vai aonde te [parecer] mais correto aos teus olhos ir. E deu-lhe alimento [para o caminho] , e um presente; e o despediu.
6 Assim foi Jeremias a Gedalias filho de Aicã, a Mispá, e habitou com ele em meio do povo que tinha restado na terra.
