Jeremiah 5:12 in Context — Jeremiah 5
10 Subi seus muros, e destruí; mas não destruais por completo. Tirai os ramos de seus muros, porque não pertencem ao SENHOR.
11 Pois a casa de Israel e a casa de Judá traíram enganosamente contra mim,diz o SENHOR.
12 Negaram ao SENHOR, e disseram: Não é ele; não virá mal sobre nós; não veremos espada, nem fome;
13 e até os profetas serão [como] o vento, pois a palavra não está neles; assim acontecerá a eles mesmos.
14 Portanto assim diz o SENHOR Deus dos exércitos: Visto que falastes esta palavra, eis que tornarei minhas palavras em tua boca em fogo, e a este povo será lenha; e [o fogo] os consumirá.
