Jeremiah 5:15 in Context — Jeremiah 5
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.
15 Eis que trarei sobre vós uma nação de longe, ó casa de Israel,diz o SENHOR; uma nação forte, nação bastante antiga; uma nação cuja língua não saberás, e o que falarem não entenderás.
16 Sua aljava é como uma sepultura aberta; todos eles são poderosos.
17 E comerão tua colheita e teu pão, que teus filhos e tuas filhas comeriam; comerão tuas ovelhas e tuas vacas, comerão tuas vides e tuas figueiras; e derrubarão por meio da espada tuas cidades fortes em que confias.
