Jeremiah 5:4 in Context — Jeremiah 5
2 E ainda que digam: Vive o SENHOR; contudo juram falsamente.
3 Ah SENHOR, por acaso teus olhos não [enxergam] a verdade? Tu os feriste, mas não lhes doeu; tu os consumiste, mas não aceitaram receber correção; endureceram seus rostos mais que rocha; não quiseram se converter.
4 Eu porém disse: Certamente eles são pobres; enlouqueceram, pois não conhecem o caminho do SENHOR, o juízo de seu Deus.
5 Irei aos grandes, e falarei com eles; porque eles conhecem o caminho do SENHOR, o juízo de seu Deus.Porém eles também quebraram o jugo; [também] romperam as amarras.
6 Por isso um leão do bosque os ferirá; um lobo do deserto os destruirá; um leopardo vigiará sobre suas cidades; qualquer um que delas sair, será despedaçado; pois suas transgressões se multiplicaram, foram numerosas suas infidelidades.
