Jeremiah 5:8 in Context — Jeremiah 5
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.
7 Como te perdoaria por isto? Teus filhos me deixaram, e juram pelo que não é Deus. Eu os saciei, porém eles adulteraram, e se aglomeraram em casa de prostitutas.
8 [Como] cavalos bem alimentados, levantam-se pela manhã; cada um relinchava à mulher de seu próximo.
9 Não teria eu de fazer visitação sobre isto?diz o SENHOR. De uma nação como esta não vingaria minha alma?
10 Subi seus muros, e destruí; mas não destruais por completo. Tirai os ramos de seus muros, porque não pertencem ao SENHOR.
