Jeremiah 5:9 in Context — Jeremiah 5

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.

11 Pois a casa de Israel e a casa de Judá traíram enganosamente contra mim,diz o SENHOR.
