Jeremiah 50:16 in Context — Jeremiah 50

14 Preparai-vos em linha de batalha contra Babilônia ao redor, todos vós que armais arcos; atirai contra ela, não poupeis as flechas; pois ela pecou contra o SENHOR.

15 Gritai contra ela ao redor, [pois] já se rendeu; caíram seus fundamentos, derrubados são seus muros, pois esta é vingança do SENHOR. Vingai-vos dela; fazei com ela assim como ela fez.

16 Exterminai da Babilônia o semeador, e o que usa a foice no tempo da ceifa; por causa da espada opressora, cada um se voltará ao seu povo, cada um fugirá para sua terra.

17 Israel é um cordeiro desgarrado, que leões afugentaram; o rei da Assíria foi o primeiro que o devorou; e este, Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia, o último, que lhe quebrou os ossos.

18 Portanto assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que punirei ao rei de Babilônia e a sua terra assim como puni ao rei da Assíria.
