Jeremiah 50:42 in Context — Jeremiah 50

40 Assim como Deus destruiu Sodoma, Gomorra e suas cidades vizinhas,diz o SENHOR, assim também não habitará ali homem, nem filho de homem a morará.

41 Eis que um povo vem do norte; e uma grande nação, e muitos reis se levantarão dos lugares distantes da terra.

42 Eles manejam arco e lança; são cruéis, e não terão compaixão; sua voz soará como o mar, e montarão sobre cavalos; ficarão em posição como de homem para a batalha, contra ti, ó filha da Babilônia.

43 O rei da Babilônia ouviu a notícia deles, e suas mãos perderam as forças; tomado foi por angústia e dor, como mulher de parto.

44 Eis que como leão subirá da mata do Jordão contra a morada do forte; pois repentinamente o farei correr dali. E ordenarei contra ela a quem eu escolher; pois quem é semelhante a mim? E quem manda em mim? Ou quem é o pastor que pode subsistir diante de mim?
