Jeremiah 51:17 in Context — Jeremiah 51

15 Ele é o que fez a terra com sua força, o que estabeleceu o mundo com sua sabedoria, e estendeu os céus com seu entendimento;

16 Quando ele dá sua voz, há um grande estrondo de águas no céu, e faz subir as nuvens desde os confins da terra; ele faz os relâmpagos com a chuva, e tira o vento de seus tesouros.

17 Todo homem tem se tornado bruto, e sem conhecimento; envergonha-se todo artífice da imagem de escultura, porque sua imagem de fundição é mentira, e não há espírito nelas.

18 Elas são inúteis, obra de enganos; no tempo de seu castigo perecerão.

19 A porção de Jacó não é como eles; pois ele é o Formador de tudo; e Israel é a vara de sua herança; EU-SOU dos exércitos é o seu nome.
