Jeremiah 6:17 in Context — Jeremiah 6
15 Eles se envergonham de fazerem abominação? Não, não se envergonham de maneira nenhuma, nem sequer sabem ter vergonha. Por isso cairão entre os que caem; tropeçarão quando eu os visitar, diz o SENHOR.
16 Assim diz o SENHOR: Ficai parados nos caminhos, e vede, e perguntai pelas veredas antigas, qual é o bom caminho, e andai por ele; então achareis descanso para vossa alma. Mas disseram: Não andaremos.
17 Também pus vigilantes sobre vós, que dissessem: Prestai atenção à voz da trombeta. Mas eles disseram: Não prestaremos atenção.
18 Portanto ouvi, ó nações, e saiba disto, o multidão que nelas está;
19 Ouve tu, ó terra: Eis que eu trarei mal sobre este povo: o fruto de seus pensamentos; pois não dão atenção a minhas palavras, e rejeitam a minha lei.
