Jeremiah 6:21 in Context — Jeremiah 6

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.

20 Afinal, para que vem a mim o incenso de Sabá, e a boa cana aromática de uma terra distante? Vossos holocaustosnão [me] são aceitáveis, nem vossos sacrifícios me são agradáveis.

21 Portanto assim diz o SENHOR: Eis que porei tropeços a este povo, e cairão neles juntamente os pais e os filhos; o vizinho e seu companheiro perecerão.

22 Assim diz o SENHOR: Eis que vem um povo da terra do norte; e uma grande nação se levantará dos confins da terra.

23 Eles trarão arco e lança; são cruéis, que não terão misericórdia; a voz deles rugirá como o mar, e sobre cavalo cavalgarão, como homens dispostos para a guerra contra ti, ó filha de Sião.
