Jeremiah 6:23 in Context — Jeremiah 6
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.
24 Nós ouvimos a fama deles, e nossas mãos perderam a força; fomos tomados pela angústia, [e] dor como de mulher no parto.
25 Não saiais ao campo, nem andeis pelo caminho; porque a espada do inimigo [e] o terror está ao redor.
