Jeremiah 6:24 in Context — Jeremiah 6

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.

26 Tu, filha de meu povo, veste-te de saco, e revolve-te em cinza; chora de luto [como] por um filho único, pranto de amarguras; porque logo virá sobre nós o destruidor.
