Jeremiah 6:27 in Context — Jeremiah 6

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.

27 Eu te pus por avaliador e por fortaleza entre meu povo, para que reconheças, e examines o caminho deles.

28 Todos eles são os mais teimosos rebeldes, que vivem enganando; são [duros como] cobre e ferro: todos eles são corruptos.

29 O fole já se queimou, o chumbo já se consumiu pelo fogo; em vão é feita a fundição, pois os maus não são arrancados.
