Jeremiah 6:7 in Context — Jeremiah 6

5 Levantai-vos, e subamos de noite, e destruamos seus palácios.

6 Porque assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Cortai árvores, e levantai cercos junto a Jerusalém; esta é a cidade que tem de ser punida; opressão há no meio dela.

7 Tal como a fonte jorra suas águas, assim também ela constantemente jorra sua malícia; violência e destruição se ouve nela; continuamente há enfermidade e feridas perante mim.

8 Corrige-te, Jerusalém, para que minha alma não se afaste de ti, para que eu não te torne desolada, uma terra não habitada.

9 Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Sacudirão por completo o restante de Israel tal como a vide; volta tua mão aos cestos como alguém que colhe uvas.
