Jeremiah 8:14 in Context — Jeremiah 8
12 Por acaso eles se envergonham de terem feito abominação? Não, eles não se envergonharam; eles nem sequer sabem o que é ter vergonha; por isso cairão entre os que caírem, tropeçarão no tempo em que eu os castigar, diz o SENHOR.
13 Certamente eu os apanharei,diz o SENHOR. Não haverá uvas na vide, nem figos na figueira, e [até] a folha cairá; e aquilo que lhes dei passará deles.
14 Por que [ainda] estamos sentados? Ajuntai-vos, e entremos nas cidades fortes; e ali pereçamos: pois o SENHOR nosso Deus tem nos matado, e nos deu a beber bebida de fel, porque pecamos contra o SENHOR.
15 Esperávamos paz, mas nada de bom houve; [esperávamos] tempo de cura, e eis aqui terror.
16 Desde Dã se ouve o ronco de seus cavalos; toda a terra treme pelo som do relinchar de seus fortes; e eles vêm e devoram a terra e sua abundância, a cidade e seus moradores.
