Jeremiah 8:17 in Context — Jeremiah 8
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.
17 Porque eis que eu envio entre vós serpentes, [e] cobras venenosas, contra as quais não há encantamento; e elas vos morderão, diz o SENHOR.
18 Até meu consolo está em tristeza; meu coração desfalece em mim.
19 Eis a voz do clamor da filha de meu povo, desde uma da terra distante: Por acaso não está o SENHOR em Sião? Não está nela o seu rei? Por que me provocaram à ira com suas imagens de escultura, com coisas estrangeiras inúteis?
