Jeremiah 8:3 in Context — Jeremiah 8
1 Naquele tempo, diz o SENHOR, tirarão os ossos dos reis de Judá, e os ossos de seus príncipes, e os ossos dos sacerdotes, e os ossos dos profetas, e os ossos dos moradores de Jerusalém, para fora de suas sepulturas;
2 E os estenderão ao sol, à lua, e a todo o exército do céu, a quem amaram, e a quem serviram, e atrás de quem se foram, e a quem buscaram, e a quem se prostraram. Não serão recolhidos nem sepultados: serão por esterco sobre a superfície da terra.
3 E a morte será preferida à vida por todos os restantes que restarem desta má geração, que restarem em todos os lugares onde eu os lancei, diz o SENHOR dos exércitos.
4 Dize-lhes também: Assim diz o SENHOR: Por acaso os que caem não se levantam? Os que se desviam, não voltam [ao caminho] ?
5 Então por que este povo de Jerusalém continuam se desviando permanentemente? Eles se mantêm no engano, não querem voltar.
