Jeremiah 9:1 in Context — Jeremiah 9

1 Ah, se minha cabeça se tornasse em águas, e meus olhos em um manancial de águas! Então eu choraria dia e noite pelos mortos da filha de meu povo.

2 Ah, se houvesse para mim no deserto uma hospedaria para caminhantes! Então eu deixaria o meu povo, e me afastaria deles; pois todos eles são adúlteros, são um bando de traiçoeiros.

3 Eles estendem suas línguas, como [se] lhes fossem arcos, para atirarem mentira; e se fortaleceram na terra, mas não por meio da verdade; porque se avançam de mal em mal, e não me conhecem, diz o SENHOR.
