Jeremiah 9:21 in Context — Jeremiah 9

19 Porque uma voz de pranto foi ouvida de Sião: Como fomos destruídos! Nós nos tornamos muito envergonhados, por termos deixado a terra, por nossas moradas terem sido arruinadas.

20 Ouvi pois, vós mulheres, a palavra do SENHOR, e vossos ouvidos recebam a palavra de sua boca; e ensinai pranto a vossas filhas, e cada uma lamentação a sua companheira.

21 Porque a morte subiu a nossas janelas, [e] entrou em nossos palácios; para arrancar os meninos das ruas, os rapazes das praças.

22 Fala: Assim disse o SENHOR: Os cadáveres dos homens cairão como esterco sobre a face do campo, e como espigas de cereal atrás do ceifeiro, que não há quem as recolha.

23 Assim diz o SENHOR: Não se orgulhe o sábio em sua sabedoria, nem o valente se orgulhe em sua valentia, nem o rico se orgulhe em suas riquezas.
