Jeremias 9:14

14 antes andaram obstinadamente segundo o seu próprio coração, e após baalins, como lhes ensinaram os seus pais.

Jeremias 9:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 9:14

But have walked after the imagination of their own heart
What their own hearts devised, chose, and were best pleased with; (See Gill on Jeremiah 7:24), and after Baalim;
the idols of the Gentiles; these they served and worshipped, and not the true God: which their fathers taught them;
which was so far from excusing them, that it was an aggravation of their sin, that they had continued in their wicked ways and idolatrous practices, from age to age, from one generation to another. This then was the cause of their calamity and destruction; they had forsaken the law of the Lord, and had broken that; they had chose their own ways, and had been guilty of idolatrous practices time out of mind; wherefore the Lord had shown much longsuffering and patience with them, and would now no longer forbear he was just and righteous in his doings.

Jeremias 9:14 In-Context

12 Quem é o homem sábio, que entenda isto? e a quem falou a boca do Senhor, para que o possa anunciar? Por que razão pereceu a terra, e se queimou como um deserto, de sorte que ninguém passa por ela?
13 E diz o Senhor: porque deixaram a minha lei, que lhes pus diante, e não deram ouvidos � minha voz, nem andaram nela,
14 antes andaram obstinadamente segundo o seu próprio coração, e após baalins, como lhes ensinaram os seus pais.
15 Portanto assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que darei de comer losna a este povo, e lhe darei a beber água de fel.
16 Também os espalharei por entre nações que nem eles nem seus pais conheceram; e mandarei a espada após eles, até que venha a consumi-los.
