6 e não andeis após deuses alheios para os servirdes, e para os adorardes, nem me provoqueis � ira com a obra de vossas mãos; e não vos farei mal algum.

Jeremias 25:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:6

And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship
them
So long as they served the Lord God, they continued in their own land, in the comfortable enjoyment of all the blessings of it; for their government was a theocracy; God was their King; and as long as they served and worshipped him only, he protected and defended them; but when they forsook him, and went after other gods, and served and worshipped them, then they were threatened to be turned out of their land, and carried captive into other lands; and yet, after all, if they returned from their idolatries, and left off worshipping idols, the Lord was ready to receive them kindly, and continue his favours to them: and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands;
their idols, which their own hands made, and then fell down to worship them; than which nothing can be more provoking to God: and I will do you no hurt;
by sword, or famine, or pestilence, or captivity; signifying the hurt he had threatened them with should not be done, provided they forsook their idolatrous worship; God does no hurt to his true worshippers; yea, he makes all things work together for their good.

Jeremias 25:6 In-Context

4 Também o Senhor vos tem enviado com insistência todos os seus servos, os profetas mas vós não escutastes, nem inclinastes os vossos ouvidos para ouvir,

5 quando vos diziam: Convertei-vos agora cada um do seu mau caminho, e da maldade das suas ações, e habitai na terra que o Senhor vos deu e a vossos pais, desde os tempos antigos e para sempre;

6 e não andeis após deuses alheios para os servirdes, e para os adorardes, nem me provoqueis � ira com a obra de vossas mãos; e não vos farei mal algum.

7 Todavia não me escutastes, diz o Senhor, mas me provocastes � ira com a obra de vossas mãos, para vosso mal.

8 Portanto assim diz o Senhor dos exércitos: Visto que não escutastes as minhas palavras
