Jeremias 6:18 In-Context

16 Assim diz o Senhor: Ponde-vos nos caminhos, e vede, e perguntai pelas veredas antigas, qual é o bom caminho, e andai por ele; e achareis descanso para as vossas almas. Mas eles disseram: Não andaremos nele.
17 Também pus atalaias sobre vós dizendo: Estai atentos � voz da buzina. Mas disseram: Não escutaremos.
18 Portanto ouvi, vós, nações, e informa-te tu, ó congregação, do que se faz entre eles!
19 Ouve tu, ó terra! Eis que eu trarei o mal sobre este povo, o próprio fruto dos seus pensamentos; porque não estão atentos �s minhas palavras; e quanto � minha lei, rejeitaram-na.
20 Para que, pois, me vem o incenso de Sabá, ou a melhor cana aromática de terras remotas? Vossos holocaustos não são aceitáveis, nem me agradam os vossos sacrifícios.
