Listen to Jeremias 8:15
15 Esperamos a paz, porém não chegou bem algum; e o tempo da cura, e eis o terror.

Jeremias 8:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 8:15

We looked for peace
Outward prosperity, affluence of temporal blessings, peace with enemies, and safety from them, which the false prophets had given them reason to expect; or which last they concluded and hoped for, from their being in the defenced cities: but no good came;
they were disappointed in their expectation; the good that was promised them, and they looked for, never came, but all the reverse: and for a time of health;
or, of healing F12; the political wounds of the commonwealth of Israel: and behold trouble!
or "terror" F13; at the approach of the enemy, described in the following verses. The Targum is,

``a time of pardon of offences, and, lo, a punishment of sins.''
Healing, in Scripture, signifies pardon of sin; see ( Psalms 41:4 ) ( 103:3 ) .

Jeremias 8:15 In-Context

13 Quando eu os colheria, diz o Senhor, já não há uvas na vide, nem figos na figueira; até a folha está caída; e aquilo mesmo que lhes dei se foi deles.
14 Por que nos assentamos ainda? juntai-vos e entremos nas cidades fortes, e ali pereçamos; pois o Senhor nosso Deus nos destinou a perecer e nos deu a beber água de fel; porquanto pecamos contra o Senhor.
15 Esperamos a paz, porém não chegou bem algum; e o tempo da cura, e eis o terror.
16 Já desde Dã se ouve o resfolegar dos seus cavalos; a terra toda estremece � voz dos rinchos dos seus ginetes; porque vêm e devoram a terra e quanto nela há, a cidade e os que nela habitam.
17 Pois eis que envio entre vós serpentes, basiliscos, contra os quais não há encantamento; e eles vos morderão, diz o Senhor.
