Jeremias 17:17

17 Não sejas motivo de pavor para mim;tu és o meu refúgio no dia da desgraça.

Jeremias 17:17 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 17:17

Be not a terror unto me
By deserting him, and leaving him in the hands of his enemies; or by denying him supports under their reproaches and persecution; or by withdrawing his gracious presence from him, than which nothing is more terrible to a good man; or by withholding the comfortable influences of his Spirit; or by suffering terrors to be injected into him from any quarter; and more is meant than is expressed; namely, that God would be a comforter of him, and bear him up under all his troubles:

thou [art] my hope in the day of evil:
the author and object of his hope; the ground and foundation of it, from whom he hoped for deliverance, when it was a time of distress with him, from outward as well as from inward enemies; he was his hope in a time of outward calamity, and in the hour of death and day of judgment.

Jeremias 17:17 In-Context

15 Há os que vivem me dizendo:“Onde está a palavra do SENHOR?Que ela se cumpra!”

16 Mas não insisti eu contigo para que afastasses a desgraça?Tu sabes que não desejei o dia do desespero.Sabes o que saiu de meus lábios, pois está diante de ti.

17 Não sejas motivo de pavor para mim;tu és o meu refúgio no dia da desgraça.

18 Que os meus perseguidores sejam humilhados,mas não eu;que eles sejam aterrorizados,mas não eu.Traze sobre eles o dia da desgraça;destrói-os com destruição dobrada.

19 Assim me disse o SENHOR: “Vá colocar-se à porta do Povo, por onde entram e saem os reis de Judá; faça o mesmo junto a todas as portas de Jerusalém.
