Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Und du, Verwüstete, was wirst du tun? Wenn du dich auch in Karmesin kleidest, wenn du mit goldenem Geschmeide dich schmückst, wenn du deine Augen mit Schminke aufreißest: vergeblich machst du dich schön; die Buhlen verschmähen dich, sie trachten nach deinem Leben.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Y tú, destruída, ¿qué harás? Bien que te vistas de grana, aunque te adornes con atavíos de oro, aunque pintes con antimonio tus ojos, en vano te engalanas; menospreciáronte los amadores, buscarán tu alma.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
E que farás tu, ó assolada? Ainda que te vistas de vermelho, ainda que te adornes com ornamentos de ouro, ainda que pintes teus olhos, em vão te enfeitarias; os teus amantes te desprezam, e buscarão matar a tua alma.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Agora que foste devastada, o que farás? Pois, embora te vistas de púrpura e te adornes com joias de ouro e, com pinturas, faças teus olhos parecerem maiores, os homens que te cobiçavam, agora te rejeitam. Eles estão tentando tirar tua vida.
📖 Jeremiah 4:30 in Context
28For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
29The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
30And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
31For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
