Portuguese NVT (Bíblia Sagrada, Nova Versão Transformadora)
“Eles, porém, se rebelaram contra mim e não quiseram ouvir. Não se livraram das imagens repugnantes pelas quais estavam obcecados, nem abandonaram os ídolos do Egito. Então ameacei derramar minha fúria sobre eles para satisfazer minha ira enquanto ainda estavam no Egito.
O que isso significa?
In this verse, God is speaking and saying that the Israelites did not listen to Him and continued to worship false idols. This made God very angry, and He decided to pour out His fury on them in Egypt.
