Jeremiah 4

KJV

1  If⁵¹⁸ thou wilt return,⁷⁷²⁵ O Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ return⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ me: and if⁵¹⁸ thou wilt put away⁵⁴⁹³ thine abominations⁸²⁵¹ out of my sight,^{4480 6440} then shalt thou not³⁸⁰⁸ remove.⁵¹¹⁰

2  And thou shalt swear,⁷⁶⁵⁰ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ in truth,⁵⁷¹ in judgment,⁴⁹⁴¹ and in righteousness;⁶⁶⁶⁶ and the nations¹⁴⁷¹ shall bless themselves¹²⁸⁸ in him, and in him shall they glory.¹⁹⁸⁴

3  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ to the men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ Break up⁵²¹⁴ your fallow ground,⁵²¹⁵ and sow²²³² not⁴⁰⁸ among⁴¹³ thorns.⁶⁹⁷⁵

4  Circumcise yourselves⁴¹³⁵ to the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and take away⁵⁴⁹³ the foreskins⁶¹⁹⁰ of your heart,³⁸²⁴ ye men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ lest⁶⁴³⁵ my fury²⁵³⁴ come forth³³¹⁸ like fire,⁷⁸⁴ and burn¹¹⁹⁷ that none³⁶⁹ can quench³⁵¹⁸ it, because^{4480 6440} of the evil⁷⁴⁵⁵ of your doings.⁴⁶¹¹

5  Declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ ye in Judah,³⁰⁶³ and publish⁸⁰⁸⁵ in Jerusalem;³³⁸⁹ and say,⁵⁵⁹ Blow⁸⁶²⁸ ye the trumpet⁷⁷⁸² in the land:⁷⁷⁶ cry,⁷¹²¹ gather together,⁴³⁹⁰ and say,⁵⁵⁹ Assemble yourselves,⁶²² and let us go⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the defensed⁴⁰¹³ cities.⁵⁸⁹²

6  Set up⁵³⁷⁵ the standard⁵²⁵¹ toward Zion:⁶⁷²⁶ retire,⁵⁷⁵⁶ stay⁵⁹⁷⁵ not:⁴⁰⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁹⁵ will bring⁹³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ from the north,^{4480 6828} and a great¹⁴¹⁹ destruction.⁷⁶⁶⁷

7  The lion⁷³⁸ is come up⁵⁹²⁷ from his thicket,^{4480 5441} and the destroyer⁷⁸⁴³ of the Gentiles¹⁴⁷¹ is on his way;⁵²⁶⁵ he is gone forth³³¹⁸ from his place^{4480 4725} to make⁷⁷⁶⁰ thy land⁷⁷⁶ desolate;⁸⁰⁴⁷ and thy cities⁵⁸⁹² shall be laid waste,⁵³²⁷ without^{4480 369} an inhabitant.³⁴²⁷

8  For⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁶³ gird²²⁹⁶ you with sackcloth,⁸²⁴² lament⁵⁵⁹⁴ and howl:³²¹³ for³⁵⁸⁸ the fierce²⁷⁴⁰ anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is not³⁸⁰⁸ turned back⁷⁷²⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ us.

9  And it shall come to pass¹⁹⁶¹ at that¹⁹³¹ day,³¹¹⁷ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that the heart³⁸²⁰ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ shall perish,⁶ and the heart³⁸²⁰ of the princes;⁸²⁶⁹ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ shall be astonished,⁸⁰⁷⁴ and the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ shall wonder.⁸⁵³⁹

10  Then said⁵⁵⁹ I, Ah,¹⁶² Lord¹³⁶ GOD!³⁰⁶⁹ surely⁴⁰³ thou hast greatly deceived^{5377 5377} this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ and Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye shall have¹⁹⁶¹ peace;⁷⁹⁶⁵ whereas the sword²⁷¹⁹ reacheth⁵⁰⁶⁰ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the soul.⁵³¹⁵

11  At that¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ shall it be said⁵⁵⁹ to this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ and to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ A dry⁶⁷⁰³ wind⁷³⁰⁷ of the high places⁸²⁰⁵ in the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ toward the daughter¹³²³ of my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ to fan,²²¹⁹ nor³⁸⁰⁸ to cleanse,¹³⁰⁵

12  Even a full⁴³⁹² wind⁷³⁰⁷ from those^{4480 428} places shall come⁹³⁵ unto me: now⁶²⁵⁸ also¹⁵⁷¹ will I⁵⁸⁹ give¹⁶⁹⁶ sentence⁴⁹⁴¹ against them.

13  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he shall come up⁵⁹²⁷ as clouds,⁶⁰⁵¹ and his chariots⁴⁸¹⁸ shall be as a whirlwind:⁵⁴⁹² his horses⁵⁴⁸³ are swifter⁷⁰⁴³ than eagles.^{4480 5404} Woe¹⁸⁸ unto us! for³⁵⁸⁸ we are spoiled.⁷⁷⁰³

14  O Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ wash³⁵²⁶ thine heart³⁸²⁰ from wickedness,^{4480 7451} that⁴⁶¹⁶ thou mayest be saved.³⁴⁶⁷ How long^{5704 4970} shall thy vain²⁰⁵ thoughts⁴²⁸⁴ lodge³⁸⁸⁵ within⁷¹³⁰ thee?

15  For³⁵⁸⁸ a voice⁶⁹⁶³ declareth⁵⁰⁴⁶ from Dan,^{4480 1835} and publisheth⁸⁰⁸⁵ affliction²⁰⁵ from mount^{4480 2022} Ephraim.⁶⁶⁹

16  Make ye mention²¹⁴² to the nations;¹⁴⁷¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ publish⁸⁰⁸⁵ against⁵⁹²¹ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ that watchers⁵³⁴¹ come⁹³⁵ from a far⁴⁸⁰¹ country,^{4480 776} and give out⁵⁴¹⁴ their voice⁶⁹⁶³ against⁵⁹²¹ the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah.³⁰⁶³

17  As keepers⁸¹⁰⁴ of a field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ are¹⁹⁶¹ they against⁵⁹²¹ her round about;^{4480 5439} because³⁵⁸⁸ she hath been rebellious⁴⁷⁸⁴ against me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

18  Thy way¹⁸⁷⁰ and thy doings⁴⁶¹¹ have procured⁶²¹³ these⁴²⁸ things unto thee; this²⁰⁶³ is thy wickedness,⁷⁴⁵¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ it is bitter,⁴⁷⁵¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ it reacheth⁵⁰⁶⁰ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ thine heart.³⁸²⁰

19  My bowels,⁴⁵⁷⁸ my bowels!⁴⁵⁷⁸ I am pained³¹⁷⁶ at my very⁷⁰²³ heart;³⁸²⁰ my heart³⁸²⁰ maketh a noise¹⁹⁹³ in me; I cannot³⁸⁰⁸ hold my peace,²⁷⁹⁰ because³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast heard,⁸⁰⁸⁵ O my soul,⁵³¹⁵ the sound⁶⁹⁶³ of the trumpet,⁷⁷⁸² the alarm⁸⁶⁴³ of war.⁴⁴²¹

20  Destruction⁷⁶⁶⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ destruction⁷⁶⁶⁷ is cried;⁷¹²¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ the whole³⁶⁰⁵ land⁷⁷⁶ is spoiled:⁷⁷⁰³ suddenly⁶⁵⁹⁷ are my tents¹⁶⁸ spoiled,⁷⁷⁰³ and my curtains³⁴⁰⁷ in a moment.⁷²⁸¹

21  How long^{5704 4970} shall I see⁷²⁰⁰ the standard,⁵²⁵¹ and hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the sound⁶⁹⁶³ of the trumpet?⁷⁷⁸²

22  For³⁵⁸⁸ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ is foolish,¹⁹¹ they have not³⁸⁰⁸ known³⁰⁴⁵ me; they¹⁹⁹² are sottish⁵⁵³⁰ children,¹¹²¹ and they¹⁹⁹² have none³⁸⁰⁸ understanding:⁹⁹⁵ they¹⁹⁹² are wise²⁴⁵⁰ to do evil,⁷⁴⁸⁹ but to do good³¹⁹⁰ they have no³⁸⁰⁸ knowledge.³⁰⁴⁵

23  I beheld^{7200 853} the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ it was without form,⁸⁴¹⁴ and void;⁹²² and the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and they had no³⁶⁹ light.²¹⁶

24  I beheld⁷²⁰⁰ the mountains,²⁰²² and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ they trembled,⁷⁴⁹³ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the hills¹³⁸⁹ moved lightly.⁷⁰⁴³

25  I beheld,⁷²⁰⁰ and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ there was no³⁶⁹ man,¹²⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the birds⁵⁷⁷⁵ of the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ were fled.⁵⁰⁷⁴

26  I beheld,⁷²⁰⁰ and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ the fruitful place³⁷⁵⁹ was a wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the cities⁵⁸⁹² thereof were broken down⁵⁴²² at the presence^{4480 6440} of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and by^{4480 6440} his fierce²⁷⁴⁰ anger.⁶³⁹

27  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ The whole³⁶⁰⁵ land⁷⁷⁶ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ desolate;⁸⁰⁷⁷ yet will I not³⁸⁰⁸ make⁶²¹³ a full end.³⁶¹⁷

28  For⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁶³ shall the earth⁷⁷⁶ mourn,⁵⁶ and the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ above^{4480 4605} be black:⁶⁹³⁷ because^{5921 3588} I have spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ it, I have purposed²¹⁶¹ it, and will not³⁸⁰⁸ repent,⁵¹⁶² neither³⁸⁰⁸ will I turn back⁷⁷²⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ it.

29  The whole³⁶⁰⁵ city⁵⁸⁹² shall flee¹²⁷² for the noise^{4480 6963} of the horsemen⁶⁵⁷¹ and bowmen;^{7411 7198} they shall go⁹³⁵ into thickets,⁵⁶⁴⁵ and climb up⁵⁹²⁷ upon the rocks:³⁷¹⁰ every³⁶⁰⁵ city⁵⁸⁹² shall be forsaken,⁵⁸⁰⁰ and not³⁶⁹ a man³⁷⁶ dwell³⁴²⁷ therein.²⁰⁰⁴

30  And when thou⁸⁵⁹ art spoiled,⁷⁷⁰³ what⁴¹⁰⁰ wilt thou do?⁶²¹³ Though³⁵⁸⁸ thou clothest³⁸⁴⁷ thyself with crimson,⁸¹⁴⁴ though³⁵⁸⁸ thou deckest⁵⁷¹⁰ thee with ornaments⁵⁷¹⁶ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ though³⁵⁸⁸ thou rentest⁷¹⁶⁷ thy face⁵⁸⁶⁹ with painting,⁶³²⁰ in vain⁷⁷²³ shalt thou make thyself fair;³³⁰² thy lovers⁵⁶⁸⁹ will despise³⁹⁸⁸ thee, they will seek¹²⁴⁵ thy life.⁵³¹⁵

31  For³⁵⁸⁸ I have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ a voice⁶⁹⁶³ as of a woman in travail,²⁴⁷⁰ and the anguish⁶⁸⁶⁹ as of her that bringeth forth her first child,¹⁰⁶⁹ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the daughter¹³²³ of Zion,⁶⁷²⁶ that bewaileth herself,³³⁰⁶ that spreadeth⁶⁵⁶⁶ her hands,³⁷⁰⁹ saying, Woe¹⁸⁸ is me now!⁴⁹⁹⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ my soul⁵³¹⁵ is wearied⁵⁸⁸⁸ because of murderers.²⁰²⁶

1 ἐὰν ἐπιστραφῇ Ισραηλ λέγει κύριος πρός με ἐπιστραφήσεται ἐὰν περιέλῃ τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτοῦ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου μου εὐλαβηθῇ

2 καὶ ὀμόσῃ ζῇ κύριος μετὰ ἀληθείας καὶ ἐν κρίσει καὶ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ εὐλογήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ ἔθνη καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ αἰνέσουσιν τῷ θεῷ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

3 ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος τοῖς ἀνδράσιν Ιουδα καὶ τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ιερουσαλημ νεώσατε ἑαυτοῖς νεώματα καὶ μὴ σπείρητε ἐπ᾽ ἀκάνθαις

4 περιτμήθητε τῷ θεῷ ὑμῶν καὶ περιτέμεσθε τὴν σκληροκαρδίαν ὑμῶν ἄνδρες Ιουδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ιερουσαλημ μὴ ἐξέλθῃ ὡς πῦρ ὁ θυμός μου καὶ ἐκκαυθήσεται καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ σβέσων ἀπὸ προσώπου πονηρίας ἐπιτηδευμάτων ὑμῶν

5 ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τῷ Ιουδα καὶ ἀκουσθήτω ἐν Ιερουσαλημ εἴπατε σημάνατε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς σάλπιγγι καὶ κεκράξατε μέγα εἴπατε συνάχθητε καὶ εἰσέλθωμεν εἰς τὰς πόλεις τὰς τειχήρεις

6 ἀναλαβόντες φεύγετε εἰς Σιων σπεύσατε μὴ στῆτε ὅτι κακὰ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ συντριβὴν μεγάλην

7 ἀνέβη λέων ἐκ τῆς μάνδρας αὐτοῦ ἐξολεθρεύων ἔθνη ἐξῆρεν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ τοῦ θεῖναι τὴν γῆν εἰς ἐρήμωσιν καὶ πόλεις καθαιρεθήσονται παρὰ τὸ μὴ κατοικεῖσθαι αὐτάς

8 ἐπὶ τούτοις περιζώσασθε σάκκους καὶ κόπτεσθε καὶ ἀλαλάξατε διότι οὐκ ἀπεστράφη ὁ θυμὸς κυρίου ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν

9 καὶ ἔσται ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ λέγει κύριος ἀπολεῖται ἡ καρδία τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἡ καρδία τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐκστήσονται καὶ οἱ προφῆται θαυμάσονται

10 καὶ εἶπα ὦ δέσποτα κύριε ἄρα γε ἀπατῶν ἠπάτησας τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον καὶ τὴν Ιερουσαλημ λέγων εἰρήνη ἔσται ὑμῖν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἥψατο ἡ μάχαιρα ἕως τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτῶν

11 ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἐροῦσιν τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ καὶ τῇ Ιερουσαλημ πνεῦμα πλανήσεως ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ὁδὸς τῆς θυγατρὸς τοῦ λαοῦ μου οὐκ εἰς καθαρὸν οὐδ᾽ εἰς ἅγιον

12 πνεῦμα πληρώσεως ἥξει μοι νῦν δὲ ἐγὼ λαλῶ κρίματα πρὸς αὐτούς

13 ἰδοὺ ὡς νεφέλη ἀναβήσεται καὶ ὡς καταιγὶς τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ κουφότεροι ἀετῶν οἱ ἵπποι αὐτοῦ οὐαὶ ἡμῖν ὅτι ταλαιπωροῦμεν

14 ἀπόπλυνε ἀπὸ κακίας τὴν καρδίαν σου Ιερουσαλημ ἵνα σωθῇς ἕως πότε ὑπάρξουσιν ἐν σοὶ διαλογισμοὶ πόνων σου

15 διότι φωνὴ ἀναγγέλλοντος ἐκ Δαν ἥξει καὶ ἀκουσθήσεται πόνος ἐξ ὄρους Εφραιμ

16 ἀναμνήσατε ἔθνη ἰδοὺ ἥκασιν ἀναγγείλατε ἐν Ιερουσαλημ συστροφαὶ ἔρχονται ἐκ γῆς μακρόθεν καὶ ἔδωκαν ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις Ιουδα φωνὴν αὐτῶν

17 ὡς φυλάσσοντες ἀγρὸν ἐγένοντο ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν κύκλῳ ὅτι ἐμοῦ ἠμέλησας λέγει κύριος

18 αἱ ὁδοί σου καὶ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματά σου ἐποίησαν ταῦτά σοι αὕτη ἡ κακία σου ὅτι πικρά ὅτι ἥψατο ἕως τῆς καρδίας σου

19 τὴν κοιλίαν μου τὴν κοιλίαν μου ἀλγῶ καὶ τὰ αἰσθητήρια τῆς καρδίας μου μαιμάσσει ἡ ψυχή μου σπαράσσεται ἡ καρδία μου οὐ σιωπήσομαι ὅτι φωνὴν σάλπιγγος ἤκουσεν ἡ ψυχή μου κραυγὴν πολέμου

20 καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν συντριμμὸν ἐπικαλεῖται ὅτι τεταλαιπώρηκεν πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἄφνω τεταλαιπώρηκεν ἡ σκηνή διεσπάσθησαν αἱ δέρρεις μου

21 ἕως πότε ὄψομαι φεύγοντας ἀκούων φωνὴν σαλπίγγων

22 διότι οἱ ἡγούμενοι τοῦ λαοῦ μου ἐμὲ οὐκ ᾔδεισαν υἱοὶ ἄφρονές εἰσιν καὶ οὐ συνετοί σοφοί εἰσιν τοῦ κακοποιῆσαι τὸ δὲ καλῶς ποιῆσαι οὐκ ἐπέγνωσαν

23 ἐπέβλεψα ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐθέν καὶ εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν καὶ οὐκ ἦν τὰ φῶτα αὐτοῦ

24 εἶδον τὰ ὄρη καὶ ἦν τρέμοντα καὶ πάντας τοὺς βουνοὺς ταρασσομένους

25 ἐπέβλεψα καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν ἄνθρωπος καὶ πάντα τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐπτοεῖτο

26 εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ Κάρμηλος ἔρημος καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ πόλεις ἐμπεπυρισμέναι πυρὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου κυρίου καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου ὀργῆς θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ ἠφανίσθησαν

27 τάδε λέγει κύριος ἔρημος ἔσται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ συντέλειαν δὲ οὐ μὴ ποιήσω

28 ἐπὶ τούτοις πενθείτω ἡ γῆ καὶ συσκοτασάτω ὁ οὐρανὸς ἄνωθεν διότι ἐλάλησα καὶ οὐ μετανοήσω ὥρμησα καὶ οὐκ ἀποστρέψω ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς

29 ἀπὸ φωνῆς ἱππέως καὶ ἐντεταμένου τόξου ἀνεχώρησεν πᾶσα χώρα εἰσέδυσαν εἰς τὰ σπήλαια καὶ εἰς τὰ ἄλση ἐκρύβησαν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς πέτρας ἀνέβησαν πᾶσα πόλις ἐγκατελείφθη οὐ κατοικεῖ ἐν αὐταῖς ἄνθρωπος

30 καὶ σὺ τί ποιήσεις ἐὰν περιβάλῃ κόκκινον καὶ κοσμήσῃ κόσμῳ χρυσῷ καὶ ἐὰν ἐγχρίσῃ στίβι τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου εἰς μάτην ὁ ὡραϊσμός σου ἀπώσαντό σε οἱ ἐρασταί σου τὴν ψυχήν σου ζητοῦσιν

31 ὅτι φωνὴν ὡς ὠδινούσης ἤκουσα τοῦ στεναγμοῦ σου ὡς πρωτοτοκούσης φωνὴ θυγατρὸς Σιων ἐκλυθήσεται καὶ παρήσει τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῆς οἴμμοι ἐγώ ὅτι ἐκλείπει ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀνῃρημένοις

1 [Si reverteris, Israël, ait Dominus,
ad me convertere:
si abstuleris offendicula tua a facie mea,
non commoveberis.

2 Et jurabis: Vivit Dominus in veritate, et in judicio, et in justitia:
et benedicent eum gentes,
ipsumque laudabunt.

3 Hæc enim dicit Dominus viro Juda et Jerusalem:
Novate vobis novale,
et nolite serere super spinas.

4 Circumcidimini Domino,
et auferte præputia cordium vestrorum,
viri Juda, et habitatores Jerusalem:
ne forte egrediatur ut ignis indignatio mea,
et succendatur, et non sit qui extinguat,
propter malitiam cogitationum vestrarum.]

5 [Annuntiate in Juda, et in Jerusalem auditum facite:
loquimini, et canite tuba in terra,
clamate fortiter, et dicite:
Congregamini, et ingrediamur civitates munitas.

6 Levate signum in Sion;
confortamini, nolite stare:
quia malum ego adduco ab aquilone,
et contritionem magnam.

7 Ascendit leo de cubili suo,
et prædo gentium se levavit:
egressus est de loco suo ut ponat terram tuam in solitudinem:
civitates tuæ vastabuntur,
remanentes absque habitatore.

8 Super hoc accingite vos ciliciis;
plangite, et ululate:
quia non est aversa ira furoris Domini a nobis.

9 Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus:
peribit cor regis, et cor principum,
et obstupescent sacerdotes,
et prophetæ consternabuntur.]

10 Et dixi: [Heu! heu! heu! Domine Deus,
ergone decepisti populum istum et Jerusalem,
dicens: Pax erit vobis:
et ecce pervenit gladius usque ad animam?]

11 [In tempore illo dicetur populo huic et Jerusalem:
Ventus urens in viis quæ sunt in deserto viæ filiæ populi mei,
non ad ventilandum et ad purgandum.

12 Spiritus plenus ex his veniet mihi,
et nunc ego loquar judicia mea cum eis.

13 Ecce quasi nubes ascendet,
et quasi tempestas currus ejus:
velociores aquilis equi illius.
Væ nobis, quoniam vastati sumus.

14 Lava a malitia cor tuum, Jerusalem, ut salva fias:
usquequo morabuntur in te cogitationes noxiæ?

15 Vox enim annuntiantis a Dan,
et notum facientis idolum de monte Ephraim.

16 Dicite gentibus: Ecce auditum est in Jerusalem
custodes venire de terra longinqua,
et dare super civitates Juda vocem suam:

17 quasi custodes agrorum facti sunt super eam in gyro,
quia me ad iracundiam provocavit, dicit Dominus.

18 Viæ tuæ et cogitationes tuæ fecerunt hæc tibi:
ista malitia tua, quia amara,
quia tetigit cor tuum.

19 Ventrem meum, ventrem meum doleo;
sensus cordis mei turbati sunt in me.
Non tacebo, quoniam vocem buccinæ audivit anima mea,
clamorem prælii.

20 Contritio super contritionem vocata est,
et vastata est omnis terra:
repente vastata sunt tabernacula mea;
subito pelles meæ.

21 Usquequo videbo fugientem;
audiam vocem buccinæ?

22 Quia stultus populus meus me non cognovit:
filii insipientes sunt et vecordes:
sapientes sunt ut faciant mala,
bene autem facere nescierunt.

23 Aspexi terram, et ecce vacua erat et nihili;
et cælos, et non erat lux in eis.

24 Vidi montes, et ecce movebantur:
et omnes colles conturbati sunt.

25 Intuitus sum, et non erat homo:
et omne volatile cæli recessit.

26 Aspexi, et ecce Carmelus desertus,
et omnes urbes ejus destructæ sunt a facie Domini,
et a facie iræ furoris ejus.

27 Hæc enim dicit Dominus:
Deserta erit omnis terra,
sed tamen consummationem non faciam.

28 Lugebit terra, et mœrebunt cæli desuper,
eo quod locutus sum.
Cogitavi, et non pœnituit me,
nec aversus sum ab eo.

29 A voce equitis et mittentis sagittam fugit omnis civitas:
ingressi sunt ardua, et ascenderunt rupes:
universæ urbes derelictæ sunt,
et non habitat in eis homo.

30 Tu autem vastata, quid facies?
cum vestieris te coccino,
cum ornata fueris monili aureo,
et pinxeris stibio oculos tuos,
frustra componeris:
contempserunt te amatores tui;
animam tuam quærent.

31 Vocem enim quasi parturientis audivi,
angustias ut puerperæ:
vox filiæ Sion intermorientis,
expandentisque manus suas:
Væ mihi, quia defecit anima mea propter interfectos!]
