Jeremiah 5

KJV

1  Run ye to and fro⁷⁷⁵¹ through the streets²³⁵¹ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and see⁷²⁰⁰ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ and know,³⁰⁴⁵ and seek¹²⁴⁵ in the broad places⁷³³⁹ thereof, if⁵¹⁸ ye can find⁴⁶⁷² a man,³⁷⁶ if⁵¹⁸ there be³⁴²⁶ any that executeth⁶²¹³ judgment,⁴⁹⁴¹ that seeketh¹²⁴⁵ the truth;⁵³⁰ and I will pardon⁵⁵⁴⁵ it.

2  And though⁵¹⁸ they say,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth;²⁴¹⁶ surely³⁶⁵¹ they swear⁷⁶⁵⁰ falsely.⁸²⁶⁷

3  O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ are not³⁸⁰⁸ thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ upon the truth?⁵³⁰ thou hast stricken⁵²²¹ them, but they have not³⁸⁰⁸ grieved;²³⁴² thou hast consumed³⁶¹⁵ them, but they have refused³⁹⁸⁵ to receive³⁹⁴⁷ correction:⁴¹⁴⁸ they have made their faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ harder²³⁸⁸ than a rock;^{4480 5553} they have refused³⁹⁸⁵ to return.⁷⁷²⁵

4  Therefore I⁵⁸⁹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Surely³⁸⁹ these¹⁹⁹² are poor;¹⁸⁰⁰ they are foolish:²⁹⁷³ for³⁵⁸⁸ they know³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ nor the judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ of their God.⁴³⁰

5  I will get¹⁹⁸⁰ me unto⁴¹³ the great men,¹⁴¹⁹ and will speak unto¹⁶⁹⁶ them; for³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² have known³⁰⁴⁵ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ of their God:⁴³⁰ but³⁸⁹ these¹⁹⁹² have altogether³¹⁶² broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ the yoke,⁵⁹²³ and burst⁵⁴²³ the bonds.⁴¹⁴⁷

6  Wherefore^{5921 3651} a lion⁷³⁸ out of the forest^{4480 3293} shall slay⁵²²¹ them, and a wolf²⁰⁶¹ of the evenings⁶¹⁶⁰ shall spoil⁷⁷⁰³ them, a leopard⁵²⁴⁶ shall watch⁸²⁴⁵ over⁵⁹²¹ their cities:⁵⁸⁹² every one³⁶⁰⁵ that goeth out³³¹⁸ thence^{4480 2007} shall be torn in pieces:²⁹⁶³ because³⁵⁸⁸ their transgressions⁶⁵⁸⁸ are many,⁷²³¹ and their backslidings⁴⁸⁷⁸ are increased.⁶¹⁰⁵

7  How³³⁵ shall I pardon⁵⁵⁴⁵ thee for this?²⁰⁶³ thy children¹¹²¹ have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and sworn⁷⁶⁵⁰ by them that are no³⁸⁰⁸ gods:⁴³⁰ when I had fed them to the full,^{7646 853} they then committed adultery,⁵⁰⁰³ and assembled themselves¹⁴¹³ by troops in the harlots²¹⁸¹ houses.¹⁰⁰⁴

8  They were¹⁹⁶¹ as fed²¹⁰⁹ horses⁵⁴⁸³ in the morning:⁷⁹⁰⁴ every one³⁷⁶ neighed⁶⁶⁷⁰ after⁴¹³ his neighbor's⁷⁴⁵³ wife.⁸⁰²

9  Shall I not³⁸⁰⁸ visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ for⁵⁹²¹ these⁴²⁸ things? saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and⁵¹⁸ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ my soul⁵³¹⁵ be avenged⁵³⁵⁸ on such⁸³⁴ a nation¹⁴⁷¹ as this?²⁰⁸⁸

10  Go ye up⁵⁹²⁷ upon her walls,⁸²⁸⁴ and destroy;⁷⁸⁴³ but make⁶²¹³ not⁴⁰⁸ a full end:³⁶¹⁷ take away⁵⁴⁹³ her battlements;⁵¹⁸⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² are not³⁸⁰⁸ the LORD's.³⁰⁶⁸

11  For³⁵⁸⁸ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah³⁰⁶³ have dealt very treacherously^{898 898} against me, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

12  They have belied³⁵⁸⁴ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ It is not³⁸⁰⁸ he;¹⁹³¹ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall evil⁷⁴⁵¹ come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ us; neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall we see⁷²⁰⁰ sword²⁷¹⁹ nor famine:⁷⁴⁵⁸

13  And the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ shall become¹⁹⁶¹ wind,⁷³⁰⁷ and the word¹⁶⁹⁹ is not³⁶⁹ in them: thus³⁵⁴¹ shall it be done⁶²¹³ unto them.

14  Wherefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ Because³²⁸² ye speak^{1696 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ word,¹⁶⁹⁷ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will make⁵⁴¹⁴ my words¹⁶⁹⁷ in thy mouth⁶³¹⁰ fire,⁷⁸⁴ and this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and it shall devour³⁹⁸ them.

15  Lo,²⁰⁰⁹ I will bring⁹³⁵ a nation¹⁴⁷¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ you from far,^{4480 4801} O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ it¹⁹³¹ is a mighty³⁸⁶ nation,¹⁴⁷¹ it¹⁹³¹ is an ancient^{4480 5769} nation,¹⁴⁷¹ a nation¹⁴⁷¹ whose language³⁹⁵⁶ thou knowest³⁰⁴⁵ not,³⁸⁰⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ understandest⁸⁰⁸⁵ what⁴¹⁰⁰ they say.¹⁶⁹⁶

16  Their quiver⁸²⁷ is as an open⁶⁶⁰⁵ sepulcher,⁶⁹¹³ they are all³⁶⁰⁵ mighty men.¹³⁶⁸

17  And they shall eat up³⁹⁸ thine harvest,⁷¹⁰⁵ and thy bread,³⁸⁹⁹ which thy sons¹¹²¹ and thy daughters¹³²³ should eat:³⁹⁸ they shall eat up³⁹⁸ thy flocks⁶⁶²⁹ and thine herds:¹²⁴¹ they shall eat up³⁹⁸ thy vines¹⁶¹² and thy fig trees:⁸³⁸⁴ they shall impoverish⁷⁵⁶⁷ thy fenced⁴⁰¹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² wherein⁸³⁴ thou⁸⁵⁹ trustedst,⁹⁸² with the sword.²⁷¹⁹

18  Nevertheless¹⁵⁷¹ in those¹⁹⁹² days,³¹¹⁷ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ make⁶²¹³ a full end³⁶¹⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ you.

19  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when³⁵⁸⁸ ye shall say,⁵⁵⁹ Wherefore^{8478 4100} doeth⁶²¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God^{430 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ things unto us? then shalt thou answer^{559 413} them, Like⁸³⁴ as ye have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ strange⁵²³⁶ gods⁴³⁰ in your land,⁷⁷⁶ so³⁶⁵¹ shall ye serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ strangers²¹¹⁴ in a land⁷⁷⁶ that is not³⁸⁰⁸ yours.

20  Declare⁵⁰⁴⁶ this²⁰⁶³ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and publish⁸⁰⁸⁵ it in Judah,³⁰⁶³ saying,⁵⁵⁹

21  Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ now⁴⁹⁹⁴ this,²⁰⁶³ O foolish⁵⁵³⁰ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and without³⁶⁹ understanding;³⁸²⁰ which have eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and see⁷²⁰⁰ not;³⁸⁰⁸ which have ears,²⁴¹ and hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ not:³⁸⁰⁸

22  Fear³³⁷² ye not³⁸⁰⁸ me? saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ will ye not³⁸⁰⁸ tremble²³⁴² at my presence,^{4480 6440} which⁸³⁴ have placed⁷⁷⁶⁰ the sand²³⁴⁴ for the bound¹³⁶⁶ of the sea³²²⁰ by a perpetual⁵⁷⁶⁹ decree,²⁷⁰⁶ that it cannot³⁸⁰⁸ pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ it: and though the waves¹⁵³⁰ thereof toss themselves,¹⁶⁰⁷ yet can they not³⁸⁰⁸ prevail;³²⁰¹ though they roar,¹⁹⁹³ yet can they not³⁸⁰⁸ pass over⁵⁶⁷⁴ it?

23  But this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ hath¹⁹⁶¹ a revolting⁵⁶³⁷ and a rebellious⁴⁷⁸⁴ heart;³⁸²⁰ they are revolted⁵⁴⁹³ and gone.¹⁹⁸⁰

24  Neither³⁸⁰⁸ say⁵⁵⁹ they in their heart,³⁸²⁴ Let us now⁴⁹⁹⁴ fear^{3372 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ that giveth⁵⁴¹⁴ rain,¹⁶⁵³ both the former³¹³⁸ and the latter,⁴⁴⁵⁶ in his season:⁶²⁵⁶ he reserveth⁸¹⁰⁴ unto us the appointed²⁷⁰⁸ weeks⁷⁶²⁰ of the harvest.⁷¹⁰⁵

25  Your iniquities⁵⁷⁷¹ have turned away⁵¹⁸⁶ these⁴²⁸ things, and your sins²⁴⁰³ have withheld⁴⁵¹³ good²⁸⁹⁶ things from⁴⁴⁸⁰ you.

26  For³⁵⁸⁸ among my people⁵⁹⁷¹ are found⁴⁶⁷² wicked⁷⁵⁶³ men: they lay wait,⁷⁷⁸⁹ as he that setteth⁷⁹¹⁸ snares;³³⁵³ they set⁵³²⁴ a trap,⁴⁸⁸⁹ they catch³⁹²⁰ men.³⁷⁶

27  As a cage³⁶¹⁹ is full⁴³⁹² of birds,⁵⁷⁷⁵ so³⁶⁵¹ are their houses¹⁰⁰⁴ full⁴³⁹² of deceit:⁴⁸²⁰ therefore^{5921 3651} they are become great,¹⁴³¹ and waxen rich.⁶²³⁸

28  They are waxen fat,⁸⁰⁸⁰ they shine:⁶²⁴⁵ yea,¹⁵⁷¹ they overpass⁵⁶⁷⁴ the deeds¹⁶⁹⁷ of the wicked:⁷⁴⁵¹ they judge¹⁷⁷⁷ not³⁸⁰⁸ the cause,¹⁷⁷⁹ the cause¹⁷⁷⁹ of the fatherless,³⁴⁹⁰ yet they prosper;⁶⁷⁴³ and the right⁴⁹⁴¹ of the needy³⁴ do they not³⁸⁰⁸ judge.⁸¹⁹⁹

29  Shall I not³⁸⁰⁸ visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ for⁵⁹²¹ these⁴²⁸ things? saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ my soul⁵³¹⁵ be avenged⁵³⁵⁸ on such⁸³⁴ a nation¹⁴⁷¹ as this?²⁰⁸⁸

30  A wonderful⁸⁰⁴⁷ and horrible thing⁸¹⁸⁶ is committed¹⁹⁶¹ in the land;⁷⁷⁶

31  The prophets⁵⁰³⁰ prophesy⁵⁰¹² falsely,⁸²⁶⁷ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ bear rule⁷²⁸⁷ by⁵⁹²¹ their means;³⁰²⁷ and my people⁵⁹⁷¹ love¹⁵⁷ to have it so:³⁶⁵¹ and what⁴¹⁰⁰ will ye do⁶²¹³ in the end³¹⁹ thereof?

1 περιδράμετε ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἴδετε καὶ γνῶτε καὶ ζητήσατε ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις αὐτῆς ἐὰν εὕρητε ἄνδρα εἰ ἔστιν ποιῶν κρίμα καὶ ζητῶν πίστιν καὶ ἵλεως ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς λέγει κύριος

2 ζῇ κύριος λέγουσιν διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐπὶ ψεύδεσιν ὀμνύουσιν

3 κύριε οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου εἰς πίστιν ἐμαστίγωσας αὐτούς καὶ οὐκ ἐπόνεσαν συνετέλεσας αὐτούς καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν δέξασθαι παιδείαν ἐστερέωσαν τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ πέτραν καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν ἐπιστραφῆναι

4 καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπα ἴσως πτωχοί εἰσιν διότι οὐκ ἐδυνάσθησαν ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὁδὸν κυρίου καὶ κρίσιν θεοῦ

5 πορεύσομαι πρὸς τοὺς ἁδροὺς καὶ λαλήσω αὐτοῖς ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἐπέγνωσαν ὁδὸν κυρίου καὶ κρίσιν θεοῦ καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁμοθυμαδὸν συνέτριψαν ζυγόν διέρρηξαν δεσμούς

6 διὰ τοῦτο ἔπαισεν αὐτοὺς λέων ἐκ τοῦ δρυμοῦ καὶ λύκος ἕως τῶν οἰκιῶν ὠλέθρευσεν αὐτούς καὶ πάρδαλις ἐγρηγόρησεν ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν πάντες οἱ ἐκπορευόμενοι ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν θηρευθήσονται ὅτι ἐπλήθυναν ἀσεβείας αὐτῶν ἴσχυσαν ἐν ταῖς ἀποστροφαῖς αὐτῶν

7 ποίᾳ τούτων ἵλεως γένωμαί σοι οἱ υἱοί σου ἐγκατέλιπόν με καὶ ὤμνυον ἐν τοῖς οὐκ οὖσιν θεοῖς καὶ ἐχόρτασα αὐτούς καὶ ἐμοιχῶντο καὶ ἐν οἴκοις πορνῶν κατέλυον

8 ἵπποι θηλυμανεῖς ἐγενήθησαν ἕκαστος ἐπὶ τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἐχρεμέτιζον

9 μὴ ἐπὶ τούτοις οὐκ ἐπισκέψομαι λέγει κύριος ἢ ἐν ἔθνει τοιούτῳ οὐκ ἐκδικήσει ἡ ψυχή μου

10 ἀνάβητε ἐπὶ τοὺς προμαχῶνας αὐτῆς καὶ κατασκάψατε συντέλειαν δὲ μὴ ποιήσητε ὑπολίπεσθε τὰ ὑποστηρίγματα αὐτῆς ὅτι τοῦ κυρίου εἰσίν

11 ὅτι ἀθετῶν ἠθέτησεν εἰς ἐμέ λέγει κύριος οἶκος Ισραηλ καὶ οἶκος Ιουδα

12 ἐψεύσαντο τῷ κυρίῳ ἑαυτῶν καὶ εἶπαν οὐκ ἔστιν ταῦτα οὐχ ἥξει ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς κακά καὶ μάχαιραν καὶ λιμὸν οὐκ ὀψόμεθα

13 οἱ προφῆται ἡμῶν ἦσαν εἰς ἄνεμον καὶ λόγος κυρίου οὐχ ὑπῆρχεν ἐν αὐτοῖς οὕτως ἔσται αὐτοῖς

14 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ἐλαλήσατε τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δέδωκα τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὸ στόμα σου πῦρ καὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ξύλα καὶ καταφάγεται αὐτούς

15 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ἔθνος πόρρωθεν οἶκος Ισραηλ λέγει κύριος ἔθνος οὗ οὐκ ἀκούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ

16 πάντες ἰσχυροὶ

17 καὶ κατέδονται τὸν θερισμὸν ὑμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους ὑμῶν καὶ κατέδονται τοὺς υἱοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν καὶ κατέδονται τὰ πρόβατα ὑμῶν καὶ τοὺς μόσχους ὑμῶν καὶ κατέδονται τοὺς ἀμπελῶνας ὑμῶν καὶ τοὺς συκῶνας ὑμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἐλαιῶνας ὑμῶν καὶ ἀλοήσουσιν τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυρὰς ὑμῶν ἐφ᾽ αἷς ὑμεῖς πεποίθατε ἐπ᾽ αὐταῖς ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ

18 καὶ ἔσται ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις λέγει κύριος ὁ θεός σου οὐ μὴ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς εἰς συντέλειαν

19 καὶ ἔσται ὅταν εἴπητε τίνος ἕνεκεν ἐποίησεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἡμῖν ἅπαντα ταῦτα καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ἐδουλεύσατε θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις ἐν τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν οὕτως δουλεύσετε ἀλλοτρίοις ἐν γῇ οὐχ ὑμῶν

20 ἀναγγείλατε ταῦτα εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ιακωβ καὶ ἀκουσθήτω ἐν τῷ Ιουδα

21 ἀκούσατε δὴ ταῦτα λαὸς μωρὸς καὶ ἀκάρδιος ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ βλέπουσιν ὦτα αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐκ ἀκούουσιν

22 μὴ ἐμὲ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε λέγει κύριος ἢ ἀπὸ προσώπου μου οὐκ εὐλαβηθήσεσθε τὸν τάξαντα ἄμμον ὅριον τῇ θαλάσσῃ πρόσταγμα αἰώνιον καὶ οὐχ ὑπερβήσεται αὐτό καὶ ταραχθήσεται καὶ οὐ δυνήσεται καὶ ἠχήσουσιν τὰ κύματα αὐτῆς καὶ οὐχ ὑπερβήσεται αὐτό

23 τῷ δὲ λαῷ τούτῳ ἐγενήθη καρδία ἀνήκοος καὶ ἀπειθής καὶ ἐξέκλιναν καὶ ἀπήλθοσαν

24 καὶ οὐκ εἶπον ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν φοβηθῶμεν δὴ κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν τὸν διδόντα ἡμῖν ὑετὸν πρόιμον καὶ ὄψιμον κατὰ καιρὸν πληρώσεως προστάγματος θερισμοῦ καὶ ἐφύλαξεν ἡμῖν

25 αἱ ἀνομίαι ὑμῶν ἐξέκλιναν ταῦτα καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ὑμῶν ἀπέστησαν τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν

26 ὅτι εὑρέθησαν ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου ἀσεβεῖς καὶ παγίδας ἔστησαν διαφθεῖραι ἄνδρας καὶ συνελαμβάνοσαν

27 ὡς παγὶς ἐφεσταμένη πλήρης πετεινῶν οὕτως οἱ οἶκοι αὐτῶν πλήρεις δόλου διὰ τοῦτο ἐμεγαλύνθησαν καὶ ἐπλούτησαν

28 καὶ παρέβησαν κρίσιν οὐκ ἔκριναν κρίσιν ὀρφανοῦ καὶ κρίσιν χήρας οὐκ ἐκρίνοσαν

29 μὴ ἐπὶ τούτοις οὐκ ἐπισκέψομαι λέγει κύριος ἢ ἐν ἔθνει τῷ τοιούτῳ οὐκ ἐκδικήσει ἡ ψυχή μου

30 ἔκστασις καὶ φρικτὰ ἐγενήθη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

31 οἱ προφῆται προφητεύουσιν ἄδικα καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπεκρότησαν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν καὶ ὁ λαός μου ἠγάπησεν οὕτως καὶ τί ποιήσετε εἰς τὰ μετὰ ταῦτα

Vul

1 [Circuite vias Jerusalem,
et aspicite, et considerate,
et quærite in plateis ejus,
an inveniatis virum facientem judicium,
et quærentem fidem:
et propitius ero ei.

2 Quod si etiam: Vivit Dominus, dixerint,
et hoc falso jurabunt.

3 Domine, oculi tui respiciunt fidem:
percussisti eos, et non doluerunt;
attrivisti eos, et renuerunt accipere disciplinam:
induraverunt facies suas supra petram,
et noluerunt reverti.

4 Ego autem dixi: Forsitan pauperes sunt et stulti,
ignorantes viam Domini,
judicium Dei sui.

5 Ibo igitur ad optimates, et loquar eis:
ipsi enim cognoverunt viam Domini,
judicium Dei sui:
et ecce magis hi simul confregerunt jugum;
ruperunt vincula.

6 Idcirco percussit eos leo de silva;
lupus ad vesperam vastavit eos:
pardus vigilans super civitates eorum:
omnis qui egressus fuerit ex eis capietur:
quia multiplicatæ sunt prævaricationes eorum;
confortatæ sunt aversiones eorum.

7 Super quo propitius tibi esse potero?
filii tui dereliquerunt me,
et jurant in his qui non sunt dii.
Saturavi eos, et mœchati sunt,
et in domo meretricis luxuriabantur.

8 Equi amatores et emissarii facti sunt:
unusquisque ad uxorem proximi sui hinniebat.

9 Numquid super his non visitabo, dicit Dominus,
et in gente tali non ulciscetur anima mea?

10 Ascendite muros ejus, et dissipate:
consummationem autem nolite facere:
auferte propagines ejus,
quia non sunt Domini.

11 Prævaricatione enim prævaricata est in me
domus Israël, et domus Juda, ait Dominus.

12 Negaverunt Dominum, et dixerunt:
Non est ipse: neque veniet super nos malum:
gladium et famem non videbimus.

13 Prophetæ fuerunt in ventum locuti,
et responsum non fuit in eis:
hæc ergo evenient illis.

14 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus exercituum:
Quia locuti estis verbum istud,
ecce ego do verba mea in ore tuo in ignem,
et populum istum in ligna,
et vorabit eos.

15 Ecce ego adducam super vos gentem de longinquo,
domus Israël, ait Dominus:
gentem robustam,
gentem antiquam,
gentem cujus ignorabis linguam,
nec intelliges quid loquatur.

16 Pharetra ejus quasi sepulchrum patens;
universi fortes.

17 Et comedet segetes tuas et panem tuum;
devorabit filios tuos et filias tuas;
comedet gregem tuum et armenta tua;
comedet vineam tuam et ficum tuam:
et conteret urbes munitas tuas,
in quibus tu habes fiduciam, gladio.

18 Verumtamen in diebus illis, ait Dominus,
non faciam vos in consummationem.

19 Quod si dixeritis:
Quare fecit nobis Dominus Deus noster hæc omnia?
dices ad eos:
Sicut dereliquistis me,
et servistis deo alieno in terra vestra,
sic servietis alienis in terra non vestra.

20 Annuntiate hoc domui Jacob,
et auditum facite in Juda, dicentes:

21 Audi, popule stulte, qui non habes cor:
qui habentes oculos, non videtis;
et aures, et non auditis.

22 Me ergo non timebitis, ait Dominus,
et a facie mea non dolebitis?
qui posui arenam terminum mari,
præceptum sempiternum quod non præteribit:
et commovebuntur, et non poterunt;
et intumescent fluctus ejus, et non transibunt illud.

23 Populo autem huic factum est cor incredulum et exasperans:
recesserunt, et abierunt.

24 Et non dixerunt in corde suo:
Metuamus Dominum Deum nostrum,
qui dat nobis pluviam temporaneam et serotinam in tempore suo,
plenitudinem annuæ messis custodientem nobis.

25 Iniquitates vestræ declinaverunt hæc,
et peccata vestra prohibuerunt bonum a vobis:

26 quia inventi sunt in populo meo impii insidiantes quasi aucupes,
laqueos ponentes et pedicas ad capiendos viros.

27 Sicut decipula plena avibus,
sic domus eorum plenæ dolo:
ideo magnificati sunt et ditati.

28 Incrassati sunt et impinguati,
et præterierunt sermones meos pessime.
Causam viduæ non judicaverunt,
causam pupilli non direxerunt,
et judicium pauperum non judicaverunt.

29 Numquid super his non visitabo, dicit Dominus,
aut super gentem hujuscemodi non ulciscetur anima mea?

30 Stupor et mirabilia facta sunt in terra:

31 prophetæ prophetabant mendacium,
et sacerdotes applaudebant manibus suis,
et populus meus dilexit talia.
Quid igitur fiet in novissimo ejus?]
