Jeremiah 6

KJV

1  O ye children¹¹²¹ of Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ gather yourselves to flee⁵⁷⁵⁶ out of the midst^{4480 7130} of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and blow⁸⁶²⁸ the trumpet⁷⁷⁸² in Tekoa,⁸⁶²⁰ and set up⁵³⁷⁵ a sign of fire⁴⁸⁶⁴ in⁵⁹²¹ Beth-haccerem:¹⁰²¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ appeareth⁸²⁵⁹ out of the north,^{4480 6828} and great¹⁴¹⁹ destruction.⁷⁶⁶⁷

2  I have likened¹⁸¹⁹ the daughter¹³²³ of Zion⁶⁷²⁶ to a comely⁵⁰⁰⁰ and delicate⁶⁰²⁶ woman.

3  The shepherds⁷⁴⁶² with their flocks⁵⁷³⁹ shall come⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ her; they shall pitch⁸⁶²⁸ their tents¹⁶⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ her round about;⁵⁴³⁹ they shall feed⁷⁴⁶² every one³⁷⁶ in⁸⁵⁴ his place.³⁰²⁷

4  Prepare⁶⁹⁴² ye war⁴⁴²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ her; arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and let us go up⁵⁹²⁷ at noon.⁶⁶⁷² Woe¹⁸⁸ unto us! for³⁵⁸⁸ the day³¹¹⁷ goeth away,⁶⁴³⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ the shadows⁶⁷⁵² of the evening⁶¹⁵³ are stretched out.⁵¹⁸⁶

5  Arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and let us go⁵⁹²⁷ by night,³⁹¹⁵ and let us destroy⁷⁸⁴³ her palaces.⁷⁵⁹

6  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ said,⁵⁵⁹ Hew ye down³⁷⁷² trees,⁶⁰⁹⁷ and cast⁸²¹⁰ a mount⁵⁵⁵⁰ against⁵⁹²¹ Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ this¹⁹³¹ is the city⁵⁸⁹² to be visited;⁶⁴⁸⁵ she is wholly³⁶⁰⁵ oppression⁶²³³ in the midst⁷¹³⁰ of her.

7  As a fountain⁹⁵³ casteth out⁶⁹⁷⁹ her waters,⁴³²⁵ so³⁶⁵¹ she casteth⁶⁹⁷⁹ out her wickedness:⁷⁴⁵¹ violence²⁵⁵⁵ and spoil⁷⁷⁰¹ is heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ in her; before^{5921 6440} me continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ is grief²⁴⁸³ and wounds.⁴³⁴⁷

8  Be thou instructed,³²⁵⁶ O Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ lest⁶⁴³⁵ my soul⁵³¹⁵ depart³³⁶³ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ thee; lest⁶⁴³⁵ I make⁷⁷⁶⁰ thee desolate,⁸⁰⁷⁷ a land⁷⁷⁶ not³⁸⁰⁸ inhabited.³⁴²⁷

9  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ They shall throughly glean^{5953 5953} the remnant⁷⁶¹¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ as a vine:¹⁶¹² turn back⁷⁷²⁵ thine hand³⁰²⁷ as a grape gatherer¹²¹⁹ into⁵⁹²¹ the baskets.⁵⁵⁵²

10  To⁵⁹²¹ whom⁴³¹⁰ shall I speak,¹⁶⁹⁶ and give warning,⁵⁷⁴⁹ that they may hear?⁸⁰⁸⁵ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ their ear²⁴¹ is uncircumcised,⁶¹⁸⁹ and they cannot^{3201 3808} hearken:⁷¹⁸¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is¹⁹⁶¹ unto them a reproach;²⁷⁸¹ they have no³⁸⁰⁸ delight²⁶⁵⁴ in it.

11  Therefore I am full⁴³⁹² of⁸⁵⁴ the fury²⁵³⁴ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ I am weary³⁸¹¹ with holding³⁵⁵⁷ in: I will pour it out⁸²¹⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ the children⁵⁷⁶⁸ abroad,²³⁵¹ and upon⁵⁹²¹ the assembly⁵⁴⁷⁵ of young men⁹⁷⁰ together:³¹⁶² for³⁵⁸⁸ even¹⁵⁷¹ the husband³⁷⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ the wife⁸⁰² shall be taken,³⁹²⁰ the aged²²⁰⁵ with⁵⁹⁷³ him that is full⁴³⁹⁰ of days.³¹¹⁷

12  And their houses¹⁰⁰⁴ shall be turned⁵⁴³⁷ unto others,³¹² with their fields⁷⁷⁰⁴ and wives⁸⁰² together:³¹⁶² for³⁵⁸⁸ I will stretch out^{5186 853} my hand³⁰²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land,⁷⁷⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

13  For³⁵⁸⁸ from the least^{4480 6996} of them even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the greatest¹⁴¹⁹ of them every one³⁶⁰⁵ is given to¹²¹⁴ covetousness;¹²¹⁵ and from the prophet^{4480 5030} even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ every one³⁶⁰⁵ dealeth⁶²¹³ falsely.⁸²⁶⁷

14  They have healed⁷⁴⁹⁵ also ⁸⁵³ the hurt⁷⁶⁶⁷ of the daughter of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ slightly,^{5921 7043} saying,⁵⁵⁹ Peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ peace;⁷⁹⁶⁵ when there is no³⁶⁹ peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

15  Were they ashamed⁹⁵⁴ when³⁵⁸⁸ they had committed⁶²¹³ abomination?⁸⁴⁴¹ nay,¹⁵⁷¹ they were not³⁸⁰⁸ at all ashamed,^{954 954} neither³⁸⁰⁸ could³⁰⁴⁵ they blush:³⁶³⁷ therefore³⁶⁵¹ they shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ among them that fall:⁵³⁰⁷ at the time⁶²⁵⁶ that I visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ them they shall be cast down,³⁷⁸² saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

16  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ ye in⁵⁹²¹ the ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ and see,⁷²⁰⁰ and ask⁷⁵⁹² for the old⁵⁷⁶⁹ paths,⁵⁴¹⁰ where^{335 2088} is the good²⁸⁹⁶ way,¹⁸⁷⁰ and walk¹⁹⁸⁰ therein, and ye shall find⁴⁶⁷² rest⁴⁷⁷¹ for your souls.⁵³¹⁵ But they said,⁵⁵⁹ We will not³⁸⁰⁸ walk¹⁹⁸⁰ therein.

17  Also I set⁶⁹⁶⁵ watchmen⁶⁸²² over⁵⁹²¹ you, saying, Hearken⁷¹⁸¹ to the sound⁶⁹⁶³ of the trumpet.⁷⁷⁸² But they said,⁵⁵⁹ We will not³⁸⁰⁸ hearken.⁷¹⁸¹

18  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ hear,⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye nations,¹⁴⁷¹ and know,³⁰⁴⁵ O congregation,^{5712 853} what⁸³⁴ is among them.

19  Hear,⁸⁰⁸⁵ O earth:⁷⁷⁶ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I⁵⁹⁵ will bring⁹³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ even the fruit⁶⁵²⁹ of their thoughts,⁴²⁸⁴ because³⁵⁸⁸ they have not³⁸⁰⁸ hearkened⁷¹⁸¹ unto⁵⁹²¹ my words,¹⁶⁹⁷ nor to my law,⁸⁴⁵¹ but rejected³⁹⁸⁸ it.

20  To what⁴¹⁰⁰ purpose²⁰⁸⁸ cometh⁹³⁵ there to me incense³⁸²⁸ from Sheba,^{4480 7614} and the sweet²⁸⁹⁶ cane⁷⁰⁷⁰ from a far⁴⁸⁰¹ country?^{4480 776} your burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ are not³⁸⁰⁸ acceptable,⁷⁵²² nor³⁸⁰⁸ your sacrifices²⁰⁷⁷ sweet⁶¹⁴⁹ unto me.

21  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will lay⁵⁴¹⁴ stumblingblocks⁴³⁸³ before⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and the fathers¹ and the sons¹¹²¹ together³¹⁶² shall fall³⁷⁸² upon them; the neighbor⁷⁹³⁴ and his friend⁷⁴⁵³ shall perish.⁶

22  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ a people⁵⁹⁷¹ cometh⁹³⁵ from the north⁶⁸²⁸ country,^{4480 776} and a great¹⁴¹⁹ nation¹⁴⁷¹ shall be raised⁵⁷⁸² from the sides^{4480 3411} of the earth.⁷⁷⁶

23  They shall lay hold²³⁸⁸ on bow⁷¹⁹⁸ and spear;³⁵⁹¹ they¹⁹³¹ are cruel,³⁹⁴ and have no³⁸⁰⁸ mercy;⁷³⁵⁵ their voice⁶⁹⁶³ roareth¹⁹⁹³ like the sea;³²²⁰ and they ride⁷³⁹² upon⁵⁹²¹ horses,⁵⁴⁸³ set in array⁶¹⁸⁶ as men³⁷⁶ for war⁴⁴²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ thee, O daughter¹³²³ of Zion.⁶⁷²⁶

24  We have heard^{8085 853} the fame⁸⁰⁸⁹ thereof: our hands³⁰²⁷ wax feeble:⁷⁵⁰³ anguish⁶⁸⁶⁹ hath taken hold²³⁸⁸ of us, and pain,²⁴²⁷ as of a woman in travail.³²⁰⁵

25  Go not forth^{408 3318} into the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ nor⁴⁰⁸ walk¹⁹⁸⁰ by the way;¹⁸⁷⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ the sword²⁷¹⁹ of the enemy³⁴¹ and fear⁴⁰³² is on every side.^{4480 5439}

26  O daughter¹³²³ of my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ gird²²⁹⁶ thee with sackcloth,⁸²⁴² and wallow thyself⁶⁴²⁸ in ashes:⁶⁶⁵ make⁶²¹³ thee mourning,⁶⁰ as for an only son,³¹⁷³ most bitter⁸⁵⁶³ lamentation:⁴⁵⁵³ for³⁵⁸⁸ the spoiler⁷⁷⁰³ shall suddenly⁶⁵⁹⁷ come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ us.

27  I have set⁵⁴¹⁴ thee for a tower⁹⁶⁹ and a fortress⁴⁰¹³ among my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ that thou mayest know³⁰⁴⁵ and try^{974 853} their way.¹⁸⁷⁰

28  They are all³⁶⁰⁵ grievous⁵⁴⁹³ revolters,⁵⁶³⁷ walking¹⁹⁸⁰ with slanders:⁷⁴⁰⁰ they are brass⁵¹⁷⁸ and iron;¹²⁷⁰ they¹⁹⁹² are all³⁶⁰⁵ corrupters.⁷⁸⁴³

29  The bellows⁴⁶⁴⁷ are burned,²⁷⁸⁷ the lead⁵⁷⁷⁷ is consumed⁸⁵⁵² of the fire;^{4480 784} the founder⁶⁸⁸⁴ melteth⁶⁸⁸⁴ in vain:⁷⁷²³ for the wicked⁷⁴⁵¹ are not³⁸⁰⁸ plucked away.⁵⁴²³

30  Reprobate³⁹⁸⁸ silver³⁷⁰¹ shall men call⁷¹²¹ them, because³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath rejected³⁹⁸⁸ them.

1 ἐνισχύσατε υἱοὶ Βενιαμιν ἐκ μέσου τῆς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐν Θεκουε σημάνατε σάλπιγγι καὶ ὑπὲρ Βαιθαχαρμα ἄρατε σημεῖον ὅτι κακὰ ἐκκέκυφεν ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ συντριβὴ μεγάλη γίνεται

2 καὶ ἀφαιρεθήσεται τὸ ὕψος σου θύγατερ Σιων

3 εἰς αὐτὴν ἥξουσιν ποιμένες καὶ τὰ ποίμνια αὐτῶν καὶ πήξουσιν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν σκηνὰς κύκλῳ καὶ ποιμανοῦσιν ἕκαστος τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ

4 παρασκευάσασθε ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν εἰς πόλεμον ἀνάστητε καὶ ἀναβῶμεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν μεσημβρίας οὐαὶ ἡμῖν ὅτι κέκλικεν ἡ ἡμέρα ὅτι ἐκλείπουσιν αἱ σκιαὶ τῆς ἑσπέρας

5 ἀνάστητε καὶ ἀναβῶμεν ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ καὶ διαφθείρωμεν τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς

6 ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος ἔκκοψον τὰ ξύλα αὐτῆς ἔκχεον ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ δύναμιν ὦ πόλις ψευδής ὅλη καταδυναστεία ἐν αὐτῇ

7 ὡς ψύχει λάκκος ὕδωρ οὕτως ψύχει κακία αὐτῆς ἀσέβεια καὶ ταλαιπωρία ἀκουσθήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς διὰ παντός πόνῳ καὶ μάστιγι

8 παιδευθήσῃ Ιερουσαλημ μὴ ἀποστῇ ἡ ψυχή μου ἀπὸ σοῦ μὴ ποιήσω σε ἄβατον γῆν ἥτις οὐ κατοικηθήσεται

9 ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος καλαμᾶσθε καλαμᾶσθε ὡς ἄμπελον τὰ κατάλοιπα τοῦ Ισραηλ ἐπιστρέψατε ὡς ὁ τρυγῶν ἐπὶ τὸν κάρταλλον αὐτοῦ

10 πρὸς τίνα λαλήσω καὶ διαμαρτύρωμαι καὶ ἀκούσεται ἰδοὺ ἀπερίτμητα τὰ ὦτα αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ δύνανται ἀκούειν ἰδοὺ τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς εἰς ὀνειδισμόν οὐ μὴ βουληθῶσιν αὐτὸ ἀκοῦσαι

11 καὶ τὸν θυμόν μου ἔπλησα καὶ ἐπέσχον καὶ οὐ συνετέλεσα αὐτούς ἐκχεῶ ἐπὶ νήπια ἔξωθεν καὶ ἐπὶ συναγωγὴν νεανίσκων ἅμα ὅτι ἀνὴρ καὶ γυνὴ συλλημφθήσονται πρεσβύτερος μετὰ πλήρους ἡμερῶν

12 καὶ μεταστραφήσονται αἱ οἰκίαι αὐτῶν εἰς ἑτέρους ἀγροὶ καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό ὅτι ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν ταύτην λέγει κύριος

13 ὅτι ἀπὸ μικροῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἕως μεγάλου πάντες συνετελέσαντο ἄνομα ἀπὸ ἱερέως καὶ ἕως ψευδοπροφήτου πάντες ἐποίησαν ψευδῆ

14 καὶ ἰῶντο τὸ σύντριμμα τοῦ λαοῦ μου ἐξουθενοῦντες καὶ λέγοντες εἰρήνη εἰρήνη καὶ ποῦ ἐστιν εἰρήνη

15 κατῃσχύνθησαν ὅτι ἐξελίποσαν καὶ οὐδ᾽ ὧς καταισχυνόμενοι κατῃσχύνθησαν καὶ τὴν ἀτιμίαν αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔγνωσαν διὰ τοῦτο πεσοῦνται ἐν τῇ πτώσει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν καιρῷ ἐπισκοπῆς αὐτῶν ἀπολοῦνται εἶπεν κύριος

16 τάδε λέγει κύριος στῆτε ἐπὶ ταῖς ὁδοῖς καὶ ἴδετε καὶ ἐρωτήσατε τρίβους κυρίου αἰωνίους καὶ ἴδετε ποία ἐστὶν ἡ ὁδὸς ἡ ἀγαθή καὶ βαδίζετε ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ εὑρήσετε ἁγνισμὸν ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν καὶ εἶπαν οὐ πορευσόμεθα

17 κατέστακα ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς σκοπούς ἀκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς τῆς σάλπιγγος καὶ εἶπαν οὐκ ἀκουσόμεθα

18 διὰ τοῦτο ἤκουσαν τὰ ἔθνη καὶ οἱ ποιμαίνοντες τὰ ποίμνια αὐτῶν

19 ἄκουε γῆ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον κακά τὸν καρπὸν ἀποστροφῆς αὐτῶν ὅτι τῶν λόγων μου οὐ προσέσχον καὶ τὸν νόμον μου ἀπώσαντο

20 ἵνα τί μοι λίβανον ἐκ Σαβα φέρετε καὶ κιννάμωμον ἐκ γῆς μακρόθεν τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ὑμῶν οὔκ εἰσιν δεκτά καὶ αἱ θυσίαι ὑμῶν οὐχ ἥδυνάν μοι

21 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ἀσθένειαν καὶ ἀσθενήσουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ πατέρες καὶ υἱοὶ ἅμα γείτων καὶ ὁ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἀπολοῦνται

22 τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ λαὸς ἔρχεται ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ ἔθνη ἐξεγερθήσεται ἀπ᾽ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς

23 τόξον καὶ ζιβύνην κρατήσουσιν ἰταμός ἐστιν καὶ οὐκ ἐλεήσει φωνὴ αὐτοῦ ὡς θάλασσα κυμαίνουσα ἐφ᾽ ἵπποις καὶ ἅρμασιν παρατάξεται ὡς πῦρ εἰς πόλεμον πρὸς σέ θύγατερ Σιων

24 ἠκούσαμεν τὴν ἀκοὴν αὐτῶν παρελύθησαν αἱ χεῖρες ἡμῶν θλῖψις κατέσχεν ἡμᾶς ὠδῖνες ὡς τικτούσης

25 μὴ ἐκπορεύεσθε εἰς ἀγρὸν καὶ ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς μὴ βαδίζετε ὅτι ῥομφαία τῶν ἐχθρῶν παροικεῖ κυκλόθεν

26 θύγατερ λαοῦ μου περίζωσαι σάκκον κατάπασαι ἐν σποδῷ πένθος ἀγαπητοῦ ποίησαι σεαυτῇ κοπετὸν οἰκτρόν ὅτι ἐξαίφνης ἥξει ταλαιπωρία ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς

27 δοκιμαστὴν δέδωκά σε ἐν λαοῖς δεδοκιμασμένοις καὶ γνώσῃ με ἐν τῷ δοκιμάσαι με τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῶν

28 πάντες ἀνήκοοι πορευόμενοι σκολιῶς χαλκὸς καὶ σίδηρος πάντες διεφθαρμένοι εἰσίν

29 ἐξέλιπεν φυσητὴρ ἀπὸ πυρός ἐξέλιπεν μόλιβος εἰς κενὸν ἀργυροκόπος ἀργυροκοπεῖ πονηρία αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐτάκη

30 ἀργύριον ἀποδεδοκιμασμένον καλέσατε αὐτούς ὅτι ἀπεδοκίμασεν αὐτοὺς κύριος

1 [Confortamini, filii Benjamin, in medio Jerusalem:
et in Thecua clangite buccina,
et super Bethacarem levate vexillum,
quia malum visum est ab aquilone,
et contritio magna.

2 Speciosæ et delicatæ assimilavi filiam Sion.

3 Ad eam venient pastores et greges eorum;
fixerunt in ea tentoria in circuitu:
pascet unusquisque eos qui sub manu sua sunt.

4 Sanctificate super eam bellum:
consurgite, et ascendamus in meridie:
væ nobis, quia declinavit dies;
quia longiores factæ sunt umbræ vesperi!

5 Surgite, et ascendamus in nocte,
et dissipemus domus ejus.

6 Quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum:
Cædite lignum ejus,
et fundite circa Jerusalem aggerem.
Hæc est civitas visitationis:
omnis calumnia in medio ejus.

7 Sicut frigidam fecit cisterna aquam suam,
sic frigidam fecit malitiam suam.
Iniquitas et vastitas audietur in ea,
coram me semper infirmitas et plaga.

8 Erudire, Jerusalem,
ne forte recedat anima mea a te;
ne forte ponam te desertam,
terram inhabitabilem.

9 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum:
Usque ad racemum colligent quasi in vinea reliquias Israël.
Converte manum tuam quasi vindemiator ad cartallum.

10 Cui loquar, et quem contestabor ut audiat?
ecce incircumcisæ aures eorum,
et audire non possunt:
ecce verbum Domini factum est eis in opprobrium,
et non suscipient illud.

11 Idcirco furore Domini plenus sum;
laboravi sustinens.
Effunde super parvulum foris,
et super consilium juvenum simul:
vir enim cum muliere capietur;
senex cum pleno dierum.

12 Et transibunt domus eorum ad alteros,
agri et uxores pariter,
quia extendam manum meam super habitantes terram, dicit Dominus:

13 a minore quippe usque ad majorem
omnes avaritiæ student,
et a propheta usque ad sacerdotem
cuncti faciunt dolum.

14 Et curabant contritionem filiæ populi mei cum ignominia,
dicentes: Pax, pax!
et non erat pax.

15 Confusi sunt, quia abominationem fecerunt:
quin potius confusione non sunt confusi,
et erubescere nescierunt.
Quam ob rem cadent inter ruentes:
in tempore visitationis suæ corruent, dicit Dominus.

16 Hæc dicit Dominus:
State super vias, et videte,
et interrogate de semitis antiquis quæ sit via bona,
et ambulate in ea:
et invenietis refrigerium animabus vestris.
Et dixerunt: Non ambulabimus.

17 Et constitui super vos speculatores:
Audite vocem tubæ.
Et dixerunt: Non audiemus.

18 Ideo audite, gentes,
et cognosce, congregatio,
quanta ego faciam eis.

19 Audi, terra:
ecce ego adducam mala super populum istum,
fructum cogitationum ejus:
quia verba mea non audierunt,
et legem meam projecerunt.

20 Ut quid mihi thus de Saba affertis,
et calamum suave olentem de terra longinqua?
Holocautomata vestra non sunt accepta,
et victimæ vestræ non placuerunt mihi.

21 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus:
Ecce ego dabo in populum istum ruinas:
et ruent in eis patres et filii simul;
vicinus et proximus peribunt.

22 Hæc dicit Dominus:
Ecce populus venit de terra aquilonis,
et gens magna consurget a finibus terræ.

23 Sagittam et scutum arripiet:
crudelis est et non miserebitur.
Vox ejus quasi mare sonabit:
et super equos ascendent,
præparati quasi vir ad prælium
adversum te, filia Sion.

24 Audivimus famam ejus;
dissolutæ sunt manus nostræ:
tribulatio apprehendit nos,
dolores ut parturientem.

25 Nolite exire ad agros,
et in via ne ambuletis,
quoniam gladius inimici,
pavor in circuitu.

26 Filia populi mei, accingere cilicio,
et conspergere cinere:
luctum unigeniti fac tibi,
planctum amarum,
quia repente veniet vastator super nos.

27 Probatorem dedi te in populo meo robustum:
et scies, et probabis viam eorum.

28 Omnes isti principes declinantes,
ambulantes fraudulenter,
æs et ferrum:
universi corrupti sunt.

29 Defecit sufflatorium;
in igne consumptum est plumbum:
frustra conflavit conflator,
malitiæ enim eorum non sunt consumptæ.

30 Argentum reprobum vocate eos,
quia Dominus projecit illos.]
