Jeremiah 18

KJV

1  The word¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ from^{4480 854} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹

2  Arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and go down³³⁸¹ to the potter's³³³⁵ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and there⁸⁰³³ I will cause thee to hear^{8085 853} my words.¹⁶⁹⁷

3  Then I went down³³⁸¹ to the potter's³³³⁵ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he wrought⁶²¹³ a work⁴³⁹⁹ on⁵⁹²¹ the wheels.⁷⁰

4  And the vessel³⁶²⁷ that⁸³⁴ he¹⁹³¹ made⁶²¹³ of clay²⁵⁶³ was marred⁷⁸⁴³ in the hand³⁰²⁷ of the potter:³³³⁵ so he made⁶²¹³ it again⁷⁷²⁵ another³¹² vessel,³⁶²⁷ as⁸³⁴ seemed⁵⁸⁶⁹ good³⁴⁷⁴ to the potter³³³⁵ to make⁶²¹³ it.

5  Then the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ me, saying,⁵⁵⁹

6  O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ cannot^{3808 3201} I do⁶²¹³ with you as this²⁰⁸⁸ potter?³³³⁵ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ as the clay²⁵⁶³ is in the potter's³³³⁵ hand,³⁰²⁷ so³⁶⁵¹ are ye⁸⁵⁹ in mine hand,³⁰²⁷ O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

7  At what instant⁷²⁸¹ I shall speak¹⁶⁹⁶ concerning⁵⁹²¹ a nation,¹⁴⁷¹ and concerning⁵⁹²¹ a kingdom,⁴⁴⁶⁷ to pluck up,⁵⁴²⁸ and to pull down,⁵⁴²² and to destroy⁶ it;

8  If that¹⁹³¹ nation,¹⁴⁷¹ against⁵⁹²¹ whom⁸³⁴ I have pronounced,¹⁶⁹⁶ turn⁷⁷²⁵ from their evil,^{4480 7451} I will repent⁵¹⁶² of⁵⁹²¹ the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ that⁸³⁴ I thought²⁸⁰³ to do⁶²¹³ unto them.

9  And at what instant⁷²⁸¹ I shall speak¹⁶⁹⁶ concerning⁵⁹²¹ a nation,¹⁴⁷¹ and concerning⁵⁹²¹ a kingdom,⁴⁴⁶⁷ to build¹¹²⁹ and to plant⁵¹⁹³ it;

10  If it do⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in my sight,⁵⁸⁶⁹ that it obey⁸⁰⁸⁵ not¹¹¹⁵ my voice,⁶⁹⁶³ then I will repent⁵¹⁶² of⁵⁹²¹ the good,²⁸⁹⁶ wherewith⁸³⁴ I said⁵⁵⁹ I would benefit³¹⁹⁰ them.

11  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore go⁴⁹⁹⁴ to, speak⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the men³⁷⁶ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and to⁵⁹²¹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I⁵⁹⁵ frame³³³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ against⁵⁹²¹ you, and devise²⁸⁰³ a device⁴²⁸⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ you: return⁷⁷²⁵ ye now⁴⁹⁹⁴ every one³⁷⁶ from his evil⁷⁴⁵¹ way,^{4480 1870} and make your ways¹⁸⁷⁰ and your doings⁴⁶¹¹ good.³¹⁹⁰

12  And they said,⁵⁵⁹ There is no hope:²⁹⁷⁶ but³⁵⁸⁸ we will walk¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ our own devices,⁴²⁸⁴ and we will every one³⁷⁶ do⁶²¹³ the imagination⁸³⁰⁷ of his evil⁷⁴⁵¹ heart.³⁸²⁰

13  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Ask⁷⁵⁹² ye now⁴⁹⁹⁴ among the heathen,¹⁴⁷¹ who⁴³¹⁰ hath heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ such⁴²⁸ things: the virgin¹³³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ hath done⁶²¹³ a very³⁹⁶⁶ horrible thing.⁸¹⁸⁶

14  Will a man leave⁵⁸⁰⁰ the snow⁷⁹⁵⁰ of Lebanon³⁸⁴⁴ which cometh from the rock^{4480 6697} of the field?⁷⁷⁰⁴ or shall the cold⁷¹¹⁹ flowing⁵¹⁴⁰ waters⁴³²⁵ that come from another place²¹¹⁴ be forsaken?⁵⁴²⁸

15  Because³⁵⁸⁸ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ hath forgotten⁷⁹¹¹ me, they have burned incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ to vanity,⁷⁷²³ and they have caused them to stumble³⁷⁸² in their ways¹⁸⁷⁰ from the ancient⁵⁷⁶⁹ paths,⁷⁶³⁵ to walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in paths,⁵⁴¹⁰ in a way¹⁸⁷⁰ not³⁸⁰⁸ cast up;⁵⁵⁴⁹

16  To make⁷⁷⁶⁰ their land⁷⁷⁶ desolate,⁸⁰⁴⁷ and a perpetual⁵⁷⁶⁹ hissing;⁸²⁹² every one³⁶⁰⁵ that passeth⁵⁶⁷⁴ thereby⁵⁹²¹ shall be astonished,⁸⁰⁷⁴ and wag⁵¹¹⁰ his head.⁷²¹⁸

17  I will scatter⁶³²⁷ them as with an east⁶⁹²¹ wind⁷³⁰⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the enemy;³⁴¹ I will show⁷²⁰⁰ them the back,⁶²⁰³ and not³⁸⁰⁸ the face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ in the day³¹¹⁷ of their calamity.³⁴³

18  Then said⁵⁵⁹ they, Come,¹⁹⁸⁰ and let us devise²⁸⁰³ devices⁴²⁸⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ Jeremiah;³⁴¹⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ perish⁶ from the priest,^{4480 3548} nor counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ from the wise,^{4480 2450} nor the word¹⁶⁹⁷ from the prophet.^{4480 5030} Come,¹⁹⁸⁰ and let us smite⁵²²¹ him with the tongue,³⁹⁵⁶ and let us not⁴⁰⁸ give heed⁷¹⁸¹ to⁴¹³ any³⁶⁰⁵ of his words.¹⁶⁹⁷

19  Give heed⁷¹⁸¹ to⁴¹³ me, O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ to the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of them that contend³⁴⁰¹ with me.

20  Shall evil⁷⁴⁵¹ be recompensed⁷⁹⁹⁹ for⁸⁴⁷⁸ good?²⁸⁹⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ they have digged³⁷³⁸ a pit⁷⁷⁴⁵ for my soul.⁵³¹⁵ Remember²¹⁴² that I stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ good²⁸⁹⁶ for⁵⁹²¹ them, and to turn away^{7725 853} thy wrath²⁵³⁴ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ them.

21  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ deliver up^{5414 853} their children¹¹²¹ to the famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ and pour out⁵⁰⁶⁴ their blood by⁵⁹²¹ the force³⁰²⁷ of the sword;²⁷¹⁹ and let their wives⁸⁰² be¹⁹⁶¹ bereaved of their children,⁷⁹⁰⁹ and be widows;⁴⁹⁰ and let their men³⁷⁶ be¹⁹⁶¹ put²⁰²⁶ to death;⁴¹⁹⁴ let their young men⁹⁷⁰ be slain⁵²²¹ by the sword²⁷¹⁹ in battle.⁴⁴²¹

22  Let a cry²²⁰¹ be heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ from their houses,^{4480 1004} when³⁵⁸⁸ thou shalt bring⁹³⁵ a troop¹⁴¹⁶ suddenly⁶⁵⁹⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ them: for³⁵⁸⁸ they have digged³⁷³⁸ a pit⁷⁷⁴⁵ to take³⁹²⁰ me, and hid²⁹³⁴ snares⁶³⁴¹ for my feet.⁷²⁷²

23  Yet, LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ knowest^{3045 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ their counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ me to slay⁴¹⁹⁴ me: forgive³⁷²² not⁴⁰⁸ their iniquity,⁵⁷⁷¹ neither⁴⁰⁸ blot out⁴²²⁹ their sin²⁴⁰³ from thy sight,^{4480 6440} but let them be¹⁹⁶¹ overthrown³⁷⁸² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee; deal⁶²¹³ thus with them in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of thine anger.⁶³⁹

1 ὁ λόγος ὁ γενόμενος παρὰ κυρίου πρὸς Ιερεμιαν λέγων

2 ἀνάστηθι καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς οἶκον τοῦ κεραμέως καὶ ἐκεῖ ἀκούσῃ τοὺς λόγους μου

3 καὶ κατέβην εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ κεραμέως καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἐποίει ἔργον ἐπὶ τῶν λίθων

4 καὶ διέπεσεν τὸ ἀγγεῖον ὃ αὐτὸς ἐποίει ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ πάλιν αὐτὸς ἐποίησεν αὐτὸ ἀγγεῖον ἕτερον καθὼς ἤρεσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ τοῦ ποιῆσαι

5 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων

6 εἰ καθὼς ὁ κεραμεὺς οὗτος οὐ δυνήσομαι τοῦ ποιῆσαι ὑμᾶς οἶκος Ισραηλ ἰδοὺ ὡς ὁ πηλὸς τοῦ κεραμέως ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἐν ταῖς χερσίν μου

7 πέρας λαλήσω ἐπὶ ἔθνος ἢ ἐπὶ βασιλείαν τοῦ ἐξᾶραι αὐτοὺς καὶ τοῦ ἀπολλύειν

8 καὶ ἐπιστραφῇ τὸ ἔθνος ἐκεῖνο ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν κακῶν αὐτῶν καὶ μετανοήσω περὶ τῶν κακῶν ὧν ἐλογισάμην τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτοῖς

9 καὶ πέρας λαλήσω ἐπὶ ἔθνος καὶ ἐπὶ βασιλείαν τοῦ ἀνοικοδομεῖσθαι καὶ τοῦ καταφυτεύεσθαι

10 καὶ ποιήσωσιν τὰ πονηρὰ ἐναντίον μου τοῦ μὴ ἀκούειν τῆς φωνῆς μου καὶ μετανοήσω περὶ τῶν ἀγαθῶν ὧν ἐλάλησα τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτοῖς

11 καὶ νῦν εἰπὸν πρὸς ἄνδρας Ιουδα καὶ πρὸς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ιερουσαλημ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πλάσσω ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς κακὰ καὶ λογίζομαι ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς λογισμόν ἀποστραφήτω δὴ ἕκαστος ἀπὸ ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς καὶ καλλίονα ποιήσετε τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ὑμῶν

12 καὶ εἶπαν ἀνδριούμεθα ὅτι ὀπίσω τῶν ἀποστροφῶν ἡμῶν πορευσόμεθα καὶ ἕκαστος τὰ ἀρεστὰ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς ποιήσομεν

13 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐρωτήσατε δὴ ἐν ἔθνεσιν τίς ἤκουσεν τοιαῦτα φρικτά ἃ ἐποίησεν σφόδρα παρθένος Ισραηλ

14 μὴ ἐκλείψουσιν ἀπὸ πέτρας μαστοὶ ἢ χιὼν ἀπὸ τοῦ Λιβάνου μὴ ἐκκλινεῖ ὕδωρ βιαίως ἀνέμῳ φερόμενον

15 ὅτι ἐπελάθοντό μου ὁ λαός μου εἰς κενὸν ἐθυμίασαν καὶ ἀσθενήσουσιν ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν σχοίνους αἰωνίους τοῦ ἐπιβῆναι τρίβους οὐκ ἔχοντας ὁδὸν εἰς πορείαν

16 τοῦ τάξαι τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ σύριγμα αἰώνιον πάντες οἱ διαπορευόμενοι δι᾽ αὐτῆς ἐκστήσονται καὶ κινήσουσιν τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν

17 ὡς ἄνεμον καύσωνα διασπερῶ αὐτοὺς κατὰ πρόσωπον ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν δείξω αὐτοῖς ἡμέραν ἀπωλείας αὐτῶν

18 καὶ εἶπαν δεῦτε λογισώμεθα ἐπὶ Ιερεμιαν λογισμόν ὅτι οὐκ ἀπολεῖται νόμος ἀπὸ ἱερέως καὶ βουλὴ ἀπὸ συνετοῦ καὶ λόγος ἀπὸ προφήτου δεῦτε καὶ πατάξωμεν αὐτὸν ἐν γλώσσῃ καὶ ἀκουσόμεθα πάντας τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ

19 εἰσάκουσόν μου κύριε καὶ εἰσάκουσον τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ δικαιώματός μου

20 εἰ ἀνταποδίδοται ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν κακά ὅτι συνελάλησαν ῥήματα κατὰ τῆς ψυχῆς μου καὶ τὴν κόλασιν αὐτῶν ἔκρυψάν μοι μνήσθητι ἑστηκότος μου κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου τοῦ λαλῆσαι ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν ἀγαθὰ τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι τὸν θυμόν σου ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν

21 διὰ τοῦτο δὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν εἰς λιμὸν καὶ ἄθροισον αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας μαχαίρας γενέσθωσαν αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν ἄτεκνοι καὶ χῆραι καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες αὐτῶν γενέσθωσαν ἀνῃρημένοι θανάτῳ καὶ οἱ νεανίσκοι αὐτῶν πεπτωκότες μαχαίρᾳ ἐν πολέμῳ

22 γενηθήτω κραυγὴ ἐν ταῖς οἰκίαις αὐτῶν ἐπάξεις ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς λῃστὰς ἄφνω ὅτι ἐνεχείρησαν λόγον εἰς σύλλημψίν μου καὶ παγίδας ἔκρυψαν ἐπ᾽ ἐμέ

23 καὶ σύ κύριε ἔγνως ἅπασαν τὴν βουλὴν αὐτῶν ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ εἰς θάνατον μὴ ἀθῳώσῃς τὰς ἀδικίας αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου σου μὴ ἐξαλείψῃς γενέσθω ἡ ἀσθένεια αὐτῶν ἐναντίον σου ἐν καιρῷ θυμοῦ σου ποίησον ἐν αὐτοῖς

Vul

1 Verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam a Domino, dicens:

2 Surge, et descende in domum figuli, et ibi audies verba mea.

3 Et descendi in domum figuli, et ecce ipse faciebat opus super rotam.

4 Et dissipatum est vas quod ipse faciebat e luto manibus suis: conversusque fecit illud vas alterum, sicut placuerat in oculis ejus ut faceret.

5 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

6 [Numquid sicut figulus iste,
non potero vobis facere, domus Israël? ait Dominus:
ecce sicut lutum in manu figuli,
sic vos in manu mea, domus Israël.

7 Repente loquar adversum gentem et adversus regnum,
ut eradicem, et destruam, et disperdam illud:

8 si pœnitentiam egerit gens illa a malo suo
quod locutus sum adversus eam,
agam et ego pœnitentiam super malo
quod cogitavi ut facerem ei.

9 Et subito loquar de gente et de regno,
ut ædificem et plantem illud.

10 Si fecerit malum in oculis meis,
ut non audiat vocem meam,
pœnitentiam agam super bono quod locutus sum ut facerem ei.

11 Nunc ergo dic viro Juda, et habitatoribus Jerusalem, dicens:
Hæc dicit Dominus:
Ecce ego fingo contra vos malum,
et cogito contra vos cogitationem:
revertatur unusquisque a via sua mala,
et dirigite vias vestras et studia vestra.

12 Qui dixerunt: Desperavimus:
post cogitationes enim nostras ibimus,
et unusquisque pravitatem cordis sui mali faciemus.

13 Ideo hæc dicit Dominus:
Interrogate gentes:
Quis audivit talia horribilia,
quæ fecit nimis virgo Israël?

14 Numquid deficiet de petra agri nix Libani?
aut evelli possunt aquæ erumpentes frigidæ, et defluentes?

15 Quia oblitus est mei populus meus,
frustra libantes,
et impingentes in viis suis,
in semitis sæculi,
ut ambularent per eas in itinere non trito,

16 ut fieret terra eorum in desolationem,
et in sibilum sempiternum:
omnis qui præterierit per eam obstupescet,
et movebit caput suum.

17 Sicut ventus urens dispergam eos coram inimico:
dorsum, et non faciem, ostendam eis in die perditionis eorum.]

18 Et dixerunt: [Venite, et cogitemus contra Jeremiam cogitationes:
non enim peribit lex a sacerdote,
neque consilium a sapiente,
nec sermo a propheta:
venite, et percutiamus eum lingua,
et non attendamus ad universos sermones ejus.]

19 [Attende, Domine, ad me,
et audi vocem adversariorum meorum.

20 Numquid redditur pro bono malum,
quia foderunt foveam animæ meæ?
Recordare quod steterim in conspectu tuo
ut loquerer pro eis bonum,
et averterem indignationem tuam ab eis.

21 Propterea da filios eorum in famem,
et deduc eos in manus gladii:
fiant uxores eorum absque liberis, et viduæ:
et viri earum interficiantur morte:
juvenes eorum confodiantur gladio in prælio:

22 audiatur clamor de domibus eorum:
adduces enim super eos latronem repente,
quia foderunt foveam ut caperent me,
et laqueos absconderunt pedibus meis.

23 Tu autem, Domine, scis omne consilium eorum
adversum me in mortem:
ne propitieris iniquitati eorum,
et peccatum eorum a facie tua non deleatur:
fiant corruentes in conspectu tuo;
in tempore furoris tui abutere eis.]
