Ὁ λογος ὸ γενόμενος πρὸς Ἰερεμίαν ἐπὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν ¹Ἰούδα ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τετάρτῳ τοῦ Ἰωακεὶμ υἱοῦ Ἰωσεία βασιλέως Ἰούδα,

δν ἐλάλησεν πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαὸν Ἰούδα καὶ πρὸς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἰερουσαλὴμ λέγων

Ἐν τρισκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει Ἰωσία υἱοῦ Ἀμὼς βασιλέως Ἰούδα καὶ ¹ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης εἵκοσι καὶ τρία §ἔτη, καὶ ἐλάλησα πρὸς ὑμᾶς ὀρθρίζων καὶ λέγων.

καὶ ἀπέστελλον πρὸς ὑμᾶς τοὺς δούλους μου τοὺς προφήτας ὄρθρου ἀποστέλλων, καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσατε καὶ οὐ προσέσχετε τοῖς ὠσὶν ὑμῶν,

λέγων Ἀποστράφητε ἕκαστος ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πονηρῶν ἐπιτηδευματων ὑμῶν, καὶ κατοικήσετε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἧς ἔδωκα ὑμῖν καὶ τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν ἀπʼ αἰῶνος καὶ ἕως αἰῶνος.

μὴ πορεύεσθε ὀπίσω θεῶν ἀλλοτρίων τοῦ δουλεύειν αὐτοῖς καὶ τοῦ προσκυνεῖν αὐτοῖς, ὅπως μὴ παροργίζητέ με ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν ὑμῶν τοῦ κακῶσαι ὑμᾶς.

καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατέ μου.

διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἐπειδὴ οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε τοῖς λόγοις μου,

ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω καὶ λήμψομαι πατριὰν ἀπὸ βορρᾶ, καὶ ἄξω αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐξερημώσω αὐτοὺς καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ εἰς συριγμὸν καὶ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν αἰώνιον.

καὶ ἀπολῶ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν φωνὴν χαρᾶς καὶ φωνὴν εὐφροσύνης, φωνὴν νυμφίου καὶ φωνὴν νύμφης, ὀσμὴν μύρου καὶ φῶς λύχνου.

καὶ ἔσται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ εἰς ἀφανισμόν, καὶ ² δουλεύσουσιν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη, ¶

καὶ ἐν τῷ πληρωθῆναι ³⁴ ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη ἐκδικήσω τὸ ἔθνος ἐκεῖνο καὶ θήσομαι αὐτοὺς ⁵ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν αἰώνιον,

καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην πάντας τοὺς §λόγους μου οὓς ἐλάλησα κατʼ αὐτῆς, πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ ⁶ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ.

Ἃ ἐπροφήτευσεν Ἰερεμίας ἐπὶ τὰ ἕθνη τὰ Αίλάμ. ¶

⁷

Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Συνετρίβη τὸ τόξον Αἰλάμ, ἀρχὴ δυναστείας αὐτῶν.

καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπὶ Αἰλὰμ τέσσαρας ἀνέμους ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἄκρων τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ διασπερῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἀνέμοις τούτοις, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ἔθνος ὃ οὐχ ἤξει ἐκεῖ, οἱ ἐξωσμένοι Αἰλάμ.

καὶ πτοήσω αὐτοὺς ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν τῶν ζητούντων τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς κατὰ τὴν ὀργὴν τοῦ θυμοῦ μου, καὶ ἐπαποστελῶ ὀπίσω αὐτῶν τὴν μάχαιράν μου ἕως τοῦ ἐξαναλῶσαι αὐτούς.

καὶ θήσω τὸν θρόνοι μου ἐν Αἰλάμ, καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ ἐκεῖθεν βασιλέα καὶ μεγιστᾶνας,

καὶ ἔσται ἐπʼ ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν Αἰλάμ, λέγει Κύριος.

Ἱερεμίας (Greek) (Septuaginta. The Old Testament in Greek According to the Septuagint. Volume 3: Hosea-4 Maccabees, Psalms of Solomon, Enoch, The Odes. Swete, Henry Barclay, editor. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1905)

Translations (1)

Jeremiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 25 focus

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (the same was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,)

which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:

From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, the word of Yahweh has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened.

Yahweh has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, (but you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear,)

saying, Return you now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Yahweh has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even forevermore;

and don't go after other gods to serve them or worship them, and don't provoke me to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no harm.

Yet you have not listened to me, says Yahweh; that you may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.

Therefore thus says Yahweh of Hosts: Because you have not heard my words,

behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says Yahweh, and [I will send] to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants of it, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.

Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.

This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

It shall happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says Yahweh, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate forever.

I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.

For many nations and great kings shall make bondservants of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.

For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to me: take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it.

They shall drink, and reel back and forth, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

Then took I the cup at Yahweh's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Yahweh had sent me:

[to wit], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings of it, and the princes of it, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;

Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;

and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;

Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who have the corners [of their hair] cut off;

and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness;

and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

You shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel: Drink you, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then shall you tell them, Thus says Yahweh of Hosts: You shall surely drink.

For, behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, says Yahweh of Hosts.

Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and tell them, Yahweh will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give a shout, as those who tread [the grapes], against all the inhabitants of the earth.

A noise shall come even to the end of the earth; for Yahweh has a controversy with the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, says Yahweh.

Thus says Yahweh of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great tempest shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.

The slain of Yahweh shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung on the surface of the ground.

Wail, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow [in ashes], you principal of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come, and you shall fall like a goodly vessel.

The shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.

A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the principal of the flock! for Yahweh lays waste their pasture.

The peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Yahweh.

He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land is become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressing [sword], and because of his fierce anger.
