Ὁ λόγος ὁ γενόμενος πρὸς Ἰερεμίαν παρὰ Κυρίου εἰπεῖν

Οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ λέγων Γράψον πάντας τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἐχρημάτισα πρὸς σὲ ἐπὶ βιβλίου.

ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, φησὶν Κύριος, καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποικίαν λαοῦ μου Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰουδά, εἶπεν Κύριος, καὶ ἀποστρέψω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν ἔδωκα τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ κυριεύσουσιν αὐτῆς.

Καὶ οὔτοι οἱ λόγοι οὕς ἐλάλησεν Κύριος ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰουδά.

Οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος Φωνὴν φόβου ἀκούσεσθε· φόβος, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη.

ἐρωτήσατε καὶ ἴδετε εἰ ἔτεκεν ἄρσεν καὶ περὶ φόβου ἐν ᾧ καθέξουσιν ὀσφὺν καὶ σωτηρίαν ; διότι ἑώρακα πάντα ἄνθρωπον καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς ὀσφύος αὐτοῦ, ἐστράφησαν πρόσωπα εἰς ἴκτερον ἐγενήθη.

ὅτι μεγάλη ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν τοιαύτη, καὶ χρόνος στενός ἐστιν τῷ Ἰακώβ,

καὶ ἀπὸ τούτου σωθήσεται. ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, εἶπεν Κύριος, συντρίψω τὸν ζυγὸν ἀπὸ τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς δεσμοὺς αὐτῶν διαρρήξω, καὶ οὐκ ἐργῶνται αὐτοὶ ἀλλοτρίοις,

καὶ ἐργῶνται τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ οὐτῶν, καὶ τὸν Δαυεὶδ βασιλέα αὐτῶν ἀναστήσω αὐτοῖς.

Οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος Ἀνέστησα σύντριμμα, ἀλγηρὰ ἡ πληγή σου,

οὐκ ἔστιν κρίνων κρίσιν σου, εἰς ἀλγηρὸν ἰατρεύθης, ὠφελία σοι οὐκ ἔστιν.

πάντες οἱ φίλοι σου ἐπελάθοντό σου, οὐ μὴ ἐπερωτήσουσιν· ὅτι πληγὴν ἐχθροῦ ἔπαισά σε, παιδείαν στερεάν, ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ἀδικίαν ²⁴ σου ἐπλήθυναν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου.

διὰ τοῦτο πάντες οἱ ἔσθοντές σε βρωθήσονται, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί σου κρέας αὐτῶν πᾶν ἔδονται· ἐπὶ πλῆθος ἀδικιῶν σου ἐπληθύνθησαν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου, ἐποίησαν ταῦτά σοι· καὶ ἔσονται οἱ διαφοροῦντές σε εἰς διαφόρημα, καὶ πάντας τοὺς προνομεύοντάς σε δώσω εἰς προνομήν.

ὅτι ἀνάξω τὸ ἴαμά σου, ἀπὸ πληγῆς ὀδυνηρᾶς ἰατρεύσω σε, φησὶν Κύριος· ὅτι ἐσπαρμένη ἐκλήθης· θήρευμα ὑμῶν ἐστίν, ὅτι ζητῶν οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτήν.

οὕτως εἶπεν Κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποικίαν Ἰακώβ, καὶ αἰχμαλωσίαν αὐτοῦ ἐλεήσω· καὶ οἰκοδομηθήσεται πόλις ἐπὶ τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς, καὶ ὁ λαὸς κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτοῦ καθεδεῖται.

καὶ ἐξελεύσονται ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ἄδοντες, φωνὴ παιζόντων· καὶ πλεονάσω αὐτούς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐλαττωθῶσιν.

καὶ εἰσελεύσονται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ὡς τὸ πρότερον, καὶ τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτῶν κατὰ πρόσωπόν μου ὀρθωωθήσεται· καὶ ἐπισκέψομαι τοὺς θλίβοντας αὐτούς,

καὶ ἔσονται ἰσχυρότεροι αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτούς, καὶ ὁ ἄρχων αὐτοῦ ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται· καὶ συνάξω αὐτοὺς καὶ ἀποστρέψουσιν πρὸς μέ, ὅτι τίς ἐστιν οὗτος ὃς ἔδωκεν τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἀποστρέψαι πρὸς μέ, φησὶν Κύριος;

ὅτι ὀργὴ Κυρίου ἐξῆλθεν θυμώδης, ἐξῆλθεν ὀργὴ στρεφομένη, ἐπʼ ἀσεβεῖς ἤξει.

οὐ μὴ ἀποστραφῇ ὀργὴ θυμοῦ Κυρίου ἕως ποιήσῃ, καὶ ἕως καταστήσῃ ἐγχείρημα καρδίας αὐτοῦ· ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν γνώσεσθε αὐτά.

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.) — 37 focus

Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.

But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did listen to the words of Yahweh, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.

Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to Yahweh our God for us.

Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison.

Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they broke up from Jerusalem.

Then came the word of Yahweh to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Thus shall you tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.

The Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire.

Thus says Yahweh, Don't deceive yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us; for they shall not depart.

For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yes would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.

It happened that, when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,

then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people.

When he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are falling away to the Chaldeans.

Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I am not falling away to the Chaldeans. But he didn't listen to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.

The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.

When Jeremiah was come into the dungeon-house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;

Then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from Yahweh? Jeremiah said, There is. He said also, You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.

Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, Wherein have I sinned against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?

Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?

Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.

Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
