Περιδράμετε ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἴδετε καὶ γνῶτε καὶ ζητήσατε ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις αὐτῆς, ἐὰν εὕρητε, εἰ ἔστιν ποιῶν κρίμα καὶ ζητῶν πίστιν, καὶ ἵλεως ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς, λέγει Κύριος.

Ζῇ Κύριος, λέγουσιν· διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐν ψεύδεσιν ὀμνύουσιν;

Κύριε, οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου εἰς πίστιν· ἐμαστίγωσας αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἐπόνεσαν, συνετέλεσας αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν δέξασθαι παιδείαν, ἐστερέωσαν τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὑπέρ πέτραν καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν ἐπιστραφῆναι.

καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπα Ἴσως πτωχοί εἰσιν, διότι οὐκ ἐδυνάσθησαν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὁδὸν Κυρίου καὶ κρίσιν θεοῦ·

πορεύσομαι πρὸς τοὺς ἁδροὺς καὶ λαλήσω αὐτοῖς, ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἐπέγνωσαν ὁδὸν Κυρίου καὶ κρίσιν θεοῦ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁμοθυμαδὸν συνέτριψαν ζυγόν, διέρρηξαν δεσμούς.

διὰ τοῦτο ἔπαισεν αὐτοὺς λέων ἐκ τοῦ δρυμοῦ, καὶ λύκος ἕως τῶν οἰκιῶν ὠλόθρευσεν αὐτούς, καὶ πάρδαλις ἐγρηγόρησεν ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν· πάντες οἱ ἐκπορευόμενοι ἀπʼ αὐτῶν θηρευθήσονται, ὅτι ἐπλήθυναν ἀσεβείας οὐτῶν, sἴσχυσαν ἐν ταῖς ἀποστροφαῖς αὐτῶν.

ποίᾳ τούτων ἵλεως γέναομαί σοι; οἱ υἱοί σου ἐνκατέλιπὸν με καὶ ὤμνυον ἐν τοῖς οὐκ οὖσιν θεοῖς· καὶ ἐχόρτασα αὐτούς, καὶ ἐμοιχῶντο καὶ ἐν οἴκοις πορνῶν κάτελυον.

ἵπποι θηλυμανεῖς ἐγενήθησαν, ἕκαστος ἐπὶ τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἐχρεμέτιζεν.

μὴ ἐπὶ τούτοις οὐκ ἐπισκέψομαι λέγει Κύριος· ἡ ἐν ἔθνει τοιούτῳ οὐκ ἐκδικήσει ἡ ψυχὴ μου

Ἀνάβητε ἐπὶ τοὺς προμαχῶνας αὐτῆς καὶ κατασκάψατε, συντέλειαν δὲ μὴ ποιήσητε· ὑπολίπεσθε τὰ ὑποστηρίγματα αὐτῆς, ὅτι τοῦ κυρίου ¹³ εἰσίν.

ὅτι ἀθετῶν ἐθέτησεν εἰς ἐμέ, λέγει Κύριος, οἶκος Ἰσραήλ, καὶ οἶκος Ἰούδα

ἐψεύσατο τῷ κυρίῳ ἑαυτῶν, καὶ εἶπαν Οὐκ ἔστιν ταῦτα· οὐχ ἤξει ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς κακά, καὶ μάχαιραν καὶ λιμὸν οὐκ ὀψόμεθα·

οἱ προφῆται ἡμῶν ἦσαν εἰς ἄνεμον, καὶ λόγος Κυρίου οὐχ ὑπῆρχεν ἐν αὐτοῖς· οὕτως ἔσται αὐτοῖς.

διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ Ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐλαλήσατε τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δέδωκα τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὸ στόμα σου πῦρ, καὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ξύλα, καὶ καταφάγεται αὐτούς.

ἰδοὺ ἐὼ ἐπάγω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἔθνος πόρρωθεν, οἶκος Ἰσραήλ, λέγει Κύριος, ἔθνος οὗ οὐκ ἀκούσει τῆς φωνῆς τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ·

πάντες ἰσχυροί, 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 πόλεις τὰς ὀχυρὰς ὑμῶν, ἐφʼ αἷς ὑμεῖς πεποίθατε ἐπʼ αὐταῖς, ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ.

καὶ ἔσται ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις, λέγει Κύριος ὁ θεός σου, οὐ μὴ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς εἰς συντέλειαν.

καὶ ἔσται ὅταν εἴπητε Τἴνος ἕνεκεν ἐποίησεν Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἡμῖν πάντα ταῦτα; καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς Λνθʼ ὦν ἐδουλεύσατε θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις ἐν τῇ γῆ ὑμῶν, οὕτως δουλεύσετε ἀλλοτρίοις ἐν γῇ οὐχ ὑμῶν.

Ἀναγγείλατε ταῦτα εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ἰακώβ, καὶ ἀκουσθήτω ἐν τῷ Ἰούδα.

ἀκούσατε δὴ ταῦτα, λαὸς μωρὸς καὶ ἀκάρδιος· ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ βλέπουσιν, ὦτα αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐκ ἀκούουσιν.

μὴ ἐμέ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε; λέγει Κύριος, ἡ ἀπὸ προσώπου μου οὐκ εύλαβηθῄσεσθε; τὸν ⁴⁵ τάξαντα ἄμμον ὅριον τῇ θαλάσσῃ, πρόσταγμα αἰώνιον, καὶ οὐχ ὑπερβήσεται ⁶ αὐτό, καὶ ταραχθήσεται, καὶ οὐ δυνήσεται, καὶ ἠχήσουσιν τὰ κύματα αὐτῆς καὶ οὐχ ὑπερβήσεται αὐτό.

τῷ δὲ λαῷ τούτῳ ἐγενήθη καρδία ἀνήκοος καὶ ἀπειθής, καὶ ἐξέκλιναν καὶ ἀπήλθοσαν.

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.

αἱ ἀνομίαι ὑμῶν ἐξέκλιναν ταῦτα, καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ὑμῶν ἀπέστησαν τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἀφʼ ὑμῶν.

ὅτι εὑρεθησαν ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου ἀσεβεῖς, καὶ παγίδας ἔστησαν τοῦ διαφθεῖραι ἄνδρας, καὶ συνελαμβάνοσαν.

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

καὶ παρέβησαν κρίσιν, οὐκ ἔκριναν κρίσιν ὀρφανοῦ, καὶ κρίσιν χήρας οὐκ ἐκρίνοσαν.

μὴ ἐπὶ τούτοις οὐκ ἐπισκέψομαι; λέγει Κύριος, ἡ ἐν ἔθνει τῷ τοιούτῳ οὐκ ἐκδικήσει ἡ ψυχὴ μου

Ἔκαστασις καὶ φρικτὰ ἐγενήθη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

οἱ προφῆται προφητεύουσιν ἄδικα, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπεκρότησαν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ὁ λαός μου ἠγάπησεν οὕτως· καὶ τί ποιήσητε εἰς τὰ μετὰ ταῦτα;

Run you back and forth through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places of it, if you can find a man, if there are any who does justly, who seeks truth; and I will pardon her.

Though they say, As Yahweh lives; surely they swear falsely.

O Yahweh, don't your eyes look on truth? you have stricken them, but they were not grieved; you have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

Then I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish; for they don't know the way of Yahweh, nor the law of their God:

I will get me to the great men, and will speak to them; for they know the way of Yahweh, and the law of their God. But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

Therefore a lion out of the forest shall kill them, a wolf of the evenings shall destroy them, a leopard shall watch against their cities; everyone who goes out there shall be torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, [and] their backsliding is increased.

How can I pardon you? your children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the prostitutes' houses.

They were as fed horses roaming at large; everyone neighed after his neighbor's wife.

Shall I not visit for these things? says Yahweh; and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Go up on her walls, and destroy; but don't make a full end: take away her branches; for they are not Yahweh's.

For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, says Yahweh.

They have denied Yahweh, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come on us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:

and the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done to them.

Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, Because you speak this word, behold, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

Behold, I will bring a nation on you from far, house of Israel, says Yahweh: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you don't know, neither understand what they say.

Their quiver is an open tomb, they are all mighty men.

They shall eat up your harvest, and your bread, [which] your sons and your daughters should eat; they shall eat up your flocks and your herds; they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees; they shall beat down your fortified cities, in which you trust, with the sword.

But even in those days, says Yahweh, I will not make a full end with you.

It shall happen, when you shall say, Why has Yahweh our God done all these things to us? then shall you say to them, Like as you have forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your land, so shall you serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

Declare you this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,

Hear now this, foolish people, and without understanding; who have eyes, and don't see; who have ears, and don't hear:

Don't you fear me? says Yahweh: won't you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can't pass it? and though the waves of it toss themselves, yet they can't prevail; though they roar, yet they can't pass over it.

But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.

Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear Yahweh our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season; who preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.

For among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.

As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and grew rich.

They are grew fat, they shine: yes, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they don't plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and the right of the needy they don't judge.

Shall I not visit for these things? says Yahweh; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

A wonderful and horrible thing is happen in the land:

the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end of it?
