Ἐνισχύσατε, υἱοὶ Βενιαμείν, ἐκ μέσου τῆς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐν Θεκοῦε σημάνατε σάλπιγγι, καὶ ὑπέρ Βαιθθαχαρμὰ ἄρατε σημεῖον· ὅτι κακὰ ἐκκέκυφεν ἀπὸ βορρᾶ, καὶ συντριβὴ μεγάλη γίνεται,

καὶ ἀφαιρεθήσεται τὸ ὕψος σου, θυγάτηρ Σειών.

εἰς αὐτὴν ἥξουσιν ποιμένες καὶ τὰ ποίμνια αὐτῶν, καὶ πήξουσιν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν σκηνὰς κύκλῳ, καὶ ποιμανοῦσιν ἕκαστος τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.

παρασκευάσασθε ¹³ ἐπʼ αὐτὴν εἰς πόλεμον, ανάστητε καὶ ἀναβῶμεν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν μεσημβρἰας· οὐαὶ ἡμῖν, ὅτι κέκλικεν ἡ ἡμέρα, ὅτι ἐκλείπουσιν αἱ σκιαὶ τῆς ἡμέρας.

ἀνάστητε καὶ ἀναβῶμεν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν νυκτί, καὶ διαφθείρωμεν τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς.

ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἔκκοψον τὰ ξύλα αὐτῆς, ἕκχεον ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ δύναμιν· ὥ πόλις ψευδής, ὅλη καταδυναστεία ἐν αὐτῇ.

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

παιδευθήσῃ, Ἰερουσαλήμ· μὴ ἀποστῇ ἡ ψυχὴ μου ἀπὸ σοῦ, μὴ ποιήσω σε ἄβατον γῆν ἥτις οὐ κατοικισθῇ.

Ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος Καλαμάσθε καλαμᾶσθε ὡς ἄμπελον τὰ κατάλοιπα τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ἐπιστρέψατε ὡς ὁ τρυγῶν ἐπὶ τὸν κάρταλλον αὐτοῦ.

πρὸς τίνα λαλήσω καὶ διαμαρτύρωμαι, καὶ ἀκούσεται; ἰδοὺ ἀπερίτμητα τὰ ὦτα αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ δυνήσονται ἀκούειν· ἰδοὺ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς εἰς ὀνειδισμόν, οὐ μὴ βουληθῶσιν αὐτό.

καὶ τὸν θυμόν μου ἔπλησα καὶ ἐπέσχον, καὶ οὐ συνετέλεσα αὐτοὺς· ἐκχεῶ ἐπὶ νήπια ἔξωθεν, ἐπὶ συναγωγὴν νεανίσκων ἄμα, ὅτι ἀνὴρ καὶ γυνὴ συνλημφθήσονται, πρεσβύτερος μετὰ πλήρους ἡμερῶν·

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.

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

καὶ ἰῶντο τὸ σύντριμμα τοῦ λαοῦ μου. ἐξουθενοῦντες καὶ λέγοντες Εἰρήνη εἰρήνη· καὶ ποῦ ἐστιν εἰρήνη;

κατῃσχύνθησαν ὅτι ἐξελίποσαν· καὶ οὐδʼ ὡς καταισχυνόμενοι κατῃσχύνθησαν, καὶ τὴν ἀτιμίαν αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔγνωσαν· διὰ τοῦτο ⁴⁵ πεσοῦνται ἐν τῇ πτώσει αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ ἐπισκοπῆς ἀπολοῦνται, ⁶ εἶπεν Κύριος.

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.

καθέστακα ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς σκοπούς, ἀκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς τῆς σάλπιγγος· καὶ εἶπαν Οὐκ ἀκουσόμεθα.

διὰ τοῦτο ἤκουσαν τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ οἱ ποιμαίνοντες τὰ ποίμνια αὐτῶν.

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.

ἴνα τί μοι λίβανον ἐκ Σαβὰ φέρετε καὶ κιννάμωμον ἐκ γῆς μακρόθεν; τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ὑμῶν οὐκ εἰσὶν δεκτά, καὶ αἱ θυσίαι ὑμῶν οὐχ ἥδυνάν μοι.

διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ἀσθενίαν, καὶ ἀσθενήσουσιν πατέρες καὶ υἱοὶ ἄμα, γείτων καὶ ὁ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἀπολοῦνται.

Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἰδοὺ λαὸς ἔρχεται ἀπὸ βορρᾶ, καὶ ἔθνη ἐγερθήσεται ἀπʼ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς,

τόξον καὶ ζιβύνην κρατήσουσιν· ἰταμός ἐστιν, καὶ οὐκ ἐλεήσει· φωνὴ αὐτοῦ ὡς θάλασσα κυμαίνουσα, ἐφʼ ἵπποις καὶ ἅρμασιν παρατάξεται ὡς πῦρ εἰς πόλεμον πρὸς σέ, θύγατερ Σειών.

ἠκούσαμεν τὴν ἀκοὴν αὐτῶν, παρελύθησαν αἱ χεῖρες ἡμῶν, θλίψις κατέσχεν ἡμᾶς, ὠδῖωες ὡς τικτούσης.

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

θυγάτηρ λαοῦ μου, περίζωσαι σάκκον, κατάπασαι ἐν σποδῷ, πένθος ἀγαπητοῦ ποίησαι σεαυτῇ ⁷⁹ κοπετὸν οἰκτρόν, ὅτι ἐξέφωης ἤξει ταλαιπωρία ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς.

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

πάντες ἀνήκοοι, πορευόμενοι σκολιῶς· χαλκὸς καὶ σίδηρος, πάντες διεφθαρμένοι εἰσίν.

ἐξέλιπεν φυσητὴρ ἀπὸ πυρός, ἐξέλιπεν μόλιβος· εἰς κενὸν ἀργυροκόπος ἀργυροκοπεῖ, πονηρία αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐτάκη.

ἀργύριον ἀποδεδοκιμασμένον καλέσατε αὐτοὺς, ὅτι ἀπεδοκίμασεν αὐτοὺς 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.) — 6 focus

Flee for safety, you children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem; for evil looks forth from the north, and a great destruction.

The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.

Shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed everyone in his place.

Prepare you war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us! for the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.

Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.

For thus has Yahweh of Hosts said, Hew you down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.

As a well casts forth its waters, so she casts forth her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds.

Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you; lest I make you a desolation, a land not inhabited.

Thus says Yahweh of Hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn again your hand as a grape-gatherer into the baskets.

To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they can't listen: behold, the word of Yahweh is become to them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

Therefore I am full of the wrath of Yahweh; I am weary with holding in: pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.

Their houses shall be turned to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land, says Yahweh.

For from the least of them even to the greatest of them everyone is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.

They have healed also the hurt of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, says Yahweh.

Thus says Yahweh, Stand you in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk [therein].

I set watchmen over you, [saying], Listen to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not listen.

Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what is among them.

Hear, earth: behold, I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.

To what purpose comes there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.

Therefore thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will lay stumbling-blocks before this people; and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them; the neighbor and his friend shall perish.

Thus says Yahweh, Behold, a people comes from the north country; and a great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.

They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Zion.

We have heard the report of it; our hands wax feeble: anguish has taken hold of us, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail.

Don't go forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy, [and] terror, are on every side.

Daughter of my people, gird you with sackcloth, and wallow yourself in ashes: make you mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come on us.

I have made you a tester of metals [and] a fortress among my people; that you may know and try their way.

They are all grievous rebels, going about with slanders; they are brass and iron: they all of them deal corruptly.

The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed of the fire: in vain do they go on refining; for the wicked are not plucked away.

Refuse silver shall men them, because Yahweh has rejected them.
