Cursed be the day wherein I was born: the day wherein my mother brought me forth, let it not be blessed.
Greek · SeptuagintἘπικατάρατος ἡ ἡμέρα ἐν ᾗ ἐτέχθην ἐν αὐτῇ· ἡ ἡμέρα ἐν ᾗ ἔτεκέν με ἡ μήτηρ μου, μὴ ἔστω ἐπευκτή.
Hebrew / Jewish
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament)
Jeremiah
Cursed be the man who brought the glad tidings to my father, saying, A male child is born to thee.
Greek · SeptuagintἘπικατάρατος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ εὐαγγελισάμενος τῷ πατρί μου λέγων, ἐτέχθη σοι ἄρσην· εὐφραινόμενος
Let that man rejoice as the cities which the Lord overthrew in wrath, and repented not: let him hear crying in the morning, and loud lamentation at noon;
Greek · Septuagintἔστω ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος, ὡς αἱ πόλεις ἃς κατέστρεψε Κύριος ἐν θυμῷ καὶ οὐ μετεμελήθη· ἀκουσάτω κραυγῆς τῷ πρωὶ, καὶ ἀλαλαγμοῦ μεσημβρίας,
because he slew me not in the womb, and my mother became not my tomb, and her womb always great with me.
Greek · Septuagintὅτι οὐκ ἀπέκτεινέ με ἐν μήτρᾳ, καὶ ἐγένετό μοι ἡ μήτηρ μου τάφος μου, καὶ ἡ μήτρα συλλήψεως αἰωνίας.
Why is it that I came forth of the womb to see troubles and distresses, and my days are spent in shame?
Greek · SeptuagintἹνατί τοῦτο ἐξῆλθον ἐκ μήτρας, τοῦ βλέπειν κόπους καὶ πόνους, καὶ διετέλεσαν ἐν αἰσχύνῃ αἱ ἡμέραι μου;
The Word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, when King Sedekias sent to him Paschor the Son of Melchias, and Sophonias Son of Basæas, the Priest, saying,
Greek · SeptuagintὉ ΛΟΓΟΣ Ὁ ΓΕΝΟΜΕΝΟΣ ΠΑΡΑ ΚΥΡΙΟΥ ΠΡΟΣ ἹΕΡΕΜΙΑΝ, ὍΤΕ ἈΠΕΣΤΕΙΛΕ ΠΡΟΣ ΑΥΤΟΝ Ὁ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΣΕΔΕΚΙΑΣ ΤΟΝ ΠΑΣΧΩΡ ΥΙΟΝ ΜΕΓΧΙΟΥ, ΚΑΙ ΣΟΦΟΝΙΑΝ ΥΙΟΝ ΒΑΣΑΙΟΥ ΤΟΝ ἹΕΡΕΑ, ΛΕΓΩΝ,
Enquire of the Lord for us; for the king of Babylon has risen up against us; if the Lord will do according to all his wonderful works, and [the king] shall depart from us.
Greek · Septuagintἐπερώτησον περὶ ἡμῶν τὸν Κύριον· ὅτι βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐφέστηκεν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς· εἰ ποιήσει Κύριος κατὰ πάντα τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπελεύσεται ἀφʼ ἡμῶν.
And Jeremias said to them, Thus shall ye say to Sedekias king of Juda,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἱερεμίας, οὕτως ἐρεῖτε πρὸς Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα,
Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] turn back the weapons of war wherewith ye fight against the Chaldeans that have besieged you from outside the wall, and I will gather them into the midst of this city.
Greek · Septuagintτὰδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ μεταστρέφω τὰ ὅπλα τὰ πολεμικὰ, ἐν οἷς ὑμεῖς πολεμεῖτε ἐν αὐτοῖς πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους τοὺς συγκεκλεικότας ὑμᾶς ἔξωθεν τοῦ τείχους· καὶ συνάξω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ μέσον τῆς πόλεως ταύτης,
And I will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, with wrath and great anger.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ πολεμήσω ἐγὼ ὑμᾶς ἐν χειρὶ ἐκτεταμένῃ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι κραταιῷ μετὰ θυμοῦ καὶ ὀργῆς μεγάλης.
And I will smite all the dwellers in this city, [both] men and cattle, with grievous pestilence: and they shall die.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ πατάξω πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ, τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ τὰ κτήνη ἐν θανάτῳ μεγάλῳ, καὶ ἀποθανοῦνται.
And after this, thus saith the Lord; I will give Sedekias king of Juda, and his servants, and the people that is left in this city from the pestilence, and from the famine, and from the sword, into the hands of their enemies, that seek their lives: and they shall cut them in pieces with the edge of the sword: I will not spare them, and I will not have compassion upon them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ μετὰ ταῦτα οὕτως λέγει Κύριος, δώσω τὸν Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα, καὶ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν λαὸν καταλειφθέντα ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ θανάτου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ λιμοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς μαχαίρας, εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, τῶν ζητούντων τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ κατακόψουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐν στόματι μαχαίρας· οὐ φείσομαι ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς, καὶ οὐ μὴ οἰκτειρήσω αὐτούς.
And thou shalt say to this people, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I have set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ἐρεῖς, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δέδωκα πρὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς ζωῆς, καὶ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ θανάτου.
He that remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by famine: but he that goes forth to advance to the Chaldeans that have besieged you, shall live, and his life shall be to him for a spoil, and he shall live.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ καθήμενος ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ, ἀποθανεῖται ἐν μαχαίρᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ· καὶ ὁ ἐκπορευόμενος προσχωρῆσαι πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους τοὺς συγκεκλεικότας ὑμᾶς, ζήσεται, καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς σκῦλα, καὶ ζήσεται.
For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good: it shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall consume it with fire.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιότι ἐστήρικα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην εἰς κακὰ, καὶ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθά· εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος παραδοθήσεται, καὶ κατακαύσει αὐτὴν ἐν πυρί.
O house of the king of Juda, hear ye the word of the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ οἶκος βασιλέως Ἰούδα, ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου.
O house of David, thus saith the Lord; Judge judgment in the morning, and act rightly, and rescue the spoiled one from the hand of him that wrongs him, lest mine anger be kindled like fire, and it burn, and there be none to quench [it].
Greek · SeptuagintΟἶκος Δαυὶδ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, κρίνατε πρωῒ κρίμα, καὶ κατευθύνατε, καὶ ἐξέλεσθε διηρπασμένον ἐκ χειρὸς ἀδικοῦντος αὐτὸν, ὅπως μὴ ἀναφθῇ ὡς πῦρ ἡ ὀργή μου, καὶ καυθήσεται, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ σβέσων.
Behold, I am against thee that dwellest in the valley of Sor; in the plain country, [even against] them that say, Who shall alarm us? or who shall enter into our habitation?
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ ἐγὼ πρὸς σὲ τὸν κατοικοῦντα τὴν κοιλάδα σὸρ, τὴν πεδεινὴν, τοὺς λέγοντας, τίς πτοήσει ἡμᾶς; ἢ τίς εἰσελεύσεται πρὸς τὸ κατοικητήριον ἡμῶν;
And I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀνάψω πῦρ ἐν τῷ δρυμῷ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔδεται πάντα τὰ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς.
Thus saith the Lord; Go thou, and go down to the house of the king of Juda, and thou shalt speak there this word,
Greek · SeptuagintΤάδε λέγει Κύριος, πορεύου καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰούδα, καὶ λαλήσεις ἐκεῖ τὸν λόγον τοῦτον,
and thou shalt say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sittest on the throne of David, thou, and thy house, and thy people, and they that go in at these gates:
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐρεῖς, Ἄκουε λόγον Κυρίου βασιλεῦ Ἰούδα, ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυὶδ, σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου καὶ ὁ λαός σου, καὶ οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι ταῖς πύλαις ταύταις·
thus saith the Lord; Execute ye judgment and justice, and rescue the spoiled out of the hand of him that wrongs him: and oppress not the stranger, and orphan, and widow, and sin not, and shed no innocent blood in this place.
Greek · SeptuagintΤάδε λέγει Κύριος, ποιεῖτε κρίσιν καὶ δικαιοσύνην, καὶ ἐξαιρεῖσθε διηρπασμένον ἐκ χειρὸς ἀδικοῦντος αὐτὸν, καὶ προσήλυτον καὶ ὀρφανὸν καὶ χήραν μὴ καταδυναστεύετε, καὶ μὴ ἀσεβεῖτε, καὶ αἷμα ἀθῶον μὴ ἐκχέητε ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ.
For if ye will indeed perform this word, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they, and their servants, and their people.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιότι ἐὰν ποιοῦντες ποιήσητε τὸν λόγον τοῦτον, καὶ εἰσελεύσονται ἐν ταῖς πύλαις τοῦ οἴκου τούτου βασιλεῖς καθήμενοι ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐπιβεβηκότες ἐφʼ ἁρμάτων καὶ ἵππων, αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτῶν, καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτῶν.
But if ye will not perform these words, by myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, that this house shall be [brought] to desolation.
Greek · SeptuagintἘὰν δὲ μὴ ποιήσητε τοὺς λόγους τούτους, κατʼ ἐμαυτοῦ ὤμοσα, λέγει Κύριος, ὅτι εἰς ἐρήμωσιν ἔσται ὁ οἶκος οὗτος.
For thus saith the Lord concerning the house of the king of Juda; Thou art Galaad to me, [and] the head of Libanus: [yet] surely I will make thee a desert, [even] cities that shall not be inhabited:
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος κατὰ τοῦ οἴκου βασιλέως Ἰούδα, Γαλαὰδ σύ μοι ἀρχὴ τοῦ Λιβάνου, ἐὰν μὴ θῶ σε εἰς ἔρημον, πόλεις μὴ κατοικηθησομένας,
and I will bring upon thee a destroying man, and his axe: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐπάξω ἐπὶ σὲ ὀλοθρεύοντα ἄνδρα, καὶ τὸν πέλεκυν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκκόψουσι τὰς ἐκλεκτὰς κέδρους σου, καὶ ἐμβαλοῦσιν εἰς τὸ πῦρ.
And nations shall pass through this city, and each shall say to his neighbour, Why has the Lord done thus to this great city?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ διελεύσονται ἔθνη διὰ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης, καὶ ἐρεῖ ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ, διατί ἐποίησε Κύριος οὕτως τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ τῇ μεγάλῃ;
And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped strange gods, and served them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐροῦσιν, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπον τὴν διαθήκην Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτῶν, καὶ προσεκύνησαν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτοῖς.
Weep not for the dead, nor lament for him: weep bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native land.
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ κλαίετε τὸν τεθνηκότα, μηδὲ θρηνεῖτε αὐτόν· κλαύσατε κλαυθμῷ τὸν ἐκπορευόμενον, ὅτι οὐκ ἐπιστρέψει ἔτι, οὐδὲ ὄψεται τὴν γῆν πατρίδος αὐτοῦ.
For thus saith the Lord concerning Sellem the son of Josias, who reigns in the place of Josias his father, who has gone forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
Greek · SeptuagintΔιότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος ἐπὶ Σελλὴμ υἱὸν Ἰωσία τὸν βασιλεύοντα ἀντὶ Ἰωσίου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ὃς ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου τούτου· οὐκ ἀναστρέψει ἐκεῖ ἔτι,
but in that place whither I have carried him captive, there shall he die, and shall see this land no more.
Greek · Septuagintἀλλʼ ἢ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ οὗ μετῴκισα αὐτὸν, ἐκεῖ ἀποθανεῖται, καὶ τὴν γῆν ταύτην οὐκ ὄψεται ἔτι.
He that builds his house not with justice, and his upper chambers not with judgment, who works by means of his neighbour for nothing, and will by no means give him his reward.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ οἰκοδομῶν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ οὐ μετὰ δικαιοσύνης, καὶ τὰ ὑπερῷα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐν κρίματι, παρὰ τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἐργᾶται δωρεὰν, καὶ τὸν μισθὸν αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἀποδώσει αὐτῷ.
Thou hast built for thyself a well-proportioned house, airy chambers, fitted with windows, and wainscoted with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
Greek · SeptuagintὨκοδόμησας σεαυτῷ οἶκον σύμμετρον, ὑπερῷα ῥιπιστὰ διεσταλμένα θυρίσι, καὶ ἐξυλωμένα ἐν κέδρῳ, καὶ κεχρισμένα ἐν μίλτῳ.
Shalt thou reign, because thou art provoked with thy father Achaz? they shall not eat, and they shall not drink: it is better for thee to execute judgment and justice.
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ βασιλεύσῃς, ὅτι σὺ παροξυνῇ ἐν Ἄχαζ τῷ πατρί σου; οὐ φάγονται, καὶ οὐ πίονται· βέλτιόν σε ποιεῖν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην.
They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor: is not this thy not knowing me? saith the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐκ ἔγνωσαν, οὐκ ἔκριναν κρίσιν ταπεινῷ, οὐδὲ κρίσιν πένητος· οὐ τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ μὴ γηῶναί σε ἐμὲ; λέγει Κύριος.
Behold, thine eyes are not good, nor thine heart, but [they go] after thy covetousness, and after the innocent blood to shed it, and after acts of injustice and slaughter, to commit them.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ οὐκ εἰσὶν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου, οὐδὲ ἡ καρδία σου καλὴ, ἀλλὰ εἰς τὴν πλεονεξίαν σου, καὶ εἰς τὸ αἷμα τὸ ἀθῶον τοῦ ἐκχέαι αὐτὸ, καὶ εἰς ἀδικήματα καὶ εἰς φόνον, τοῦ ποιεῖν αὐτά.
Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Joakim son of Josias, king of Juda, even concerning this man; they shall not bewail him, [saying], Ah brother! neither shall they at all weep for him, [saying], Alas Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος ἐπὶ Ἰωακεὶμ υἱὸν Ἰωσία βασιλέα Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον, οὐ κόψονται αὐτὸν, ὦ ἀδελφὲ, οὐδὲ μὴ κλαύσονται αὐτὸν, οἴμοι Κύριε.
He shall be buried with the burial of an ass; he shall be dragged roughly along and cast outside the gate of Jerusalem.
Greek · SeptuagintΤαφὴν ὄνου ταφήσεται, συμψησθεὶς ῥιφήσεται ἐπέκεινα τῆς πύλης Ἱερουσαλήμ.
Go up to Libanus, and cry; and utter thy voice to Basan, and cry aloud to the extremity of the sea: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
Greek · SeptuagintἈνάβηθι εἰς τὸν Λίβανον, καὶ κράξον, καὶ εἰς τὴν Βασὰν δὸς τὴν φωνήν σου, καὶ βόησον εἰς τὸ πέρας τῆς θαλάσσης, ὅτι συνετρίβησαν πάντες οἱ ἐρασταί σου.
I spoke to thee on [occasion of] thy trespass, but thou saidst, I will not hearken. This [has been] thy way from thy youth, thou hast not hearkened to my voice.
Greek · SeptuagintἘλάλησα πρὸς σὲ ἐν τῇ παραπτώσει σου, καὶ εἶπας, οὐκ ἀκούσομαι· αὕτη ἡ ὁδός σου ἐκ νεότητός σου, οὐκ ἤκουσας τῆς φωνῆς μου.
The wind shall tend all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity; for then shalt thou be ashamed and disgraced because of all thy lovers.
Greek · SeptuagintΠάντας τοὺς ποιμένας σου ποιμανεῖ ἄνεμος, καὶ οἱ ἐρασταί σου ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ ἐξελεύσονται, ὅτι τότε αἰσχυνθήσῃ καὶ ἀτιμωθήσῃ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν φιλούντων σε.
O thou that dwellest in Libanus, making thy nest in the cedars, thou shalt groan heavily, when pangs as of a travailing woman are come upon thee.
Greek · SeptuagintΚατοικοῦσα ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ, ἐννοσσεύουσα ἐν ταῖς κέδροις, καταστενάξεις ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν σοι ὀδύνας ὡς τικτούσης.
[As] I live, saith the Lord, though Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda were indeed the seal upon my right hand, thence would I pluck thee;
Greek · SeptuagintΖῶ ἐγὼ, λέγει Κύριος, ἐὰν γενόμενος γένηται Ἰεχονίας υἱὸς Ἰωακεὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα ἀποσφράγισμα ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς τῆς δεξιᾶς μου, ἐκεῖθεν ἐκσπάσω σε,
and I will deliver thee into the hands of them that seek thy life, before whom thou art afraid, into the hands of the Chaldeans.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ παραδώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ζητούντων τὴν ψυχήν σου, ὧν σὺ εὐλαβῇ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, εἰς χεῖρας τῶν Χαλδαίων,
And I will cast forth thee, and thy mother that bore thee, into a land where thou wast not born; and there ye shall die.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἀποῤῥίψω σε καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου τὴν τεκοῦσάν σε εἰς γῆν, οὗ οὐκ ἐτέχθης ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἀποθανεῖσθε·
But they shall by no means return to the land which they long for in their souls.
Greek · SeptuagintΕἰς δὲ τὴν γῆν ἣν αὐτοὶ εὔχονται ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν, οὐ μὴ ἀποστρέψωσιν.
Jechonias is dishonoured as a good-for-nothing vessel; for he is thrown out and cast forth into a land which he knew not.
Greek · SeptuagintἨτιμώθη Ἰεχονίας ὡς σκεῦος οὗ οὐκ ἔστι χρεία αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐξεῤῥίφη, καὶ ἐξεβλήθη εἰς γῆν ἣν οὐκ ᾔδει.
Land, land, hear the word of the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΓῆ, γῆ ἄκουε λόγον Κυρίου,
Write ye this man an outcast: for there shall none of his seed at all grow up to sit on the throne of David, [or as] a prince yet in Juda.
Greek · Septuagintγράψον τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον ἐκκήρυκτον ἄνθρωπον, ὅτι οὐ μὴ αὐξηθῇ ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυὶδ, ἄρχων ἔτι ἐν τῷ Ἰούδα.
Woe to the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of their pasture!
Greek · SeptuagintὪ ποιμένες οἱ ἀπολλύοντες καὶ διασκορπίζοντες τὰ πρόβατα τῆς νομῆς αὐτῶν.
Therefore thus saith the Lord against them that tend my people; Ye have scattered my sheep, and driven them out, and ye have not visited them: behold, I [will] take vengeance upon you according to your evil practices.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος ἐπὶ τοὺς ποιμαίνοντας τὸν λαόν μου, ὑμεῖς διεσκορπίσατε τὰ πρόβατά μου, καὶ ἐξώσατε αὐτὰ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπεσκέψασθε αὐτὰ, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐκδικῶ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς κατὰ τὰ πονηρὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ὑμῶν.
And I will gather in the remnant of my people in every land, whither I have driven them out, and will set them in their pasture; and they shall increase and be multiplied.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγὼ εἰσδέξομαι τοὺς καταλοίπους τοῦ λαοῦ μου ἐπὶ πάσης τῆς γῆς, οὗ ἔξωσα αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ, καὶ καταστήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν νομὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ αὐξηθήσονται, καὶ πληθυνθήσονται.
And I will raise up shepherds to them, who shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be alarmed, saith the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀναστήσω αὐτοῖς ποιμένας, οἳ ποιμανοῦσιν αὐτοὺς, καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσονται ἔτι, οὐδὲ πτοηθήσονται, λέγει Κύριος.
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will raise up to David a righteous branch, and a king shall reign and understand, and shall execute judgment and righteousness on the earth.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ἀναστήσω τῷ Δαυὶδ ἀνατολὴν δικαίαν, καὶ βασιλεύσει βασιλεὺς, καὶ συνήσει, καὶ ποιήσει κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
In his days both Juda shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell securely: and this is his name, which the Lord shall call him, Josedec among the prophets.
Greek · SeptuagintἘν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ καὶ σωθήσεται Ἰούδας, καὶ Ἰσραὴλ κατασκηνώσει πεποιθὼς, καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, ὃ καλέσει αὐτὸν Κύριος, Ἰωσεδὲκ ἐν τοῖς προφήταις.
My heart is broken within me; all my bones are shaken: I am become as a broken-down man, and as a man overcome with wine, because of the Lord, and because of the excellence of his glory.
Greek · SeptuagintΣυνετρίβη ἡ καρδία μου ἐν ἐμοὶ, ἐσαλεύθη πάντα τὰ ὀστᾶ μου, ἐγενήθην ὡς ἀνὴρ συντετριμμένος, καὶ ὡς ἄνθρωπος συνεχόμενος ἀπὸ οἶνου ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου εὐπρεπείας δόξης αὐτοῦ.
For because of these things the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up; and their course is become evil, and so [also] their strength.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἀπὸ προσώπου τούτων ἐπένθησεν ἡ γῆ, ἐξηράνθησαν αἱ νομαὶ τῆς ἐρήμου· καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ δρόμος αὐτῶν πονηρὸς, καὶ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτῶν οὕτως.
For priest and prophet are defiled; and I have seen their iniquities in my house.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἱερεὺς καὶ προφήτης ἐμολύνθησαν, καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου εἶδον πονηρίας αὐτῶν.
Therefore let their way be to them slippery and dark: and they shall be tripped up and fall in it: for I will bring evils upon them, in the year of their visitation.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιατοῦτο γενέσθω ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν αὐτοῖς εἰς ὀλίσθημα ἐν γνόφῳ, καὶ ὑποσκελισθήσονται, καὶ πεσοῦνται ἐν αὐτῇ· διότι ἐπάξω ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς κακὰ, ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἐπισκέψεως αὐτῶν.
And in the prophets of Samaria I have seen lawless deeds; they prophesied by Baal, and led my people Israel astray.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐν τοῖς προφήταις Σαμαρείας εἶδον ἀνομήματα· ἐπροφήτευσαν διὰ τῆς Βάαλ, καὶ ἐπλάνησαν τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραήλ.
Also in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen horrible things: as they committed adultery, and walked in lies, and strengthened the hands of many, that they should not return each from his evil way: they are all become to me as Sodoma, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrha.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐν τοῖς προφήταις Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἑώρακα φρικτὰ, μοιχωμένους, καὶ πορευομένους ἐν ψεύδεσι, καὶ ἀντιλαμβανομένους χειρῶν πολλῶν, τοῦ μὴ ἀποστραφῆναι ἕκαστον ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς· ἐγενήθησάν μοι πάντες ὡς Σόδομα, καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες αὐτὴν ὥσπερ Γόμοῤῥα.
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will feed them with pain, and give them bitter water to drink: for from the prophets of Jerusalem has defilement gone forth [into] all the land.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ψωμιῶ αὐτοὺς ὀδύνην, καὶ ποτιῶ αὐτοὺς ὕδωρ πικρὸν, ὅτι ἀπὸ τῶν προφητῶν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐξῆλθε μολυσμὸς πάσῃ τῇ γῇ.
Thus saith the Lord Almighty, Hearken not to the words of the prophets: for they frame a vain vision for themselves; they speak from their own heart, and not from the mouth of the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτως λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, μὴ ἀκούετε τοὺς λόγους τῶν προφητῶν, ὅτι ματαιοῦσιν ἑαυτοῖς ὅρασιν, ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτῶν λαλοῦσι, καὶ οὐκ ἀπὸ στόματος Κυρίου.
They say to them that reject the word of the Lord, There shall be peace to you; and to all that walk after their own lusts, and to every one that walks in the error of his heart, they have said, No evil shall come upon thee.
Greek · SeptuagintΛέγουσι τοῖς ἀπωθουμένοις τὸν λόγον Κυρίου, εἰρήνη ἔσται ὑμῖν, καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς πορευομένοις τοῖς θελήμασιν αὐτῶν, καὶ παντὶ τῷ πορευομένῳ πλάνῃ καρδίας αὐτοῦ, εἶπαν, οὐχ ἥξει ἐπὶ σὲ κακά.
For who has stood in the counsel of the Lord, and seen his word? who has hearkened, and heard?
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι τίς ἔστη ἐν ὑποστήματι Κυρίου, καὶ εἶδε τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ; τίς ἠνωτίσατο, καὶ ἤκουσεν;
Behold, [there is] an earthquake from the Lord, and anger proceeds to a convulsion, it shall come violently upon the ungodly.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ σεισμὸς παρὰ Κυρίου, καὶ ὀργὴ ἐκπορεύεται εἰς συσσεισμὸν, συστρεφομένη ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς ἥξει.
And the Lord's wrath shall return no more, until he have accomplished it, and until he have established it, according to the purpose of his heart: at the end of the days they shall understand it.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐκ ἔτι ἀποστρέψει ὁ θυμὸς Κυρίου, ἕως ποιήσῃ αὐτὸ, καὶ ἕως ἂν στήσῃ αὐτὸ, ἀπὸ ἐγχειρήματος καρδίας αὐτοῦ· ἐπʼ ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν νοήσουσιν αὐτό.
I sent not the prophets, yet they ran: neither spoke I to them, yet they prophesied.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐκ ἀπέστελλον τοὺς προφήτας, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔτρεχον· οὐδὲ ἐλάλησα πρὸς αὐτοὺς, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐπροφήτευον.
But if they had stood in my counsel, and if they had hearkened to my words, then would they have turned my people from their evil practices.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἰ ἔστησαν ἐν τῇ ὑποστάσει μου, καὶ εἰ ἤκουσαν τῶν λόγων μου, καὶ τὸν λαόν μου ἂν ἀπέστρεφον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν πονηρῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων αὐτῶν.
I am a God nigh at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off.
Greek · SeptuagintΘεὸς ἐγγίζων ἐγώ εἰμι, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ οὐχὶ Θεὸς πόῤῥωθεν.
Shall any one hide himself in secret places, and I not see him? Do I not fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΕἰ κρυβήσεταί τις ἐν κρυφαίοις, καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ ὄψομαι αὐτόν; μὴ οὐχὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν ἐγὼ πληρῶ; λέγει Κύριος.
I have heard what the prophets say, what they prophesy in my name, saying falsely, I have seen a night vision.
Greek · SeptuagintἬκουσα ἃ λαλοῦσιν οἱ προφῆται, ἃ προφητεύουσιν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ψευδῆ λέγοντες, ἠνυπνιασάμην ἐνύπνιον.
How long shall [these things] be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, when they prophesy the purposes of their own heart?
Greek · SeptuagintἝως πότε ἔσται ἐν καρδίᾳ τῶν προφητῶν τῶν προφητευόντων ψευδῆ, ἐν τῷ προφητεύειν αὐτοὺς τὰ θελήματα τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν,
who devise that [men] may forget my law by their dreams, which they have told every one to his neighbour, as their fathers forgot my name in [the worship of] Baal.
Greek · Septuagintτῶν λογιζομένων τοῦ ἐπιλαθέσθαι τοῦ νόμου μου ἐν τοῖς ἐνυπνίοις αὐτῶν, ἃ διηγοῦντο ἕκαστος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καθάπερ ἐπελάθοντο οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν τοῦ ὀνόματός μου ἐν τῇ Βάαλ;
The prophet who has a dream, let him tell his dream; and [he] in whom is my word [spoken] to him, let him tell my word truly: what is the chaff to the corn? so are my words, saith the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ προφήτης ἐν ᾧ τὸ ἐνύπνιόν ἐστι, διηγησάσθω τὸ ἐνύπνιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν ᾧ ὁ λόγος μου πρὸς αὐτὸν, διηγησάσθω τὸν λόγον μου ἐπʼ ἀληθείας· τί τὸ ἄχυρον πρὸς τὸν σῖτον; οὕτως οἱ λόγοι μου, λέγει Κύριος.
Behold, are not my words as fire? saith the Lord; and as an axe cutting the rock?
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐκ ἰδοὺ οἱ λόγοι μου, ὥσπερ πῦρ, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ὡς πέλυξ κόπτων πέτραν;
Behold, I am therefore against the prophets, saith the Lord God, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ ἐγὼ διατοῦτο πρὸς τοὺς προφήτας, λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς, τοὺς κλέπτοντας τοὺς λόγους μου ἕκαστον παρὰ τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ.
Behold, I am against the prophets that put forth prophecies of mere words, and slumber their sleep.
Greek · SeptuagintἸδοὺ ἐγὼ πρὸς τοὺς προφήτας τοὺς ἐκβάλλοντας προφητείας γλώσσης, καὶ νυστάζοντας νυσταγμὸν αὐτῶν.
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets that prophesy false dreams, and have not told them [truly], and have caused my people to err by their lies, and by their errors; yet I sent them not, and commanded them not; therefore, they shall not profit this people at all.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιατοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πρὸς τοὺς προφήτας τοὺς προφητεύοντας ἐνύπνια ψευδῆ, καὶ οὐ διηγοῦντο αὐτὰ, καὶ ἐπλάνησαν τὸν λαόν μου ἐν τοῖς ψεύδεσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν τοῖς πλάνοις αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ ἀπέστειλα αὐτοὺς, καὶ οὐκ ἐνετειλάμην αὐτοῖς, καὶ ὠφέλειαν οὐκ ὠφελήσουσι τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον.
And if this people, or the priest, or the prophet, should ask, What is the burden of the Lord? then thou shalt say to them, Ye are the burden, and I will dash you down, saith the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐὰν ἐρωτήσωσιν ὁ λαὸς οὗτος, ἢ ἱερεὺς, ἢ προφήτης, τί τὸ λῆμμα Κυρίου; καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς, ὑμεῖς ἐστε τὸ λῆμμα, καὶ ῥάξω ὑμᾶς, λέγει Κύριος.
[As for] the prophet, and the priests, and the people, who shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even take vengeance on that man, and on his house.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ προφήτης, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ ὁ λαὸς, οἳ ἂν εἴπωσι, λῆμμα Κυρίου, καὶ ἐκδικήσω τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐκεῖνον, καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What has the Lord answered? and, what has the Lord said?
Greek · SeptuagintΟὕτως ἐρεῖτε ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, τί ἀπεκρίθη Κύριος, καὶ τί ἐλάλησε Κύριος;
And do ye name no more the burden of the Lord; for his own word shall be a man's burden.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ λῆμμα Κυρίου μὴ ὀνομάζετε ἔτι, ὅτι τὸ λῆμμα τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἔσται ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ.
But wherefore, [say ye], has the Lord our God spoken?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ διατί ἐλάλησε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν;
Therefore thus saith the Lord our God; Because ye have spoken this word, The burden of the Lord, and I sent to you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord;
Greek · SeptuagintΔιατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἄνθʼ ὧν εἴπατε τὸν λόγον τοῦτον, λῆμμα Κυρίου, καὶ ἀπέστειλα πρὸς ὑμᾶς, λέγων, οὐκ ἐρεῖτε, λῆμμα Κυρίου·
therefore, behold, I [will] seize, and dash down you and the city which I gave to you and your fathers.
Greek · Septuagintδιατοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ λαμβάνω, καὶ ῥάσσω ὑμᾶς, καὶ τὴν πόλιν ἣν ἔδωκα ὑμῖν καὶ τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν.
And I will bring upon you an everlasting reproach, and everlasting disgrace, which shall not be forgotten.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ δώσω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ὀνειδισμὸν αἰώνιον, καὶ ἀτιμίαν αἰώνιον, ἥτις οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται.
The Lord shewed me two baskets of figs, lying in front of the temple of the Lord, after Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried captive Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda, and the princes, and the artificers, and the prisoners, and the rich men out of Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Greek · SeptuagintἜδειξέ μοι Κύριος δύο καλάθους σύκων, κειμένους κατὰ πρόσωπον ναοῦ Κυρίου, μετὰ τὸ ἀποικίσαι Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος τὸν Ἰεχονίαν υἱὸν Ἰωακεὶμ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας, καὶ τοὺς τεχνίτας, καὶ τοὺς δεσμώτας, καὶ τοὺς πλουσίους ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.
The one basket was [full] of very good figs, as the early figs; and the other basket was [full] of very bad figs, which could not be eaten, for their badness.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ κάλαθος ὁ εἷς σύκων χρηστῶν σφόδρα, ὡς τὰ σύκα τὰ πρώϊμα· καὶ ὁ κάλαθος ὁ ἕτερος σύκων πονηρῶν σφόδρα, ἃ οὐ βρωθήσεται ἀπὸ πονηρίας αὐτῶν.
And the Lord said to me, What seest thou, Jeremias? and I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, for their badness.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, τί σὺ ὁρᾷς Ἱερεμία; καὶ εἶπα, σύκα· σύκα τὰ χρηστὰ, χρηστὰ λίαν· καὶ τὰ πονηρὰ, πονηρὰ λίαν, ἃ οὐ βρωθήσεται ἀπὸ πονηρίας αὐτῶν.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; As these good figs, so will I acknowledge the Jews that have been carried away captive, whom I have sent forth out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for good.
Greek · SeptuagintΤάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ὡς τὰ σύκα τὰ χρηστὰ ταῦτα, οὕτως ἐπιγνώσομαι τοὺς ἀποικισθέντας Ἰουδαίους, οὓς ἐξαπέσταλκα ἐκ τοῦ τόπου τούτου εἰς γῆν Χαλδαίων εἰς ἀγαθά.
And I will fix mine eyes upon them for good, and I will restore them into this land for good: and I will build them up, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ στηριῶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς εἰς ἀγαθὰ, καὶ ἀποκαταστήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην εἰς ἀγαθά· καὶ ἀνοικοδομήσω αὐτοὺς, καὶ οὐ μὴ καθελῶ αὐτοὺς, καὶ καταφυτεύσω αὐτοὺς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκτίλω.
And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a God: for they shall turn to me with all their heart.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ δώσω αὐτοῖς καρδίαν τοῦ εἰδέναι αὐτοὺς ἐμὲ, ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος, καὶ ἔσονταί μου εἰς λαὸν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεὸν, ὅτι ἐπιστραφήσονται ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν.
And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, for their badness; thus saith the Lord, So will I deliver Sedekias king of Juda, and his nobles, and the remnant of Jerusalem, them that are left in this land, and the dwellers in Egypt.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ὡς τὰ σύκα τὰ πονηρὰ, ἃ οὐ βρωθήσονται ἀπὸ πονηρίας αὐτῶν, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οὕτως παραδώσω τὸν Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα, καὶ τοὺς μεγιστᾶνας αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον Ἱερουσαλὴμ τοὺς ὑπολελειμμένους ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ, καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ.
And I will cause them to be dispersed into all the kingdoms of the earth, and they shall be for a reproach, and a proverb, and an [object of] hatred, and a curse, in every place whither I have driven them out.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς διασκορπισμὸν εἰς πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν, καὶ εἰς παραβολὴν, καὶ εἰς μῖσος, καὶ εἰς κατάραν ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ οὗ ἔξωσα αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ.
And I will send against them famine, and pestilence, and the sword, until they are consumed from off the land which I gave them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀποστελῶ εἰς αὐτοὺς τὸν λιμὸν, καὶ τὸν θάνατον, καὶ τὴν μάχαιραν, ἕως ἂν ἐκλείπωσιν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἧς ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς.
The Word that came to Jeremias concerning all the people of Juda in the fourth year of Joakim, son of Josias, king of Juda;
Greek · SeptuagintὉ ΛΟΓΟΣ Ὁ ΓΕΝΟΜΕΝΟΣ ΠΡΟΣ ἹΕΡΕΜΙΑΝ ἐπὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν Ἰούδα ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τετάρτῳ τοῦ Ἰωακεὶμ υἱοῦ Ἰωσία βασιλέως Ἰούδα,
which he spoke to all the people of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
Greek · Septuagintὃν ἐλάλησε πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαὸν Ἰούδα, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἱερουσαλὴμ, λέγων,
In the thirteenth year of Josias, son of Amos, king of Juda, even until this day for three and twenty years, I have both spoken to you, rising early and speaking,
Greek · SeptuagintἘν τρισκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει Ἰωσία υἱοῦ Ἀμὼς βασιλέως Ἰούδα, καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης εἴκοσι καὶ τρία ἔτη, καὶ ἐλάλησα πρὸς ὑμᾶς ὀρθρίζων, καὶ λέγων,
