KJV

1  At that¹⁹³¹ time,⁶²⁵⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ they shall bring out^{3318 853} the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ of his princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ of the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ of the prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and the bones⁶¹⁰⁶ of the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ out of their graves:^{4480 6913}

2  And they shall spread⁷⁸⁴⁹ them before the sun,⁸¹²¹ and the moon,³³⁹⁴ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the host⁶⁶³⁵ of heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ whom⁸³⁴ they have loved,¹⁵⁷ and whom⁸³⁴ they have served,⁵⁶⁴⁷ and after³¹⁰ whom⁸³⁴ they have walked,¹⁹⁸⁰ and whom⁸³⁴ they have sought,¹⁸⁷⁵ and whom⁸³⁴ they have worshiped:⁷⁸¹² they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be gathered,⁶²² nor³⁸⁰⁸ be buried;⁶⁹¹² they shall be¹⁹⁶¹ for dung¹⁸²⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the earth.¹²⁷

3  And death⁴¹⁹⁴ shall be chosen⁹⁷⁷ rather than life^{4480 2416} by all³⁶⁰⁵ the residue⁷⁶¹¹ of them that remain⁷⁶⁰⁴ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ this²⁰⁶³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ family,⁴⁹⁴⁰ which remain⁷⁶⁰⁴ in all³⁶⁰⁵ the places⁴⁷²⁵ whither^{834 8033} I have driven⁵⁰⁸⁰ them, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts.⁶⁶³⁵

4  Moreover thou shalt say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Shall they fall,⁵³⁰⁷ and not³⁸⁰⁸ arise?⁶⁹⁶⁵ shall he turn away,⁷⁷²⁵ and not³⁸⁰⁸ return?⁷⁷²⁵

5  Why⁴⁰⁶⁹ then is this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ slid back⁷⁷²⁵ by a perpetual⁵³²⁹ backsliding?⁴⁸⁷⁸ they hold fast²³⁸⁸ deceit,⁸⁶⁴⁹ they refuse³⁹⁸⁵ to return.⁷⁷²⁵

6  I hearkened⁷¹⁸¹ and heard,⁸⁰⁸⁵ but they spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ not³⁸⁰⁸ aright:³⁶⁵¹ no³⁶⁹ man³⁷⁶ repented⁵¹⁶² him of⁵⁹²¹ his wickedness,⁷⁴⁵¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ have I done?⁶²¹³ every one³⁶⁰⁵ turned⁷⁷²⁵ to his course,⁴⁷⁹⁴ as the horse⁵⁴⁸³ rusheth⁷⁸⁵⁷ into the battle.⁴⁴²¹

7  Yea,¹⁵⁷¹ the stork²⁶²⁴ in the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ knoweth³⁰⁴⁵ her appointed times;⁴¹⁵⁰ and the turtle⁸⁴⁴⁹ and the crane⁵⁴⁸³ and the swallow⁵⁶⁹³ observe^{8104 853} the time⁶²⁵⁶ of their coming;⁹³⁵ but my people⁵⁹⁷¹ know³⁰⁴⁵ not^{3808 853} the judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

8  How³⁴⁹ do ye say,⁵⁵⁹ We⁵⁸⁷ are wise,²⁴⁵⁰ and the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is with⁸⁵⁴ us? Lo,²⁰⁰⁹ certainly⁴⁰³ in vain⁸²⁶⁷ made⁶²¹³ he it; the pen⁵⁸⁴² of the scribes⁵⁶⁰⁸ is in vain.⁸²⁶⁷

9  The wise²⁴⁵⁰ men are ashamed,⁹⁵⁴ they are dismayed²⁸⁶⁵ and taken:³⁹²⁰ lo,²⁰⁰⁹ they have rejected³⁹⁸⁸ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and what⁴¹⁰⁰ wisdom²⁴⁵¹ is in them?

10  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ will I give^{5414 853} their wives⁸⁰² unto others,³¹² and their fields⁷⁷⁰⁴ to them that shall inherit³⁴²³ them: for³⁵⁸⁸ every one³⁶⁰⁵ from the least^{4480 6996} even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the greatest¹⁴¹⁹ is given to covetousness,^{1214 1215} from the prophet^{4480 5030} even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ every one³⁶⁰⁵ dealeth⁶²¹³ falsely.⁸²⁶⁷

11  For they have healed^{7495 853} the hurt⁷⁶⁶⁷ of the daughter¹³²³ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ slightly,⁷⁰⁴³ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ peace;⁷⁹⁶⁵ when there is no³⁶⁹ peace.⁷⁹⁶⁵

12  Were they ashamed⁹⁵⁴ when³⁵⁸⁸ they had committed⁶²¹³ abomination?⁸⁴⁴¹ nay,¹⁵⁷¹ they were not³⁸⁰⁸ at all ashamed,^{954 954} neither³⁸⁰⁸ could³⁰⁴⁵ they blush:³⁶³⁷ therefore³⁶⁵¹ shall they fall⁵³⁰⁷ among them that fall:⁵³⁰⁷ in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of their visitation⁶⁴⁸⁶ they shall be cast down,³⁷⁸² saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

13  I will surely consume^{5486 5486} them, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ there shall be no³⁶⁹ grapes⁶⁰²⁵ on the vine,¹⁶¹² nor³⁶⁹ figs⁸³⁸⁴ on the fig tree,⁸³⁸⁴ and the leaf⁵⁹²⁹ shall fade;⁵⁰³⁴ and the things that I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ them shall pass away⁵⁶⁷⁴ from them.

14  Why^{4100 5921} do we⁵⁸⁷ sit³⁴²⁷ still? assemble yourselves,⁶²² and let us enter⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the defensed⁴⁰¹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and let us be silent¹⁸²⁶ there:⁸⁰³³ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God⁴³⁰ hath put us to silence,¹⁸²⁶ and given us water⁴³²⁵ of gall⁷²¹⁹ to drink,⁸²⁴⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ we have sinned²³⁹⁸ against the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

15  We looked⁶⁹⁶⁰ for peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ but no³⁶⁹ good²⁸⁹⁶ came; and for a time⁶²⁵⁶ of health,⁴⁸³² and behold²⁰⁰⁹ trouble!¹²⁰⁵

16  The snorting⁵¹⁷⁰ of his horses⁵⁴⁸³ was heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ from Dan:^{4480 1835} the whole³⁶⁰⁵ land⁷⁷⁶ trembled⁷⁴⁹³ at the sound^{4480 6963} of the neighing⁴⁶⁸⁴ of his strong ones;⁴⁷ for they are come,⁹³⁵ and have devoured³⁹⁸ the land,⁷⁷⁶ and all⁴³⁹³ that is in it; the city,⁵⁸⁹² and those that dwell³⁴²⁷ therein.

17  For,³⁵⁸⁸ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will send⁷⁹⁷¹ serpents,⁵¹⁷⁵ cockatrices,⁶⁸⁴⁸ among you, which⁸³⁴ will not³⁶⁹ be charmed,³⁹⁰⁸ and they shall bite⁵³⁹¹ you, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

18  When I would comfort⁴⁰¹⁰ myself against⁵⁹²¹ sorrow,³⁰¹⁵ my heart³⁸²⁰ is faint¹⁷⁴² in⁵⁹²¹ me.

19  Behold²⁰⁰⁹ the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the cry⁷⁷⁷⁵ of the daughter¹³²³ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ because of them that dwell in a far⁴⁸⁰¹ country:^{4480 776} Is not³⁶⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in Zion?⁶⁷²⁶ is not³⁶⁹ her king⁴⁴²⁸ in her? Why⁴⁰⁶⁹ have they provoked me to anger³⁷⁰⁷ with their graven images,⁶⁴⁵⁶ and with strange⁵²³⁶ vanities?¹⁸⁹²

20  The harvest⁷¹⁰⁵ is past,⁵⁶⁷⁴ the summer⁷⁰¹⁹ is ended,³⁶¹⁵ and we⁵⁸⁷ are not³⁸⁰⁸ saved.³⁴⁶⁷

21  For⁵⁹²¹ the hurt⁷⁶⁶⁷ of the daughter¹³²³ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ am I hurt;⁷⁶⁶⁵ I am black;⁶⁹³⁷ astonishment⁸⁰⁴⁷ hath taken hold²³⁸⁸ on me.

22  Is there no³⁶⁹ balm⁶⁸⁷⁵ in Gilead;¹⁵⁶⁸ is there no³⁶⁹ physician⁷⁴⁹⁵ there?⁸⁰³³ why⁴⁰⁶⁹ then³⁵⁸⁸ is not³⁸⁰⁸ the health⁷²⁴ of the daughter¹³²³ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ recovered?⁵⁹²⁷

1 ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ λέγει κύριος ἐξοίσουσιν τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν βασιλέων Ιουδα καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν ἀρχόντων αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν προφητῶν καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ τῶν κατοικούντων Ιερουσαλημ ἐκ τῶν τάφων αὐτῶν

2 καὶ ψύξουσιν αὐτὰ πρὸς τὸν ἥλιον καὶ τὴν σελήνην καὶ πρὸς πάντας τοὺς ἀστέρας καὶ πρὸς πᾶσαν τὴν στρατιὰν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἃ ἠγάπησαν καὶ οἷς ἐδούλευσαν καὶ ὧν ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν καὶ ὧν ἀντείχοντο καὶ οἷς προσεκύνησαν αὐτοῖς οὐ κοπήσονται καὶ οὐ ταφήσονται καὶ ἔσονται εἰς παράδειγμα ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς

3 ὅτι εἵλοντο τὸν θάνατον ἢ τὴν ζωήν καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς καταλοίποις τοῖς καταλειφθεῖσιν ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ἐκείνης ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ οὗ ἐὰν ἐξώσω αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ

4 ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος μὴ ὁ πίπτων οὐκ ἀνίσταται ἢ ὁ ἀποστρέφων οὐκ ἐπιστρέφει

5 διὰ τί ἀπέστρεψεν ὁ λαός μου οὗτος ἀποστροφὴν ἀναιδῆ καὶ κατεκρατήθησαν ἐν τῇ προαιρέσει αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι

6 ἐνωτίσασθε δὴ καὶ ἀκούσατε οὐχ οὕτως λαλήσουσιν οὐκ ἔστιν ἄνθρωπος μετανοῶν ἀπὸ τῆς κακίας αὐτοῦ λέγων τί ἐποίησα διέλιπεν ὁ τρέχων ἀπὸ τοῦ δρόμου αὐτοῦ ὡς ἵππος κάθιδρος ἐν χρεμετισμῷ αὐτοῦ

7 καὶ ἡ ασιδα ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἔγνω τὸν καιρὸν αὐτῆς τρυγὼν καὶ χελιδών ἀγροῦ στρουθία ἐφύλαξαν καιροὺς εἰσόδων αὐτῶν ὁ δὲ λαός μου οὐκ ἔγνω τὰ κρίματα κυρίου

8 πῶς ἐρεῖτε ὅτι σοφοί ἐσμεν ἡμεῖς καὶ νόμος κυρίου ἐστὶν μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν εἰς μάτην ἐγενήθη σχοῖνος ψευδὴς γραμματεῦσιν

9 ᾐσχύνθησαν σοφοὶ καὶ ἐπτοήθησαν καὶ ἑάλωσαν ὅτι τὸν λόγον κυρίου ἀπεδοκίμασαν σοφία τίς ἐστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς

10 διὰ τοῦτο δώσω τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν ἑτέροις καὶ τοὺς ἀγροὺς αὐτῶν τοῖς κληρονόμοις

13 καὶ συνάξουσιν τὰ γενήματα αὐτῶν λέγει κύριος οὐκ ἔστιν σταφυλὴ ἐν ταῖς ἀμπέλοις καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν σῦκα ἐν ταῖς συκαῖς καὶ τὰ φύλλα κατερρύηκεν

14 ἐπὶ τί ἡμεῖς καθήμεθα συνάχθητε καὶ εἰσέλθωμεν εἰς τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυρὰς καὶ ἀπορριφῶμεν ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἀπέρριψεν ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπότισεν ἡμᾶς ὕδωρ χολῆς ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ

15 συνήχθημεν εἰς εἰρήνην καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀγαθά εἰς καιρὸν ἰάσεως καὶ ἰδοὺ σπουδή

16 ἐκ Δαν ἀκουσόμεθα φωνὴν ὀξύτητος ἵππων αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ φωνῆς χρεμετισμοῦ ἱππασίας ἵππων αὐτοῦ ἐσείσθη πᾶσα ἡ γῆ καὶ ἥξει καὶ καταφάγεται τὴν γῆν καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς πόλιν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν αὐτῇ

17 διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξαποστέλλω εἰς ὑμᾶς ὄφεις θανατοῦντας οἷς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπᾷσαι καὶ δήξονται ὑμᾶς

18 ἀνίατα μετ᾽ ὀδύνης καρδίας ὑμῶν ἀπορουμένης

19 ἰδοὺ φωνὴ κραυγῆς θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου ἀπὸ γῆς μακρόθεν μὴ κύριος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν Σιων ἢ βασιλεὺς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκεῖ διὰ τί παρώργισάν με ἐν τοῖς γλυπτοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν ματαίοις ἀλλοτρίοις

20 διῆλθεν θέρος παρῆλθεν ἄμητος καὶ ἡμεῖς οὐ διεσώθημεν

21 ἐπὶ συντρίμματι θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου ἐσκοτώθην ἀπορίᾳ κατίσχυσάν με ὠδῖνες ὡς τικτούσης

22 μὴ ῥητίνη οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν Γαλααδ ἢ ἰατρὸς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκεῖ διὰ τί οὐκ ἀνέβη ἴασις θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου

23 τίς δώσει κεφαλῇ μου ὕδωρ καὶ ὀφθαλμοῖς μου πηγὴν δακρύων καὶ κλαύσομαι τὸν λαόν μου τοῦτον ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός τοὺς τετραυματισμένους θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου

Vul

1 [In illo tempore, ait Dominus,
ejicient ossa regum Juda, et ossa principum ejus,
et ossa sacerdotum, et ossa prophetarum,
et ossa eorum qui habitaverunt Jerusalem,
de sepulchris suis:

2 et expandent ea ad solem, et lunam,
et omnem militiam cæli,
quæ dilexerunt, et quibus servierunt,
et post quæ ambulaverunt,
et quæ quæsierunt, et adoraverunt.
Non colligentur, et non sepelientur:
in sterquilinium super faciem terræ erunt.

3 Et eligent magis mortem quam vitam,
omnes qui residui fuerint de cognatione hac pessima,
in universis locis quæ derelicta sunt,
ad quæ ejeci eos, dicit Dominus exercituum.]

4 Et dices ad eos: [Hæc dicit Dominus:
Numquid qui cadit non resurget?
et qui aversus est non revertetur?

5 Quare ergo aversus est populus iste in Jerusalem
aversione contentiosa?
Apprehenderunt mendacium,
et noluerunt reverti.

6 Attendi, et auscultavi:
nemo quod bonum est loquitur;
nullus est qui agat pœnitentiam super peccato suo,
dicens: Quid feci?
Omnes conversi sunt ad cursum suum,
quasi equus impetu vadens ad prælium.

7 Milvus in cælo cognovit tempus suum:
turtur, et hirundo, et ciconia custodierunt tempus adventus sui:
populus autem meus non cognovit judicium Domini.

8 Quomodo dicitis: Sapientes nos sumus,
et lex Domini nobiscum est?
vere mendacium operatus est stylus mendax scribarum!

9 Confusi sunt sapientes;
perterriti et capti sunt:
verbum enim Domini projecerunt,
et sapientia nulla est in eis.

10 Propterea dabo mulieres eorum exteris,
agros eorum hæredibus,
quia a minimo usque ad maximum
omnes avaritiam sequuntur:
a propheta usque ad sacerdotem
cuncti faciunt mendacium.

11 Et sanabant contritionem filiæ populi mei ad ignominiam,
dicentes: Pax, pax!
cum non esset pax.

12 Confusi sunt, quia abominationem fecerunt:
quinimmo confusione non sunt confusi,
et erubescere nescierunt.
Idcirco cadent inter corruentes:
in tempore visitationis suæ corruent, dicit Dominus.

13 Congregans congregabo eos, ait Dominus.
Non est uva in vitibus, et non sunt ficus in ficulnea:
folium defluxit,
et dedi eis quæ prætergressa sunt.

14 Quare sedemus?
convenite, et ingrediamur civitatem munitam,
et sileamus ibi:
quia Dominus Deus noster silere nos fecit,
et potum dedit nobis aquam fellis:
peccavimus enim Domino.

15 Exspectavimus pacem, et non erat bonum:
tempus medelæ, et ecce formido.

16 A Dan auditus est fremitus equorum ejus;
a voce hinnituum pugnatorum ejus commota est omnis terra:
et venerunt, et devoraverunt terram et plenitudinem ejus;
urbem et habitatores ejus.

17 Quia ecce ego mittam vobis serpentes regulos,
quibus non est incantatio:
et mordebunt vos, ait Dominus.

18 Dolor meus super dolorem,
in me cor meum mœrens.

19 Ecce vox clamoris filiæ populi mei de terra longinqua:
Numquid Dominus non est in Sion?
aut rex ejus non est in ea?
Quare ergo me ad iracundiam concitaverunt in sculptilibus suis,
et in vanitatibus alienis?

20 Transiit messis, finita est æstas,
et nos salvati non sumus.

21 Super contritione filiæ populi mei contritus sum, et contristatus:
stupor obtinuit me.

22 Numquid resina non est in Galaad?
aut medicus non est ibi?
quare igitur non est obducta cicatrix filiæ populi mei?]
