1  Woe¹⁹⁴⁵ be unto the pastors⁷⁴⁶² that destroy⁶ and scatter^{6327 853} the sheep⁶⁶²⁹ of my pasture!⁴⁸³⁰ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

2  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ the pastors⁷⁴⁶² that feed^{7462 853} my people;⁵⁹⁷¹ Ye⁸⁵⁹ have scattered^{6327 853} my flock,⁶⁶²⁹ and driven them away,⁵⁰⁸⁰ and have not³⁸⁰⁸ visited⁶⁴⁸⁵ them: behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ you ⁸⁵³ the evil⁷⁴⁵⁵ of your doings,⁴⁶¹¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

3  And I⁵⁸⁹ will gather^{6908 853} the remnant⁷⁶¹¹ of my flock⁶⁶²⁹ out of all^{4480 3605} countries⁷⁷⁶ whither^{834 8033} I have driven⁵⁰⁸⁰ them, and will bring them again^{7725 853} to⁵⁹²¹ their folds;⁵¹¹⁶ and they shall be fruitful⁶⁵⁰⁹ and increase.⁷²³⁵

4  And I will set up⁶⁹⁶⁵ shepherds⁷⁴⁶² over⁵⁹²¹ them which shall feed⁷⁴⁶² them: and they shall fear³³⁷² no³⁸⁰⁸ more,⁵⁷⁵⁰ nor³⁸⁰⁸ be dismayed,²⁸⁶⁵ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall they be lacking,⁶⁴⁸⁵ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

5  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the days³¹¹⁷ come,⁹³⁵ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that I will raise⁶⁹⁶⁵ unto David¹⁷³² a righteous⁶⁶⁶² Branch,⁶⁷⁸⁰ and a King⁴⁴²⁸ shall reign⁴⁴²⁷ and prosper,⁷⁹¹⁹ and shall execute⁶²¹³ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ and justice⁶⁶⁶⁶ in the earth.⁷⁷⁶

6  In his days³¹¹⁷ Judah³⁰⁶³ shall be saved,³⁴⁶⁷ and Israel³⁴⁷⁸ shall dwell⁷⁹³¹ safely:⁹⁸³ and this²⁰⁸⁸ is his name⁸⁰³⁴ whereby⁸³⁴ he shall be called,⁷¹²¹ THE LORD³⁰⁶⁸ OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.⁶⁶⁶⁴

7  Therefore,³⁶⁵¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the days³¹¹⁷ come,⁹³⁵ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that they shall no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ say,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ which⁸³⁴ brought up^{5927 853} the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ out of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt;⁴⁷¹⁴

8  But,^{3588 518} The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ which⁸³⁴ brought up⁵⁹²⁷ and which⁸³⁴ led^{935 853} the seed²²³³ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ out of the north⁶⁸²⁸ country,^{4480 776} and from all^{4480 3605} countries⁷⁷⁶ whither^{834 8033} I had driven⁵⁰⁸⁰ them; and they shall dwell³⁴²⁷ in⁵⁹²¹ their own land.¹²⁷

9  Mine heart³⁸²⁰ within⁷¹³⁰ me is broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ because of the prophets;⁵⁰³⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ my bones⁶¹⁰⁶ shake;⁷³⁶³ I am¹⁹⁶¹ like a drunken⁷⁹¹⁰ man,³⁷⁶ and like a man¹³⁹⁷ whom wine³¹⁹⁶ hath overcome,⁵⁶⁷⁴ because^{4480 6440} of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and because^{4480 6440} of the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of his holiness.⁶⁹⁴⁴

10  For³⁵⁸⁸ the land⁷⁷⁶ is full⁴³⁹⁰ of adulterers;⁵⁰⁰³ for³⁵⁸⁸ because^{4480 6440} of swearing⁴²³ the land⁷⁷⁶ mourneth;⁵⁶ the pleasant places⁴⁹⁹⁹ of the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ are dried up,³⁰⁰¹ and their course⁴⁷⁹⁴ is¹⁹⁶¹ evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ and their force¹³⁶⁹ is not³⁸⁰⁸ right.³⁶⁵¹

11  For³⁵⁸⁸ both¹⁵⁷¹ prophet⁵⁰³⁰ and¹⁵⁷¹ priest³⁵⁴⁸ are profane;²⁶¹⁰ yea,¹⁵⁷¹ in my house¹⁰⁰⁴ have I found⁴⁶⁷² their wickedness,⁷⁴⁵¹ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

12  Wherefore³⁶⁵¹ their way¹⁸⁷⁰ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ unto them as slippery²⁵¹⁹ ways in the darkness:⁶⁵³ they shall be driven on,¹⁷⁶⁰ and fall⁵³⁰⁷ therein: for³⁵⁸⁸ I will bring⁹³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ them, even the year⁸¹⁴¹ of their visitation,⁶⁴⁸⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

13  And I have seen⁷²⁰⁰ folly⁸⁶⁰⁴ in the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of Samaria;⁸¹¹¹ they prophesied⁵⁰¹² in Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ and caused ⁸⁵³ my people^{5971 853} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to err.⁸⁵⁸²

14  I have seen⁷²⁰⁰ also in the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ a horrible thing:⁸¹⁸⁶ they commit adultery,⁵⁰⁰³ and walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in lies:⁸²⁶⁷ they strengthen²³⁸⁸ also the hands³⁰²⁷ of evildoers,⁷⁴⁸⁹ that none^{1115 376} doth return⁷⁷²⁵ from his wickedness:^{4480 7451} they are¹⁹⁶¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ of them unto me as Sodom,⁵⁴⁶⁷ and the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ thereof as Gomorrah.⁶⁰¹⁷

15  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ concerning⁵⁹²¹ the prophets;⁵⁰³⁰ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will feed³⁹⁸ them with wormwood,³⁹³⁹ and make them drink⁸²⁴⁸ the water⁴³²⁵ of gall:⁷²¹⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ from^{4480 854} the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ is profaneness²⁶¹³ gone forth³³¹⁸ into all³⁶⁰⁵ the land.⁷⁷⁶

16  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ Hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ not⁴⁰⁸ unto⁵⁹²¹ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ that prophesy⁵⁰¹² unto you: they make you vain:^{1891 853} they¹⁹⁹² speak¹⁶⁹⁶ a vision²³⁷⁷ of their own heart,³⁸²⁰ and not³⁸⁰⁸ out of the mouth^{4480 6310} of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

17  They say still^{559 559} unto them that despise⁵⁰⁰⁶ me, The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath said,¹⁶⁹⁶ Ye shall have¹⁹⁶¹ peace;⁷⁹⁶⁵ and they say⁵⁵⁹ unto every one³⁶⁰⁵ that walketh¹⁹⁸⁰ after the imagination⁸³⁰⁷ of his own heart,³⁸²⁰ No³⁸⁰⁸ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ shall come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ you.

18  For³⁵⁸⁸ who⁴³¹⁰ hath stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the counsel⁵⁴⁷⁵ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and hath perceived⁷²⁰⁰ and heard^{8085 853} his word?¹⁶⁹⁷ who⁴³¹⁰ hath marked⁷¹⁸¹ his word,¹⁶⁹⁷ and heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it?

19  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ a whirlwind⁵⁵⁹¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is gone forth³³¹⁸ in fury,²⁵³⁴ even a grievous²³⁴² whirlwind:⁵⁵⁹¹ it shall fall grievously²³⁴² upon⁵⁹²¹ the head⁷²¹⁸ of the wicked.⁷⁵⁶³

20  The anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ return,⁷⁷²⁵ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ he have executed,⁶²¹³ and till⁵⁷⁰⁴ he have performed⁶⁹⁶⁵ the thoughts⁴²⁰⁹ of his heart:³⁸²⁰ in the latter³¹⁹ days³¹¹⁷ ye shall consider⁹⁹⁵ it perfectly.⁹⁹⁸

21  I have not³⁸⁰⁸ sent^{7971 853} these prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ yet they¹⁹⁹² ran:⁷³²³ I have not³⁸⁰⁸ spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ them, yet they¹⁹⁹² prophesied.⁵⁰¹²

22  But if⁵¹⁸ they had stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in my counsel,⁵⁴⁷⁵ and had caused ⁸⁵³ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ to hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ my words,¹⁶⁹⁷ then they should have turned⁷⁷²⁵ them from their evil⁷⁴⁵¹ way,^{4480 1870} and from the evil^{4480 7455} of their doings.⁴⁶¹¹

23  Am I⁵⁸⁹ a God⁴³⁰ at hand,^{4480 7138} saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and not³⁸⁰⁸ a God⁴³⁰ afar off?^{4480 7350}

24  Can⁵¹⁸ any³⁷⁶ hide himself⁵⁶⁴¹ in secret places⁴⁵⁶⁵ that I⁵⁸⁹ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ see⁷²⁰⁰ him? saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ Do not³⁸⁰⁸ I⁵⁸⁹ fill^{4390 853} heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ and earth?⁷⁷⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

25  I have heard^{8085 853} what⁸³⁴ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ said,⁵⁵⁹ that prophesy⁵⁰¹² lies⁸²⁶⁷ in my name,⁸⁰³⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹ I have dreamed,²⁴⁹² I have dreamed.²⁴⁹²

26  How long^{5704 4970} shall this be³⁴²⁶ in the heart³⁸²⁰ of the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ that prophesy⁵⁰¹² lies?⁸²⁶⁷ yea, they are prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of the deceit⁸⁶⁴⁹ of their own heart;³⁸²⁰

27  Which think²⁸⁰³ to cause ⁸⁵³ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ to forget⁷⁹¹¹ my name⁸⁰³⁴ by their dreams²⁴⁷² which⁸³⁴ they tell⁵⁶⁰⁸ every man³⁷⁶ to his neighbor,⁷⁴⁵³ as⁸³⁴ their fathers¹ have forgotten^{7911 853} my name⁸⁰³⁴ for Baal.¹¹⁶⁸

28  The prophet⁵⁰³⁰ that^{834 854} hath a dream,²⁴⁷² let him tell⁵⁶⁰⁸ a dream;²⁴⁷² and he that^{834 854} hath my word,¹⁶⁹⁷ let him speak¹⁶⁹⁶ my word¹⁶⁹⁷ faithfully.⁵⁷¹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ is the chaff⁸⁴⁰¹ to⁸⁵⁴ the wheat?¹²⁵⁰ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

29  Is not³⁸⁰⁸ my word¹⁶⁹⁷ like³⁵⁴¹ as a fire?⁷⁸⁴ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and like a hammer⁶³⁶⁰ that breaketh⁶³²⁷ the rock⁵⁵⁵³ in pieces?

30  Therefore,³⁶⁵¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I am against⁵⁹²¹ the prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that steal¹⁵⁸⁹ my words¹⁶⁹⁷ every one³⁷⁶ from^{4480 854} his neighbor.⁷⁴⁵³

31  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I am against⁵⁹²¹ the prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that use³⁹⁴⁷ their tongues,³⁹⁵⁶ and say,⁵⁰⁰¹ He saith.⁵⁰⁰²

32  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I am against⁵⁹²¹ them that prophesy⁵⁰¹² false⁸²⁶⁷ dreams,²⁴⁷² saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and do tell⁵⁶⁰⁸ them, and cause ⁸⁵³ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ to err⁸⁵⁸² by their lies,⁸²⁶⁷ and by their lightness;⁶³⁵⁰ yet I⁵⁹⁵ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ them not,³⁸⁰⁸ nor³⁸⁰⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ them: therefore they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ profit this people at all,^{3276 3276 5971 2088} saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

33  And when³⁵⁸⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ people,⁵⁹⁷¹ or¹⁷⁶ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ or¹⁷⁶ a priest,³⁵⁴⁸ shall ask⁷⁵⁹² thee, saying,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ is the burden⁴⁸⁵³ of the LORD?³⁰⁶⁸ thou shalt then say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, ⁸⁵³ What⁴¹⁰⁰ burden?⁴⁸⁵³ I will even forsake⁵²⁰³ you, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

34  And as for the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ and the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ shall say,⁵⁵⁹ The burden⁴⁸⁵³ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ I will even punish^{6485 5921} that¹⁹³¹ man³⁷⁶ and his house.¹⁰⁰⁴

35  Thus³⁵⁴¹ shall ye say⁵⁵⁹ every one³⁷⁶ to⁵⁹²¹ his neighbor,⁷⁴⁵³ and every one³⁷⁶ to⁴¹³ his brother,²⁵¹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ answered?⁶⁰³⁰ and, What⁴¹⁰⁰ hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spoken?¹⁶⁹⁶

36  And the burden⁴⁸⁵³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall ye mention²¹⁴² no³⁸⁰⁸ more:⁵⁷⁵⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ every man's³⁷⁶ word¹⁶⁹⁷ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ his burden;⁴⁸⁵³ for ye have perverted^{2015 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the living²⁴¹⁶ God,⁴³⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ our God.⁴³⁰

37  Thus³⁵⁴¹ shalt thou say⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ What⁴¹⁰⁰ hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ answered⁶⁰³⁰ thee? and, What⁴¹⁰⁰ hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spoken?¹⁶⁹⁶

38  But since⁵¹⁸ ye say,⁵⁵⁹ The burden⁴⁸⁵³ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Because³²⁸² ye say^{559 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ word,¹⁶⁹⁷ The burden⁴⁸⁵³ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and I have sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ you, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ say,⁵⁵⁹ The burden⁴⁸⁵³ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸

39  Therefore,³⁶⁵¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I, even I, will utterly forget^{5382 5382} you, and I will forsake⁵²⁰³ you, and the city⁵⁸⁹² that⁸³⁴ I gave⁵⁴¹⁴ you and your fathers,¹ and cast you out of^{4480 5921} my presence:⁶⁴⁴⁰

40  And I will bring⁵⁴¹⁴ an everlasting⁵⁷⁶⁹ reproach²⁷⁸¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ you, and a perpetual⁵⁷⁶⁹ shame,³⁶⁴⁰ which⁸³⁴ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be forgotten.⁷⁹¹¹

1 ὦ οἱ ποιμένες οἱ διασκορπίζοντες καὶ ἀπολλύοντες τὰ πρόβατα τῆς νομῆς μου

2 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐπὶ τοὺς ποιμαίνοντας τὸν λαόν μου ὑμεῖς διεσκορπίσατε τὰ πρόβατά μου καὶ ἐξώσατε αὐτὰ καὶ οὐκ ἐπεσκέψασθε αὐτά ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐκδικῶ ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς κατὰ τὰ πονηρὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ὑμῶν

3 καὶ ἐγὼ εἰσδέξομαι τοὺς καταλοίπους τοῦ λαοῦ μου ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς γῆς οὗ ἐξῶσα αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ καὶ καταστήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν νομὴν αὐτῶν καὶ αὐξηθήσονται καὶ πληθυνθήσονται

4 καὶ ἀναστήσω αὐτοῖς ποιμένας οἳ ποιμανοῦσιν αὐτούς καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσονται ἔτι οὐδὲ πτοηθήσονται λέγει κύριος

5 ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται λέγει κύριος καὶ ἀναστήσω τῷ Δαυιδ ἀνατολὴν δικαίαν καὶ βασιλεύσει βασιλεὺς καὶ συνήσει καὶ ποιήσει κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

6 ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ σωθήσεται Ιουδας καὶ Ισραηλ κατασκηνώσει πεποιθώς καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ὃ καλέσει αὐτὸν κύριος Ιωσεδεκ

9 ἐν τοῖς προφήταις συνετρίβη ἡ καρδία μου ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐσαλεύθη πάντα τὰ ὀστᾶ μου ἐγενήθην ὡς ἀνὴρ συντετριμμένος καὶ ὡς ἄνθρωπος συνεχόμενος ἀπὸ οἴνου ἀπὸ προσώπου κυρίου καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου εὐπρεπείας δόξης αὐτοῦ

10 ὅτι ἀπὸ προσώπου τούτων ἐπένθησεν ἡ γῆ ἐξηράνθησαν αἱ νομαὶ τῆς ἐρήμου καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ δρόμος αὐτῶν πονηρὸς καὶ ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτῶν οὐχ οὕτως

11 ὅτι ἱερεὺς καὶ προφήτης ἐμολύνθησαν καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου εἶδον πονηρίας αὐτῶν

12 διὰ τοῦτο γενέσθω ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν αὐτοῖς εἰς ὀλίσθημα ἐν γνόφῳ καὶ ὑποσκελισθήσονται καὶ πεσοῦνται ἐν αὐτῇ διότι ἐπάξω ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς κακὰ ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἐπισκέψεως αὐτῶν φησὶν κύριος

13 καὶ ἐν τοῖς προφήταις Σαμαρείας εἶδον ἀνομήματα ἐπροφήτευσαν διὰ τῆς Βααλ καὶ ἐπλάνησαν τὸν λαόν μου Ισραηλ

14 καὶ ἐν τοῖς προφήταις Ιερουσαλημ ἑώρακα φρικτά μοιχωμένους καὶ πορευομένους ἐν ψεύδεσι καὶ ἀντιλαμβανομένους χειρῶν πονηρῶν τοῦ μὴ ἀποστραφῆναι ἕκαστον ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς ἐγενήθησάν μοι πάντες ὡς Σοδομα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες αὐτὴν ὥσπερ Γομορρα

15 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ψωμιῶ αὐτοὺς ὀδύνην καὶ ποτιῶ αὐτοὺς ὕδωρ πικρόν ὅτι ἀπὸ τῶν προφητῶν Ιερουσαλημ ἐξῆλθεν μολυσμὸς πάσῃ τῇ γῇ

16 οὕτως λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ μὴ ἀκούετε τοὺς λόγους τῶν προφητῶν ὅτι ματαιοῦσιν ἑαυτοῖς ὅρασιν ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτῶν λαλοῦσιν καὶ οὐκ ἀπὸ στόματος κυρίου

17 λέγουσιν τοῖς ἀπωθουμένοις τὸν λόγον κυρίου εἰρήνη ἔσται ὑμῖν καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς πορευομένοις τοῖς θελήμασιν αὐτῶν παντὶ τῷ πορευομένῳ πλάνῃ καρδίας αὐτοῦ εἶπαν οὐχ ἥξει ἐπὶ σὲ κακά

18 ὅτι τίς ἔστη ἐν ὑποστήματι κυρίου καὶ εἶδεν τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τίς ἐνωτίσατο καὶ ἤκουσεν

19 ἰδοὺ σεισμὸς παρὰ κυρίου καὶ ὀργὴ ἐκπορεύεται εἰς συσσεισμόν συστρεφομένη ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς ἥξει

20 καὶ οὐκέτι ἀποστρέψει ὁ θυμὸς κυρίου ἕως ἂν ποιήσῃ αὐτὸ καὶ ἕως ἂν ἀναστήσῃ αὐτὸ ἀπὸ ἐγχειρήματος καρδίας αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾽ ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν νοήσουσιν αὐτά

21 οὐκ ἀπέστελλον τοὺς προφήτας καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔτρεχον οὐκ ἐλάλησα πρὸς αὐτούς καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐπροφήτευον

22 καὶ εἰ ἔστησαν ἐν τῇ ὑποστάσει μου καὶ εἰσήκουσαν τῶν λόγων μου καὶ τὸν λαόν μου ἂν ἀπέστρεφον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν πονηρῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων αὐτῶν

23 θεὸς ἐγγίζων ἐγώ εἰμι λέγει κύριος καὶ οὐχὶ θεὸς πόρρωθεν

24 εἰ κρυβήσεται ἄνθρωπος ἐν κρυφαίοις καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ ὄψομαι αὐτόν μὴ οὐχὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν ἐγὼ πληρῶ λέγει κύριος

25 ἤκουσα ἃ λαλοῦσιν οἱ προφῆται ἃ προφητεύουσιν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου ψευδῆ λέγοντες ἠνυπνιασάμην ἐνύπνιον

26 ἕως πότε ἔσται ἐν καρδίᾳ τῶν προφητῶν τῶν προφητευόντων ψευδῆ καὶ ἐν τῷ προφητεύειν αὐτοὺς τὰ θελήματα καρδίας αὐτῶν

27 τῶν 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 Βααλ

28 ὁ προφήτης ἐν ᾧ τὸ ἐνύπνιόν ἐστιν διηγησάσθω τὸ ἐνύπνιον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ᾧ ὁ λόγος μου πρὸς αὐτόν διηγησάσθω τὸν λόγον μου ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας τί τὸ ἄχυρον πρὸς τὸν σῖτον οὕτως οἱ λόγοι μου λέγει κύριος

29 οὐχὶ οἱ λόγοι μου ὥσπερ πῦρ φλέγον λέγει κύριος καὶ ὡς πέλυξ κόπτων πέτραν

30 διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πρὸς τοὺς προφήτας λέγει κύριος ὁ θεός τοὺς κλέπτοντας τοὺς λόγους μου ἕκαστος παρὰ τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ

31 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πρὸς τοὺς προφήτας τοὺς ἐκβάλλοντας προφητείας γλώσσης καὶ νυστάζοντας νυσταγμὸν ἑαυτῶν

32 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πρὸς τοὺς προφήτας τοὺς προφητεύοντας ἐνύπνια ψευδῆ καὶ 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 ὠφελήσουσιν τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον

33 καὶ ἐὰν ἐρωτήσωσί σε ὁ λαὸς οὗτος ἢ ἱερεὺς ἢ προφήτης λέγων τί τὸ λῆμμα κυρίου καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς ἐστε τὸ λῆμμα καὶ ῥάξω ὑμᾶς λέγει κύριος

34 καὶ ὁ προφήτης καὶ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ ὁ λαός οἳ ἂν εἴπωσιν λῆμμα κυρίου καὶ ἐκδικήσω τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐκεῖνον καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ

35 ὅτι οὕτως ἐρεῖτε ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ τί ἀπεκρίθη κύριος καὶ τί ἐλάλησεν κύριος

36 καὶ λῆμμα κυρίου μὴ ὀνομάζετε ἔτι ὅτι τὸ λῆμμα τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ἔσται ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ

37 καὶ διὰ τί ἐλάλησεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν

38 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεός ἀνθ᾽ ὧν εἴπατε τὸν λόγον τοῦτον λῆμμα κυρίου καὶ ἀπέστειλα πρὸς ὑμᾶς λέγων οὐκ ἐρεῖτε λῆμμα κυρίου

39 διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ λαμβάνω καὶ ῥάσσω ὑμᾶς καὶ τὴν πόλιν ἣν ἔδωκα ὑμῖν καὶ τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν

40 καὶ δώσω ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ὀνειδισμὸν αἰώνιον καὶ ἀτιμίαν αἰώνιον ἥτις οὐκ ἐπιλησθήσεται

7 διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται λέγει κύριος καὶ οὐκ ἐροῦσιν ἔτι ζῇ κύριος ὃς ἀνήγαγεν τὸν οἶκον Ισραηλ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου

8 ἀλλά ζῇ κύριος ὃς συνήγαγεν ἅπαν τὸ σπέρμα Ισραηλ ἀπὸ γῆς βορρᾶ καὶ ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν χωρῶν οὗ ἐξῶσεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ καὶ ἀπεκατέστησεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν

Vul

1 [Væ pastoribus qui disperdunt et dilacerant
gregem pascuæ meæ! dicit Dominus.

2 Ideo hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël
ad pastores qui pascunt populum meum:
Vos dispersistis gregem meum,
et ejecistis eos, et non visitastis eos:
ecce ego visitabo super vos
malitiam studiorum vestrorum, ait Dominus.

3 Et ego congregabo reliquias gregis mei
de omnibus terris ad quas ejecero eos illuc:
et convertam eos ad rura sua,
et crescent et multiplicabuntur.

4 Et suscitabo super eos pastores, et pascent eos:
non formidabunt ultra, et non pavebunt,
et nullus quæretur ex numero, dicit Dominus.]

5 [Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus,
et suscitabo David germen justum:
et regnabit rex, et sapiens erit,
et faciet judicium et justitiam in terra.

6 In diebus illis salvabitur Juda,
et Israël habitabit confidenter:
et hoc est nomen quod vocabunt eum:
Dominus justus noster.

7 Propter hoc ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus,
et non dicent ultra: Vivit Dominus,
qui eduxit filios Israël de terra Ægypti,

8 sed: Vivit Dominus,
qui eduxit et adduxit semen domus Israël de terra aquilonis,
et de cunctis terris ad quas ejeceram eos illuc,
et habitabunt in terra sua.]

9 Ad prophetas: [Contritum est cor meum in medio mei;
contremuerunt omnia ossa mea:
factus sum quasi vir ebrius,
et quasi homo madidus a vino,
a facie Domini,
et a facie verborum sanctorum ejus.

10 Quia adulteris repleta est terra,
quia a facie maledictionis luxit terra,
arefacta sunt arva deserti:
factus est cursus eorum malus,
et fortitudo eorum dissimilis.

11 Propheta namque et sacerdos polluti sunt,
et in domo mea inveni malum eorum, ait Dominus.

12 Idcirco via eorum erit quasi lubricum in tenebris:
impellentur enim, et corruent in ea:
afferam enim super eos mala,
annum visitationis eorum, ait Dominus.

13 Et in prophetis Samariæ vidi fatuitatem:
prophetabant in Baal,
et decipiebant populum meum Israël.

14 Et in prophetis Jerusalem vidi similitudinem adulterantium,
et iter mendacii:
et confortaverunt manus pessimorum,
ut non converteretur unusquisque a malitia sua:
facti sunt mihi omnes ut Sodoma,
et habitatores ejus quasi Gomorrha.

15 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum ad prophetas:
Ecce ego cibabo eos absinthio,
et potabo eos felle:
a prophetis enim Jerusalem egressa est pollutio
super omnem terram.

16 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum:
Nolite audire verba prophetarum
qui prophetant vobis, et decipiunt vos:
visionem cordis sui loquuntur,
non de ore Domini.

17 Dicunt his qui blasphemant me:
Locutus est Dominus: Pax erit vobis:
et omni qui ambulat in pravitate cordis sui dixerunt:
Non veniet super vos malum.

18 Quis enim affuit in consilio Domini,
et vidit, et audivit sermonem ejus?
quis consideravit verbum illius, et audivit?

19 Ecce turbo Dominicæ indignationis egredietur,
et tempestas erumpens super caput impiorum veniet.

20 Non revertetur furor Domini,
usque dum faciat et usque dum compleat cogitationem cordis sui:
in novissimis diebus intelligetis consilium ejus.

21 Non mittebam prophetas,
et ipsi currebant:
non loquebar ad eos,
et ipsi prophetabant.

22 Si stetissent in consilio meo,
et nota fecissent verba mea populo meo,
avertissem utique eos a via sua mala,
et a cogitationibus suis pessimis.

23 Putasne Deus e vicino ego sum, dicit Dominus,
et non Deus de longe?

24 Si occultabitur vir in absconditis,
et ego non videbo eum? dicit Dominus.
Numquid non cælum et terram ego impleo? dicit Dominus.

25 Audivi quæ dixerunt prophetæ
prophetantes in nomine meo mendacium,
atque dicentes: Somniavi, somniavi.

26 Usquequo istud est in corde prophetarum vaticinantium mendacium,
et prophetantium seductiones cordis sui?

27 Qui volunt facere ut obliviscatur populus meus nominis mei,
propter somnia eorum quæ narrat unusquisque ad proximum suum,
sicut obliti sunt patres eorum nominis mei propter Baal?

28 Propheta qui habet somnium,
narret somnium:
et qui habet sermonem meum,
loquatur sermonem meum vere.
Quid paleis ad triticum? dicit Dominus.

29 Numquid non verba mea sunt quasi ignis, dicit Dominus,
et quasi malleus conterens petram?

30 Propterea ecce ego ad prophetas, ait Dominus,
qui furantur verba mea unusquisque a proximo suo.

31 Ecce ego ad prophetas, ait Dominus,
qui assumunt linguas suas, et aiunt: Dicit Dominus.

32 Ecce ego ad prophetas somniantes mendacium, ait Dominus,
qui narraverunt ea, et seduxerunt populum meum
in mendacio suo et in miraculis suis,
cum ego non misissem eos, nec mandassem eis:
qui nihil profuerunt populo huic, dicit Dominus.

33 Si igitur interrogaverit te populus iste,
vel propheta, aut sacerdos, dicens:
Quod est onus Domini?
dices ad eos: Vos estis onus:
projiciam quippe vos, dicit Dominus.

34 Et propheta, et sacerdos, et populus
qui dicit: Onus Domini:
visitabo super virum illum et super domum ejus.

35 Hæc dicetis unusquisque ad proximum,
et ad fratrem suum:
Quid respondit Dominus?
et quid locutus est Dominus?

36 Et onus Domini ultra non memorabitur:
quia onus erit unicuique sermo suus,
et pervertistis verba Dei viventis,
Domini exercituum, Dei nostri.

37 Hæc dices ad prophetam:
Quid respondit tibi Dominus?
et quid locutus est Dominus?

38 Si autem onus Domini dixeritis,
propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus:
Quia dixistis sermonem istum: Onus Domini,
et misi ad vos dicens: Nolite dicere: Onus Domini:

39 propterea ecce ego tollam vos portans,
et derelinquam vos,
et civitatem quam dedi vobis et patribus vestris,
a facie mea:

40 et dabo vos in opprobrium sempiternum,
et in ignominiam æternam,
quæ numquam oblivione delebitur.]
