2καὶ ἐν τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ ἔτει τοῦ Σεδεκία, ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ τετάρτῳ, ἐνάτῃ τοῦ μηνός, ἐρράγη ἡ πόλις.
2Against Egypt, against the army of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Charcamis, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon defeated, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda.

15Why are thy valiant men come to nothing? they stood not: because the Lord hath overthrown them.
16πορεύου καὶ εἰπὲ πρὸς Ἀβδεμέλεχ τὸν Αἰθίοπα· οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω τοὺς λόγους μου ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην εἰς κακὰ καὶ οὐκ εἰς ἀγαθά,
16He hath multiplied them that fall, and one hath fallen upon another, and they shall say: Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land our nativity, from the sword of the dove.
17καὶ σώσω σε ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ οὐ μὴ δώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὧν σὺ φοβῇ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν,
17Call ye the name of Pharao king Egypt, a tumult time hath brought.
18ὅτι σώζων σώσω σε, καὶ ἐν ρομφαίᾳ οὐ μὴ πέσῃς. καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχή σου εἰς εὕρημα, ὅτι ἐπεποίθεις ἐπ' ἐμοί, φησὶ Κύριος.
