King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΠΕΡΙΔΡΑΜΕΤΕ ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἴδετε καὶ γνῶτε καὶ ζητήσατε ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις αὐτῆς, ἐὰν εὕρητε ἄνδρα, εἰ ἔστι ποιῶν κρίμα καὶ ζητῶν πίστιν, καὶ ἵλεως ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς, λέγει Κύριος.
1Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
2ζῇ Κύριος, λέγουσι· διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐν ψεύδεσιν ὀμνύουσι;
2And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.
3Κύριε, οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου εἰς πίστιν· ἐμαστίγωσας αὐτούς, καὶ οὐκ ἐπόνεσαν, συνετέλεσας αὐτούς, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν δέξασθαι παιδείαν· ἐστερέωσαν τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ πέτραν καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν ἐπιστραφῆναι.
3O LORD , are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
4καὶ ἐγὼ εἶπα· ἴσως πτωχοί εἰσι, διότι οὐκ ἐδυνάσθησαν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὁδὸν Κυρίου καὶ κρίσιν Θεοῦ·
4Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD , nor the judgment of their God.
5πορεύσομαι πρὸς τοὺς ἁδροὺς καὶ λαλήσω αὐτοῖς, ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἐπέγνωσαν ὁδὸν Κυρίου καὶ κρίσιν Θεοῦ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁμοθυμαδὸν συνέτριψαν ζυγόν, διέρρηξαν δεσμούς.
5I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD , and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6διὰ τοῦτο ἔπαισεν αὐτοὺς λέων ἐκ τοῦ δρυμοῦ, καὶ λύκος ἕως τῶν οἰκιῶν ὠλόθρευσεν αὐτούς, καὶ πάρδαλις ἐγρηγόρησεν ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν· πάντες οἱ ἐκπορευόμενοι ἀπ' αὐτῶν θηρευθήσονται, ὅτι ἐπλήθυναν ἀσεβείας αὐτῶν, ἴσχυσαν ἐν ταῖς ἀποστροφαῖς αὐτῶν.
6Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7ποίᾳ τούτων ἵλεως γένωμαί σοι; οἱ υἱοί σου ἐγκατέλιπόν με καὶ ὤμνυον ἐν τοῖς οὐκ οὖσι θεοῖς· καὶ ἐχόρτασα αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐμοιχῶντο καὶ ἐν οἴκοις πορνῶν κατέλυον.
7¶ How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
8ἵπποι θηλυμανεῖς ἐγενήθησαν, ἕκαστος ἐπὶ τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἐχρεμέτιζον.
8They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
9μὴ ἐπὶ τούτοις οὐκ ἐπισκέψομαι; λέγει Κύριος. ἢ ἐν ἔθνει τοιούτῳ οὐκ ἐκδικήσει ἡ ψυχή μου;
9Shall I not visit for these things ? saith the LORD : and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10ἀνάβητε ἐπὶ τοὺς προμαχῶνας αὐτῆς καὶ κατασκάψατε, συντέλειαν δὲ μὴ ποιήσητε· ὑπολίπεσθε τὰ ὑποστηρίγματα αὐτῆς, ὅτι τοῦ Κυρίου εἰσίν.
10¶ Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’s .
11ὅτι ἀθετῶν ἠθέτησεν εἰς ἐμέ, λέγει Κύριος, οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἶκος Ἰούδα.
11For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD .
12ἐψεύσατο τῷ Κυρίῳ αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπαν· οὐκ ἔστι ταῦτα· οὐχ ἥξει ἐφ' ἡμᾶς κακά, καὶ μάχαιραν καὶ λιμὸν οὐκ ὀψόμεθα·
12They have belied the LORD , and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
13οἱ προφῆται ἡμῶν ἦσαν εἰς ἄνεμον, καὶ λόγος Κυρίου οὐχ ὑπῆρχεν ἐν αὐτοῖς· οὕτως ἔσται αὐτοῖς.
13And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
14διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος παντοκράτωρ· ἀνθ' ὧν ἐλαλήσατε τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δέδωκα τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὸ στόμα σου πῦρ καὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ξύλα, καὶ καταφάγεται αὐτούς.
14Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐφ' ὑμᾶς ἔθνος πόρρωθεν, οἶκος Ἰσραήλ, λέγει Κύριος, ἔθνος οὗ οὐκ ἀκούσει τῆς φωνῆς τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ·
15Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD : it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
16πάντες ἰσχυροὶ καὶ κατέδονται τὸν θερισμὸν ὑμῶν
16Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
17καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους ὑμῶν καὶ κατέδονται τοὺς υἱοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν καὶ κατέδονται τὰ πρόβατα ὑμῶν καὶ τοὺς μόσχους ὑμῶν καὶ κατέδονται τοὺς ἀμπελῶνας ὑμῶν καὶ τοὺς συκῶνας ὑμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἐλαιῶνας ὑμῶν· καὶ ἀλοήσουσι τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυρὰς ὑμῶν, ἐφ' αἷς ὑμεῖς πεποίθατε ἐπ' αὐταῖς, ἐν ρομφαίᾳ.
17And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
18καὶ ἔσται ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις, λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου, οὐ μὴ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς εἰς συντέλειαν.
18Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD , I will not make a full end with you.
19καὶ ἔσται ὅταν εἴπητε· τίνος ἕνεκεν ἐποίησε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἡμῖν πάντα ταῦτα; καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς· ἀνθ' ὧν ἐδουλεύσατε θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις ἐν τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν, οὕτως δουλεύσετε ἀλλοτρίοις ἐν τῇ γῇ οὐχ ὑμῶν.
19¶ And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
20ἀναγγείλατε ταῦτα εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ἰακώβ, καὶ ἀκουσθήτω ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰούδα.
20Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
21ἀκούσατε δὴ ταῦτα, λαὸς μωρὸς καὶ ἀκάρδιος, ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ βλέπουσιν, ὦτα αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐκ ἀκούουσι.
21Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
22μὴ ἐμὲ οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε; λέγει Κύριος, ἢ ἀπὸ προσώπου μου οὐκ εὐλαβηθήσεσθε; τὸν τάξαντα ἄμμον ὅριον τῇ θαλάσσῃ, πρόσταγμα αἰώνιον, καὶ οὐχ ὑπερβήσεται αὐτό, καὶ ταραχθήσεται καὶ οὐ δυνήσεται, καὶ ἠχήσουσι τὰ κύματα αὐτῆς καὶ οὐχ ὑπερβήσεται αὐτό.
22Fear ye not me? saith the LORD : will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
23τῷ δὲ λαῷ τούτῳ ἐγενήθη καρδία ἀνήκοος καὶ ἀπειθής, καὶ ἐξέκλιναν καὶ ἀπήλθοσαν·
23But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
24καὶ οὐκ εἶπον ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν· φοβηθῶμεν δὴ Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν, τὸν διδόντα ἡμῖν ὑετὸν πρώϊμον καὶ ὄψιμον κατὰ καιρὸν πληρώσεως προστάγματος θερισμοῦ καὶ ἐφύλαξεν ἡμῖν.
24Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
25αἱ ἀνομίαι ὑμῶν ἐξέκλιναν ταῦτα, καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ὑμῶν ἀπέστησαν τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἀφ' ὑμῶν·
25¶ Your iniquities have turned away these things , and your sins have withholden good things from you.
26ὅτι εὑρέθησαν ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου ἀσεβεῖς καὶ παγίδας ἔστησαν τοῦ διαφθεῖραι ἄνδρας καὶ συνελαμβάνοσαν.
26For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27ὡς παγὶς ἐφεσταμένη πλήρης πετεινῶν, οὕτως οἱ οἶκοι αὐτῶν πλήρεις δόλου· διὰ τοῦτο ἐμεγαλύνθησαν καὶ ἐπλούτησαν·
27As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
28καὶ παρέβησαν κρίσιν, οὐκ ἔκριναν κρίσιν ὀρφανοῦ καὶ κρίσιν χήρας οὐκ ἐκρίνοσαν.
28They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
29μὴ ἐπὶ τούτοις οὐκ ἐπισκέψομαι; λέγει Κύριος, ἢ ἐν ἔθνει τῷ τοιούτῳ οὐκ ἐκδικήσει ἡ ψυχή μου;
29Shall I not visit for these things ? saith the LORD : shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30ἔκστασις καὶ φρικτὰ ἐγενήθη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
30¶ A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
31οἱ προφῆται προφητεύουσιν ἄδικα, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπεκρότησαν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ὁ λαός μου ἠγάπησεν οὕτως· καὶ τί ποιήσετε εἰς τὰ μετὰ ταῦτα;
31The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
