ΚΕΦ. 11-20

ΚΑΙ ἀνέλαβέ με πνεῦμα καὶ ἤγαγέ με ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου τὴν κατέναντι τὴν βλέπουσαν κατὰ ἀνατολάς· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπὶ τῶν προθύρων τῆς πύλης ὡς εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἄνδρες, καὶ εἶδον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν τὸν ᾿Ιεζονίαν τὸν τοῦ ῎Εζερ καὶ Φαλτίαν τὸν τοῦ Βαναίου, τοὺς ἀφηγουμένους τοῦ λαοῦ. 2 καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρός με· υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οὗτοι οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ λογιζόμενοι μάταια καὶ βουλευόμενοι βουλὴν πονηρὰν ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ, 3 οἱ λέγοντες· οὐχὶ προσφάτως ᾠκοδόμηνται αἱ οἰκίαι; αὕτη ἐστὶν ὁ λέβης, ἡμεῖς δέ τὰ κρέα. 4 διὰ τοῦτο προφήτευσον ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς, προφήτευσον, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου. 5 καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ πνεῦμα Κυρίου καὶ εἶπε πρός με· λέγε· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· οὕτως εἴπατε, οἶκος ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ τὰ διαβούλια τοῦ πνεύματος ὑμῶν ἐγὼ ἐπίσταμαι. 6 ἐπληθύνατε νεκροὺς ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ καὶ ἐνεπλήσατε τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῆς τραυματιῶν. 7 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· τοὺς νεκροὺς ὑμῶν, οὓς ἐπατάξατε ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, οὗτοί εἰσι τὰ κρέα, αὐτὴ δὲ ὁ λέβης ἐστί, καὶ ὑμᾶς ἐξάξω ἐκ μέσου αὐτῆς. 8 ρομφαίαν φοβεῖσθε, καὶ ρομφαίαν ἐπάξω ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς, λέγει Κύριος· 9 καὶ ἐξάξω ὑμᾶς ἐκ μέσου αὐτῆς καὶ παραδώσω ὑμᾶς εἰς χεῖρας ἀλλοτρίων καὶ ποιήσω ἐν ὑμῖν κρίματα. 10 ἐν ρομφαίᾳ πεσεῖσθε, ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ κρινῶ ὑμᾶς· καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος. 11 αὐτὴ ὑμῖν οὐκ ἔσται εἰς λέβητα, καὶ ὑμεῖς οὐ μὴ γένησθε ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς εἰς κρέα· ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ κρινῶ ὑμᾶς, 12 καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος. - 13 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ προφητεύειν με καὶ Φαλτίας ὁ τοῦ Βαναίου ἀπέθανε, καὶ πίπτω ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου καὶ ἀνεβόησα φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ εἶπα· οἴμοι οἴμοι, Κύριε, εἰς συντέλειαν ποιεῖς σὺ τοὺς καταλοίπους τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ; 14 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων· 15 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οἱ ἀδελφοί σου καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας σου καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ συντετέλεσται, οἷς εἶπαν αὐτοῖς οἱ κατοικοῦντες ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· μακρὰν ἀπέχετε ἀπὸ τοῦ Κυρίου, ἡμῖν δέδοται ἡ γῆ εἰς κληρονομίαν. 16 διὰ τοῦτον εἰπόν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ὅτι ἀπώσομαι αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰ ἔθνη καὶ διασκορπιῶ αὐτοὺς εἰς πᾶσαν γῆν, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς ἁγίασμα μικρὸν ἐν ταῖς χώραις, οὗ ἐὰν εἰσέλθωσιν ἐκεῖ. 17 διὰ τοῦτο εἶπόν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· καὶ εἰσδέξομαι αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ συνάξω αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῶν χωρῶν, οὗ διέσπειρα αὐτοὺς ἐν αὐταῖς, καὶ δώσω αὐτοῖς τὴν γῆν τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ. 18 καὶ εἰσελεύσονται ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐξαροῦσι πάντα τὰ βδελύγματα αὐτῆς καὶ πάσας τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῆς ἐξ αὐτῆς. 19 καὶ δώσω αὐτοῖς καρδίαν ἑτέραν καὶ πνεῦμα καινὸν δώσω ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐκσπάσω τὴν καρδίαν τὴν λιθίνην ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτῶν καὶ δώσω αὐτοῖς καρδίαν σαρκίνην· 20 ὅπως ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασί μου πορεύωνται καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου φυλάσσωνται καὶ ποιῶσιν αὐτά· καὶ ἔσονταί μοι εἰς λαὸν καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεόν. 21 καὶ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν τῶν βδελυγμάτων αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτῶν, ὡς ἡ καρδία αὐτῶν ἐπορεύετο, τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν εἰς τὰς κεφαλάς αὐτῶν δέδωκα, λέγει Κύριος. - 22 Καὶ ἐξῇραν τὰ Χερουβὶμ τὰς πτέρυγας αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ τροχοὶ ἐχόμενοι αὐτῶν, καὶ ἡ δόξα Θεοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὰ ὑπεράνω αὐτῶν. 23 καὶ ἀνέβη ἡ δόξα Κυρίου ἐκ μέσης τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους, ὃ ἦν ἀπέναντι τῆς πόλεως. 24 καὶ ἀνέλαβέ με πνεῦμα καὶ ἤγαγέ με εἰς γῆς Χαλδαίων εἰς τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν ἐν ὁράσει ἐν πνεύματι Θεοῦ. καὶ ἀνέβην ἀπὸ τῆς ὁράσεως, ἧς εἶδον. 25 καὶ ἐλάλησα πρὸς τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ Κυρίου, οὓς ἔδειξέ μοι.

ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων· 2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδικιῶν αὐτῶν σὺ κατοικεῖς, οἵ ἔχουσιν ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ βλέπειν καὶ οὐ βλέπουσι καὶ ὦτα ἔχουσι τοῦ ἀκούειν καὶ οὐκ ἀκούουσι, διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί. 3 καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ποίησον σεαυτῷ σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν καὶ αἰχμαλωτευθήσῃ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου σου εἰς ἕτερον τόπον ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, ὅπως ἴδωσι, διότι οἶκος παραπικραίνων ἐστί. 4 καὶ ἐξοίσεις τὰ σκεύη σου σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας κατ᾿ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ σὺ ἐξελεύσῃ ἑσπέρας ὡς ἐκπορεύεται αἰχμάλωτος· 5 ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν διόρυξον σεαυτῷ εἰς τὸν τοῖχον καὶ διεξελεύσῃ δι᾿ αὐτοῦ· 6 ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἐπ᾿ ὤμων ἀναληφθήσῃ καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξελεύσῃ, τὸ πρόσωπόν σου συγκαλύψεις καὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδῃς τὴν γῆν, διότι τέρας δέδωκά σε τῷ οἴκῳ ᾿Ισραήλ. 7 καὶ ἐποίησα οὕτως κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἐνετείλατό μοι, καὶ σκεύη ἐξήνεγκα ὡς σκεύη αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμέρας καὶ ἑσπέρας διώρυξα ἐμαυτῷ τὸν τοῖχον καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξῆλθον, ἐπ᾿ ὤμων ἀνελήφθην ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν. - 8 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου τὸ πρωΐ πρός με λέγων· 9 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οὐκ εἶπαν πρός σὲ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, οἶκος ὁ παραπικραίνων· τί σὺ ποιεῖς; 10 εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος· ὁ ἄρχων καὶ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ παντὶ οἴκω ᾿Ισραήλ, οἵ εἰσιν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν, 11 εἰπόν, ὅτι ἐγὼ τέρατα ποιῶ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς· ὃν τρόπον πεποίηκα, οὕτως ἔσται αὐτοῖς· ἐν μετοικεσίᾳ καὶ ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ πορεύσονται, 12 καὶ ὁ ἄρχων ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν ἐπ᾿ ὤμων ἀρθήσεται καὶ κεκρυμμένος ἐξελεύσεται διὰ τοῦ τοίχου, καὶ διορύξει τοῦ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτὸν δι᾿ αὐτοῦ· τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ συγκαλύψει, ὅπως μὴ ὁραθῇ ὀφθαλμῷ, καὶ αὐτὸς τὴν γῆν οὐκ ὄψεται. 13 καὶ ἐκπετάσω τὸ δίκτυόν μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ συλληφθήσεται ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ μου, καὶ ἄξω αὐτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα εἰς γῆν Χαλδαίων, καὶ αὐτὴν οὐκ ὄψεται καὶ ἐκεῖ τελευτήσει. 14 καὶ πάντας τοὺς κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ τοὺς βοηθοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀντιλαμβανομένους αὐτοῦ διασπερῶ εἰς πάντα ἄνεμον καὶ ρομφαίαν ἐκκενώσω ὀπίσω αὐτῶν· 15 καὶ γνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐν τῷ διασκορπίσαι με αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ διασπερῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς χώραις. 16 καὶ ὑπολείψομαι ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρας ἀριθμῷ ἐκ ρομφαίας καὶ ἐκ λιμοῦ καὶ ἐκ θανάτου, ὅπως ἐκδιηγῶνται πάσας τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, οὗ εἰσήλθοσαν ἐκεῖ· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος. - 17 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων· 18 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τὸν ἄρτον σου μετὰ ὀδύνης φάγεσαι καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ σου μετὰ βασάνου καὶ θλίψεως πίεσαι 19 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τῆς γῆς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ· τοὺς ἄρτους αὐτῶν μετὰ ἐνδείας φάγονται καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ αὐτῶν μετὰ ἀφανισμοῦ πίονται, ὅπως ἀφανισθῇ ἡ γῆ σὺν πληρώματι αὐτῆς, ἐν ἀσεβείᾳ γὰρ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ· 20 καὶ αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν αἱ κατοικούμεναι ἐξερημωθήσονται, καὶ ἡ γῆ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἔσται· καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος. 21 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων· 22 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τίς ἡ παραβολὴ ὑμῖν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγοντες· μακρὰν αἱ ἡμέραι, ἀπόλωλεν ὅρασις; 23 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀποστρέψω τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην, καὶ οὐκέτι μὴ εἴπωσι τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην οἶκος τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, ὅτι λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτούς· ἠγγίκασιν αἱ ἡμέραι καὶ λόγος πάσης ὁράσεως· 24 ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἔτι πᾶσα ὅρασις ψευδὴς καὶ μαντευόμενος τὰ πρὸς χάριν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, 25 διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος λαλήσω τοὺς λόγους μου, λαλήσω καὶ ποιήσω καὶ οὐ μὴ μηκύνω ἔτι· ὅτι ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν, οἶκος ὁ παραπικραίνων, λαλήσω λόγον καὶ ποιήσω, λέγει Κύριος. - 26 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων· 27 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἰδοὺ ὁ οἶκος ᾿Ισραὴλ ὁ παραπικραίνων λέγοντες λέγουσιν· ἡ ὅρασις, ἣν οὗτος ὁρᾷ, εἰς ἡμέρας πολλάς, καὶ εἰς καιροὺς μακροὺς οὗτος προφητεύει. 28 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· οὐ μὴ μηκύνωσιν οὐκέτι πάντες οἱ λόγοι μου, οὓς ἂν λαλήσω· λαλήσω καὶ ποιήσω, λέγει Κύριος.

ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων· 2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, προφήτευσον ἐπὶ τοὺς προφήτας τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ προφητεύσεις καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου. 3 τάδε λέγει Κύριος· οὐαὶ τοῖς προφητεύουσιν ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτῶν καὶ τὸ καθόλου μὴ βλέπουσιν. 4 ὡς ἀλώπεκες ἐν ταῖς ἐρήμοις, οἱ προφῆταί σου ᾿Ισραήλ. 5 οὐκ ἔστησαν ἐν στερεώματι καὶ συνήγαγον ποίμνια ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ· οὐκ ἀνέστησαν οἱ λέγοντες· ἐν ἡμέρᾳ Κυρίου· 6 βλέποντες ψευδῆ, μαντευόμενοι μάταια, οἱ λέγοντες· λέγει Κύριος, καὶ Κύριος οὐκ ἀπέσταλκεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἤρξαντο τοῦ ἀναστῆσαι λόγον. 7 οὐχὶ ὅρασιν ψευδῆ ἑωράκατε καὶ μαντείας ματαίας εἰρήκατε; 8 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπόν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀνθ᾿ ὧν οἱ λόγοι ὑμῶν ψευδεῖς καὶ αἱ μαντεῖαι ὑμῶν μάταιαι, διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς, λέγει Κύριος, 9 καὶ ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ τοὺς προφήτας τοὺς ὁρῶντας ψευδῆ καὶ τοὺς ἀποφθεγγομένους μάταια· ἐν παιδείᾳ τοῦ λαοῦ μου οὐκ ἔσονται, οὐδὲ ἐν γραφῇ οἴκου ᾿Ισραὴλ οὐ γραφήσονται καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται· καὶ γνώσονται διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος· 10 ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ἐπλάνησαν τὸν λαόν μου λέγοντες· εἰρήνη εἰρήνη, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη, καὶ οὗτος οἰκοδομεῖ τοῖχον, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἀλείφουσιν αὐτόν, εἰ πεσεῖται, 11 εἰπὸν πρὸς τοὺς ἀλείφοντας· πεσεῖται, καὶ ἔσται ὑετὸς κατακλύζων, καὶ δώσω λίθους πετροβόλους εἰς τοὺς ἐνδέσμους αὐτῶν, καὶ πεσοῦνται, καὶ πνεῦμα ἐξαῖρον, καὶ ραγήσεται. 12 καὶ ἰδοὺ πέπτωκεν ὁ τοῖχος, καὶ οὐκ ἐροῦσι πρὸς ὑμᾶς· ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ ἀλοιφὴ ὑμῶν, ἣν ἠλείψατε; 13 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· καὶ ρήξω πνοὴν ἐξαίρουσαν μετὰ θυμοῦ, καὶ ὑετὸς κατακλύζων ἐν ὀργῇ μου ἔσται, καὶ τοὺς λίθους τοὺς πετροβόλους ἐν θυμῷ ἐπάξω εἰς συντέλειαν 14 καὶ κατασκάψω τὸν τοῖχον, ὃν ἠλείψατε, καὶ πεσεῖται· καὶ θήσω αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται τὰ θεμέλια αὐτοῦ, καὶ πεσεῖται, καὶ συντελεσθήσεσθε μετ᾿ ἐλέγχων· καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος. 15 καὶ συντελέσω τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπὶ τὸν τοῖχον καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλείφοντας αὐτόν, καὶ πεσεῖται. καὶ εἶπα πρὸς ὑμᾶς· οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ τοῖχος οὐδὲ οἱ ἀλείφοντες αὐτὸν 16 προφῆται τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ οἱ προφητεύοντες ἐπὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ οἱ ὁρῶντες αὐτῇ εἰρήνην, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη, λέγει Κύριος. - 17 Καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ τὰς θυγατέρας τοῦ λαοῦ σου τὰς προφητευούσας ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτῶν καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπ᾿ αὐτὰς 18 καὶ ἐρεῖς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· οὐαὶ ταῖς συρραπτούσαις προσκεφάλαια ὑπὸ πάντα ἀγκῶνα χειρὸς καὶ ποιούσαις ἐπιβόλαια ἐπὶ πᾶσαν κεφαλὴν πάσης ἡλικίας τοῦ διαστρέφειν ψυχάς· αἱ ψυχαὶ διεστράφησαν τοῦ λαοῦ μου, καὶ ψυχὰς περιεποιοῦντο. 19 καὶ ἐβεβήλουν με πρὸς τὸν λαόν μου ἕνεκεν δρακὸς κριθῶν καὶ ἕνεκεν κλασμάτων ἄρτων τοῦ ἀποκτεῖναι ψυχάς, ἃς οὐκ ἔδει ἀποθανεῖν, καὶ τοῦ περιποιήσασθαι ψυχάς, ἃς οὐκ ἔδει ζῆσαι, ἐν τῷ ἀποφθέγγεσθαι ὑμᾶς λαῷ εἰσακούοντι μάταια ἀποφθέγματα. 20 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ τὰ προσκεφάλαια ὑμῶν, ἐφ᾿ ἃ ὑμεῖς ἐκεῖ συστρέφετε ψυχάς, καὶ διαρρήξω αὐτὰ ἀπὸ τῶν βραχιόνων ὑμῶν καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ τὰς ψυχάς, ἃς ὑμεῖς ἐκστρέφετε τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν, εἰς διασκορπισμόν· 21 καὶ διαρρήξω τὰ ἐπιβόλαια ὑμῶν καὶ ρύσομαι τὸν λαόν μου ἐκ χειρὸς ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσονται ἐν χερσὶν ὑμῶν εἰς συστροφήν· καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος. 22 ἀνθ᾿ ὧν διεστρέφετε καρδίαν δικαίου ἀδίκως, καὶ ἐγὼ οὐ διέστρεφον αὐτόν, καὶ τοῦ κατισχῦσαι χεῖρας ἀνόμου τὸ καθόλου μὴ ἀποστρέψαι ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ τῆς πονηρᾶς καὶ ζῆσαι αὐτόν, 23 διὰ τοῦτο ψευδῆ οὐ μὴ ἴδητε καὶ μαντείας οὐ μὴ μαντεύσησθε ἔτι, καὶ ρύσομαι τὸν λαόν μου ἐκ χειρὸς ὑμῶν· καὶ γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.

ΚΑΙ ἦλθον πρός με ἄνδρες ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐκάθησαν πρὸ προσώπου μου. 2 καὶ ἐγένετο πρός με λόγος Κυρίου λέγων· 3 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οἱ ἄνδρες οὗτοι ἔθεντο τὰ διανοήματα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν κόλασιν τῶν ἀδικιῶν αὐτῶν ἔθηκαν πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν· εἰ ἀποκρινόμενος ἀποκριθῶ αὐτοῖς; 4 διὰ τοῦτο λάλησον αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἄνθρωπος ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου ᾿Ισραήλ, ὃς ἂν θῇ τὰ διανοήματα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν κόλασιν τῆς ἀδικίας αὐτοῦ τάξῃ πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλθῃ πρὸς τὸν προφήτην, ἐγὼ Κύριος ἀποκριθήσομαι αὐτῷ ἐν οἷς ἐνέχεται ἡ διάνοια αὐτοῦ, 5 ὅπως πλαγιάση τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ κατὰ τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν τὰς ἀπηλλοτριωμένας ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐν τοῖς ἐνθυμήμασιν αὐτῶν. 6 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος· ἐπιστράφητε καὶ ἀποστρέψατε ἀπὸ τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων ὑμῶν καὶ ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀσεβειῶν ὑμῶν καὶ ἐπιστρέψατε τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν. 7 διότι ἄνθρωπος ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐκ τῶν προσηλύτων τῶν προσηλυτευόντων ἐν τῷ ᾿Ισραήλ, ὃς ἂν ἀπαλλοτριωθῇ ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ θῆται τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν κόλασιν τῆς ἀδικίας αὐτοῦ τάξῃ πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλθῃ πρὸς τὸν προφήτην τοῦ ἐπερωτῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐν ἐμοί, ἐγὼ Κύριος ἀποκριθήσομαι αὐτῷ ἐν ᾧ ἐνέχεται ἐν αὐτῷ. 8 καὶ στηριῶ τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπὶ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐκεῖνον καὶ θήσομαι αὐτὸν εἰς ἔρημον καὶ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ ἐξαρῶ αὐτὸν ἐκ μέσου τοῦ λαοῦ μου, καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος. 9 καὶ ὁ προφήτης ἐὰν πλανηθῇ καὶ λαλήσῃ, ἐγὼ Κύριος πεπλάνηκα τὸν προφήτην ἐκεῖνον, καὶ ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ ἀφανιῶ αὐτόν ἐκ μέσου τοῦ λαοῦ μου ᾿Ισραήλ. 10 καὶ λήψονται τὴν ἀδικίαν αὐτῶν κατὰ τὸ ἀδίκημα τοῦ ἐπερωτῶντος, καὶ κατὰ τὸ ἀδίκημα ὁμοίως τῷ προφήτῃ ἔσται, 11 ὅπως μὴ πλανᾶται ἔτι ὁ οἶκος τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἵνα μὴ μιαίνωνται ἔτι ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς παραπτώμασιν αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔσονταί μοι εἰς λαόν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεόν, λέγει Κύριος. 12 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων· 13 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, γῆ ἐὰν ἁμάρτῃ μοι τοῦ παραπεσεῖν παράπτωμα καὶ ἐκτενῶν τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν καὶ συντρίψω αὐτῆς στήριγμα ἄρτου καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν λιμὸν καὶ ἐξαρῶ ἐξ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτήνη· 14 καὶ ἐὰν ὦσιν οἱ τρεῖς ἄνδρες οὗτοι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, Νῶε καὶ Δανιὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιώβ, αὐτοὶ ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ αὐτῶν σωθήσονται, λέγει Κύριος. 15 ἐὰν καὶ θηρία πονηρὰ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τιμωρήσομαι αὐτὴν καὶ ἔσται εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ διοδεύων ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν θηρίων, 16 καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἄνδρες οὗτοι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ὦσι, ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει Κύριος, εἰ υἱοὶ ἢ θυγατέρες σωθήσονται, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ αὐτοὶ μόνοι σωθήσονται, ἡ δὲ γῆ ἔσται εἰς ὄλεθρον. 17 ἢ καὶ ρομφαίαν ἐὰν ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην καὶ εἴπω· ρομφαία διελθάτω διὰ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐξαρῶ ἐξ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος, 18 καὶ οἱ τρεῖς ἄνδρες οὗτοι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει Κύριος, οὐ μὴ ρύσωνται υἱοὺς οὐδὲ θυγατέρας, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ αὐτοὶ μόνοι σωθήσονται. 19 ἢ καὶ θάνατον ἐπαποστείλω ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην καὶ ἐκχεῶ τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν ἐν αἵματι τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι ἐξ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος, 20 καὶ Νῶε καὶ Δανιὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιὼβ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει Κύριος, ἐὰν υἱοὶ ἢ θυγατέρες ὑπολειφθῶσιν, αὐτοὶ ἐν τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ αὐτῶν ρύσονται τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν. 21 τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ τὰς τέσσαρας ἐκδικήσεις μου τὰς πονηράς, ρομφαίαν καὶ λιμὸν καὶ θηρία πονηρὰ καὶ θάνατον, ἐξαποστείλω ἐπὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι ἐξ αὐτῆς ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος 22 καὶ ἰδοὺ ὑπολελειμμένοι ἐν αὐτῇ οἱ ἀνασεσωσμένοι αὐτῆς, οἳ ἐξάγουσιν ἐξ αὐτῆς υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, ἰδοὺ αὐτοὶ ἐκπορεύονται πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ ὄψεσθε τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν καὶ μεταμεληθήσεσθε ἐπὶ τὰ κακά, ἃ ἐπήγαγον ἐπὶ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, πάντα τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἐπήγαγαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτήν, 23 καὶ παρακαλέσουσιν ὑμᾶς, διότι ὄψεσθε τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἐνθυμήματα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι οὐ μάτην πεποίηκα πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησα ἐν αὐτῇ, λέγει Κύριος.

ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων· 2 καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τί ἂν γένοιτο τὸ ξύλον τῆς ἀμπέλου ἐκ πάντων τῶν ξύλων τῶν κλημάτων τῶν ὄντων ἐν τοῖς ξύλοις τοῦ δρυμοῦ; 3 εἰ λήψονται ἐξ αὐτῆς ξύλον τοῦ ποιῆσαι εἰς ἐργασίαν; εἰ λήψονται ἐξ αὐτῆς πάσσαλον τοῦ κρεμάσαι ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν πᾶν σκεῦος; 4 πάρεξ πυρὶ δέδοται εἰς ἀνάλωσιν, τὴν κατ᾿ ἐνιαυτὸν κάθαρσιν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς ἀναλίσκει τὸ πῦρ, καὶ ἐκλείπει εἰς τέλος· μὴ χρήσιμον ἔσται εἰς ἐργασίαν; 5 οὐδὲ ἔτι αὐτοῦ ὄντος ὁλοκλήρου οὐκ ἔσται εἰς ἐργασίαν. μὴ ὅτι ἐὰν καὶ πῦρ αὐτὸ ἀναλώσῃ εἰς τέλος, εἰ ἔτι ἔσται εἰς ἐργασίαν; 6 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπόν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ὃν τρόπον τὸ ξύλον τῆς ἀμπέλου ἐν τοῖς ξύλοις τοῦ δρυμοῦ, ὃ δέδωκα αὐτὸ πυρὶ εἰς ἀνάλωσιν, οὕτως δέδωκα τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. 7 καὶ δώσω τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς· ἐκ τοῦ πυρὸς ἐξελεύσονται, καὶ πῦρ αὐτοὺς καταφάγεται, καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐν τῷ στηρίσαι με τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς. 8 καὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν εἰς ἀφανισμόν, ἀνθ᾿ ὧν παρέπεσον παραπτώματι, λέγει Κύριος.

ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων· 2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, διαμάρτυραι τῇ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῆς 3 καὶ ἐρεῖς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος τῇ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· ἡ ρίζα σου καὶ ἡ γένεσίς σου ἐκ γῆς Χαναάν, ὁ πατήρ σου ᾿Αμορραῖος, καὶ ἡ μήτηρ σου Χετταία. 4 καὶ ἡ γένεσίς σου, ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐτέχθης, οὐκ ἔδησας τοὺς μαστούς σου καί ἐν ὕδατι οὐκ ἐλούσθης, οὐδὲ ἁλὶ ἡλίσθης καὶ ἐν σπαργάνοις οὐκ ἐσπαργανώθης, 5 οὐδὲ ἐφείσατο ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπὶ σοὶ τοῦ ποιῆσαί σοι ἓν ἐκ πάντων τούτων, τοῦ παθεῖν τι ἐπὶ σοί, καὶ ἀπερρίφης ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ πεδίου τῇ σκολιότητι τῆς ψυχῆς σου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἐτέχθης. 6 καὶ διῆλθον ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ εἶδόν σε πεφυρμένην ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου καὶ εἶπά σοι· ἐκ τοῦ αἵματός σου ζωή· 7 πληθύνου, καθὼς ἡ ἀνατολὴ τοῦ ἀγροῦ δέδωκά σε· καὶ ἐπληθύνθης καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθης καὶ εἰσῆλθες εἰς πόλεις πόλεων· οἱ μαστοί σου ἀνωρθώθησαν, καὶ ἡ θρίξ σου ἀνέτειλε, σὺ δὲ ἦσθα γυμνὴ καὶ ἀσχημονοῦσα. 8 καὶ διῆλθον διὰ σοῦ καὶ εἶδόν σε, καὶ ἰδοὺ καιρός σου καὶ καιρὸς καταλυόντων, καὶ διεπέτασα τὰς πτέρυγάς μου ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ἐκάλυψα τὴν ἀσχημοσύνην σου· καὶ ὤμοσά σοι καὶ εἰσῆλθον ἐν διαθήκῃ μετὰ σοῦ, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ἐγένου μοι. 9 καὶ ἔλουσά σε ἐν ὕδατι καὶ ἀπέπλυνα τὸ αἷμά σου ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἔχρισά σε ἐν ἐλαίῳ 10 καὶ ἐνέδυσά σε ποικίλα καὶ ὑπέδυσά σε ὑάκινθον καὶ ἔζωσά σε βύσσῳ καὶ περιέβαλόν σε τριχάπτῳ 11 καὶ ἐκόσμημά σε κόσμῳ καὶ περιέθηκα ψέλια περὶ τὰς χεῖράς σου καὶ κάθεμα περὶ τὸν τράχηλόν σου 12 καὶ ἔδωκα ἐνώτιον περὶ τὸν μυκτῆρά σου καὶ τροχίσκους ἐπὶ τὰ ὦτά σου καὶ στέφανον καυχήσεως ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου. 13 καὶ ἐκοσμήθης χρυσίῳ καὶ ἀργυρίῳ, καὶ τὰ περιβόλαιά σου βύσσινα καὶ τρίχαπτα καὶ ποικίλα· σεμίδαλιν καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ μέλι ἔφαγες καὶ ἐγένου καλή σφόδρα. 14 καὶ ἐξῆλθέ σου ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐν τῷ κάλλει σου, διότι συντετελεσμένον ἦν ἐν εὐπρεπείᾳ ἐν τῇ ὡραιότητι, ᾗ ἔταξα ἐπὶ σέ, λέγει Κύριος. - 15 Καὶ ἐπεποίθεις ἐν τῷ κάλλει σου καὶ ἐπόρνευσας ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου καὶ ἐξέχεας τὴν πορνείαν σου ἐπὶ πάντα πάροδον, ὃ οὐκ ἔσται. 16 καὶ ἔλαβες ἐκ τῶν ἱματίων σου καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῇ εἴδωλα ραπτὰ καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας ἐπ᾿ αὐτά· καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃς, οὐδὲ μὴ γένηται. 17 καὶ ἔλαβες τὰ σκεύη τῆς καυχήσεώς σου ἐκ τοῦ χρυσίου μου καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ἀργυρίου μου, ἐξ ὧν ἔδωκά σοι καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῇ εἰκόνας ἀρσενικὰς καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας ἐν αὐταῖς· 18 καὶ ἔλαβες τὸν ἱματισμὸν τὸν ποικίλον σου καὶ περιέβαλες αὐτὰ καὶ τὸ ἔλαιόν μου καὶ τὸ θυμίαμά μου ἔθηκας πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν· 19 καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους μου, οὓς ἔδωκά σοι, σεμίδαλιν καὶ ἔλαιον καὶ μέλι ἐψώμισά σε καὶ ἔθηκας αὐτὰ πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν εἰς ὀσμήν εὐωδίας· καὶ ἐγένετο, λέγει Κύριος, 20 καὶ ἔλαβες τοὺς υἱούς σου καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας σου, ἃς ἐγέννησας, καὶ ἔθυσας αὐτὰ αὐτοῖς εἰς ἀνάλωσιν, ὡς μικρὰ ἐξεπόρνευσας, 21 καὶ ἔσφαξας τὰ τέκνα σου καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτὰ ἐν τῷ ἀποτροπιάζεσθαί σε ἐν αὐτοῖς. 22 τοῦτο παρὰ πᾶσαν τὴν πορνείαν σου, καὶ οὐκ ἐμνήσθης τῆς νηπιότητός σου, ὅτε ἦσθα γυμνὴ καὶ ἀσχημονοῦσα καὶ πεφυρμένη ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου ἔζησας. 23 καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ πάσας τὰς κακίας σου, λέγει Κύριος, 24 καὶ ᾠκοδόμησας σεαυτῇ οἴκημα πορνικὸν καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῇ ἔκθεμα ἐν πάσῃ πλατείᾳ 25 καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἀρχῆς πάσης ὁδοῦ ᾠκοδόμησας τὰ πορνεῖά σου καὶ ἐλυμήνω τὸ κάλλος σου καὶ διήγαγες τὰ σκέλη σου παντὶ παρόδῳ καὶ ἐπλήθυνας τὴν πορνείαν σου· 26 καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Αἰγύπτου τοὺς ὁμοροῦντάς σοι τοὺς μεγαλοσάρκους καὶ πολλαχῶς ἐξεπόρνευσας τοῦ παροργίσαι με. 27 ἐὰν δὲ ἐκτείνω τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ ἐξαρῶ τὰ νόμιμά σου καὶ παραδώσω εἰς ψυχὰς μισούντων σε, θυγατέρας ἀλλοφύλων τὰς ἐκκλινούσας σε ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ σου, ἧς ἠσέβησας. 28 καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας ἐπὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ᾿Ασσοὺρ καὶ οὐδ᾿ οὕτως ἐνεπλήσθης· καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας καὶ οὐκ ἐνεπίπλω. 29 καὶ ἐπλήθυνας τὰς διαθήκας σου πρὸς γῆν Χαλδαίων καὶ οὐδὲ ἐν τούτοις ἐνεπλήσθης. 30 τί διαθῶ τὴν θυγατέρα σου, λέγει Κύριος, ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαί σε πάντα ταῦτα, ἔργα γυναικὸς πόρνης; καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας τρισσῶς ἐν ταῖς θυγατράσι σου· 31 τὸ πορνεῖον ᾠκοδόμησας ἐν πάσῃ ἀρχῇ ὁδοῦ καὶ τὴν βάσιν σου ἐποίησας ἐν πάσῃ πλατείᾳ καὶ ἐγένου ὡς πόρνη συνάγουσα μισθώματα. 32 ἡ γυνὴ ἡ μοιχωμένη ὁμοία σοι παρὰ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς λαμβάνουσα μισθώματα· 33 πᾶσι τοῖς ἐκπορνεύσασιν αὐτὴν προσεδίδου μισθώματα, καὶ σὺ δέδωκας μισθώματα πᾶσι τοῖς ἐρασταῖς σου καὶ ἐφόρτιζες αὐτοὺς τοῦ ἔρχεσθαι πρός σε κυκλόθεν ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ σου. 34 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν σοὶ διεστραμμένον παρὰ τὰς γυναῖκας ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ σου, καὶ μετὰ σοῦ πεπορνεύκασιν ἐν τῷ προσδιδόναι σε μισθώματα, καὶ σοὶ μισθώματα οὐκ ἐδόθη, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν σοὶ διεστραμμένα. - 35 Διὰ τοῦτο, πόρνη, ἄκουε λόγον Κυρίου· 36 τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ἐξέχεας τὸν χαλκόν σου, καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται ἡ αἰσχύνη ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ σου πρὸς τοὺς ἐραστάς σου καὶ εἰς πάντα τὰ ἐνθυμήματα τῶν ἀνομιῶν σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς αἵμασι τῶν τέκνων σου, ὧν ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς. 37 διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σὲ συνάγω πάντας τοὺς ἐραστάς σου, ἐν οἷς ἐπεμίγης ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ πάντας, οὓς ἠγάπησας, σὺν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐμίσεις· καὶ συνάξω αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ σὲ κυκλόθεν καὶ ἀποκαλύψω τὰς κακίας σου πρὸς αὐτούς, καὶ ὄψονται πᾶσαν τὴν αἰσχύνην σου· 38 καὶ ἐκδικήσω σε ἐκδικήσει μοιχαλίδος καὶ ἐκχεούσης αἷμα καὶ θήσω σε ἐν αἵματι θυμοῦ καὶ ζήλου. 39 καὶ παραδώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν, καὶ κατασκάψουσι τὸ πορνεῖόν σου καὶ καθελοῦσι τὴν βάσιν σου, καὶ ἐκδύσουσί σε τὰ ἱμάτιά σου καὶ λήψονται τὰ σκεύη τῆς καυχήσεώς σου καί ἀφήσουσί σε γυμνὴν καὶ ἀσχημονοῦσαν. 40 καὶ ἄξουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ ὄχλους καὶ λιθοβολήσουσί σε ἐν λίθοις καὶ κατασφάξουσί σε ἐν τοῖς ξίφεσιν αὐτῶν. 41 καὶ ἐμπρήσουσι τοὺς οἴκους σου πυρὶ καὶ ποιήσουσιν ἐν σοὶ ἐκδικήσεις ἐνώπιον γυναικῶν πολλῶν· καὶ ἀποστρέψω σε ἐκ τῆς πορνείας σου, καὶ μισθώματα οὐ μὴ δῷς οὐκέτι. 42 καὶ ἐπαφήσω τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ ἐξαρθήσεται ὁ ζῆλός μου ἐκ σοῦ, καὶ ἀναπαύσομαι καὶ σὺ μὴ μεριμνήσω οὐκέτι. 43 ἀνθ᾿ ὧν οὐκ ἐμνήσθης τῆς νηπιότητός σου καὶ ἐλύπεις με ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ τὰς ὁδούς σου εἰς κεφαλήν σου δέδωκα, λέγει Κύριος· καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησας τὴν ἀσέβειαν ἐπὶ πάσαις ταῖς ἀνομίαις σου. 44 ταῦτά ἐστι πάντα, ὅσα εἶπαν κατὰ σοῦ ἐν παραβολῇ λέγοντες· καθὼς ἡ μήτηρ, 45 καὶ ἡ θυγάτηρ· θυγάτηρ τῆς μητρός σου σὺ εἶ ἡ ἀπωσαμένη τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς καὶ ἀδελφοὶ τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου τῶν ἀπωσαμένων τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν· ἡ μήτηρ ὑμῶν Χετταία, καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ᾿Αμορραῖος. 46 ἡ ἀδελφὴ ὑμῶν ἡ πρεσβυτέρα Σαμάρεια, αὐτὴ καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς, ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐξ εὐωνύμων σου· καὶ ἡ ἀδελφή σου ἡ νεωτέρα σου ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐκ δεξιῶν σου Σόδομα καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς. 47 καὶ οὐδ᾿ ὧς ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτῶν ἐπορεύθης, οὐδὲ κατὰ τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῶν ἐποίησας· παρὰ μικρὸν καὶ ὑπέρκεισαι αὐτὰς ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς σου. 48 ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει Κύριος, εἰ πεποίηκε Σόδομα ἡ ἀδελφή σου, αὐτὴ καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησας σὺ καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες σου. 49 πλὴν τοῦτο τὸ ἀνόμημα Σοδόμων τῆς ἀδελφῆς σου, ὑπερηφανία· ἐν πλησμονῇ ἄρτων καὶ ἐν εὐθηνίᾳ οἴνου ἐσπατάλων αὐτὴ καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς. τοῦτο ὑπῆρχεν αὐτῇ καὶ ταῖς θυγατράσιν αὐτῆς, καὶ χεῖρα πτωχοῦ καὶ πένητος οὐκ ἀντελαμβάνοντο. 50 καὶ ἐμεγαλαύχουν καὶ ἐποίησαν ἀνομήματα ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἐξῇρα αὐτὰς καθὼς εἶδον. 51 καὶ Σαμάρεια κατὰ τὰς ἡμίσεις τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν σου οὐχ ἥμαρτε· καὶ ἐπλήθυνας τὰς ἀνομίας σου ὑπὲρ αὐτὰς καὶ ἐδικαίωσας τὰς ἀδελφάς σου ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἀνομίαις σου, αἷς ἐποίησας. 52 καὶ σὺ κόμισαι βάσανόν σου, ἐν ᾗ ἔφθειρας τὰς ἀδελφάς σου ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις σου, αἷς ἠνόμησας ὑπὲρ αὐτάς, καὶ ἐδικαίωσας αὐτὰς ὑπὲρ σεαυτήν· καὶ σὺ αἰσχύνθητι καὶ λάβε τὴν ἀτιμίαν σου ἐν τῷ δικαιῶσαί σε τὰς ἀδελφάς σου. 53 καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὰς ἀποστροφὰς αὐτῶν, τὴν ἀποστροφὴν Σοδόμων καὶ τῶν θυγατέρων αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποστροφὴν Σαμαρείας καὶ τῶν θυγατέρων αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὴν ἀποστροφήν σου ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν, 54 ὅπως κομίσῃ τὴν βάσανόν σου καὶ ἀτιμωθήσῃ ἐκ πάντων, ὧν ἐποίησας ἐν τῷ παροργίσαι με. 55 καὶ ἡ ἀδελφή σου Σόδομα καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς ἀποκατασταθήσονται καθὼς ἦσαν ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς, καὶ Σαμάρεια καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῆς ἀποκατασταθήσονται καθὼς ἦσαν ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς, καὶ σὺ καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες σου ἀποκατασταθήσεσθε καθὼς ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς ἦτε. 56 καὶ εἰ μὴ ἦν Σόδομα ἡ ἀδελφή σου εἰς ἀκοὴν ἐν τῷ στόματί σου ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑπερηφανίας σου, 57 πρὸ τοῦ ἀποκαλυφθῆναι τὰς κακίας σου, ὃν τρόπον νῦν ὄνειδος εἶ θυγατέρων Συρίας καὶ πάντων τῶν κύκλῳ αὐτῆς, θυγατέρων ἀλλοφύλων τῶν περιεχουσῶν σε κύκλῳ;

ΚΑΙ σὺ λαβὲ θρῆνον ἐπὶ τὸν ἄρχοντα τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ 2 καὶ ἐρεῖς· τί ἡ μήτηρ σου; σκύμνος· ἐν μέσῳ λεόντων ἐγενήθη, ἐν μέσῳ λεόντων ἐπλήθυνε σκύμνους αὐτῆς. 3 καὶ ἀπεπήδησεν εἷς τῶν σκύμνων αὐτῆς, λέων ἐγένετο καὶ ἔμαθε τοῦ ἁρπάζειν ἁρπάγματα, ἀνθρώπους ἔφαγε. 4 καὶ ἤκουσαν κατ' αὐτοῦ ἔθνη, ἐν τῇ διαφθορᾷ αὐτῶν συνελήφθη, καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἐν κημῷ εἰς γῆν Αἰγύπτου. 5 καὶ εἶδεν ὅτι ἀπῶσται ἀπ' αὐτῆς, ἀπώλετο ἡ ὑπόστασις αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἄλλον ἐκ τῶν σκύμνων αὐτῆς, λέοντα ἔταξεν αὐτόν, 6 καὶ ἀνεστρέφετο ἐν μέσῳ λεόντων, λέων ἐγένετο καὶ ἔμαθεν ἁρπάζειν ἁρπάγματα, ἀνθρώπους ἔφαγε· 7 καὶ ἐνέμετο τῷ θράσει αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν ἐξηρήμωσε καὶ ἠφάνισε γῆν καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς ἀπὸ φωνῆς ὠρυώματος αὐτοῦ. 8 καὶ ἔδωκαν ἐπ' αὐτὸν ἔθνη ἐκ χωρῶν κυκλόθεν καὶ ἐξεπέτασαν ἐπ' αὐτὸν δίκτυα αὐτῶν, ἐν διαφθορᾷ αὐτῶν συνελήφθη· 9 καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν ἐν κημῷ καὶ ἐν γαλεάγρᾳ, ἦλθε πρὸς βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς φυλακήν, ὅπως μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἡ φωνὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ. 10 ἡ μήτηρ σου ὡς ἄμπελος καὶ ὡς ἄνθος ἐν ρόᾳ ἐν ὕδατι πεφυτευμένη, ὁ καρπὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ὁ βλαστὸς αὐτῆς ἐγένετο ἐξ ὕδατος πολλοῦ. 11 καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῇ ράβδος ἐπὶ φυλὴν ἡγουμένων, καὶ ὑψώθη τῷ μεγέθει αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ στελεχῶν καὶ εἶδε τὸ μέγεθος αὐτῆς ἐν πλήθει κλημάτων αὐτῆς. 12 καὶ κατεκλάσθη ἐν θυμῷ, ἐπὶ γῆν ἐρρίφη, καὶ ἄνεμος ὁ καύσων ἐξήρανε τὰ ἐκλεκτὰ αὐτῆς· ἐξεδικήθη καὶ ἐξηράνθη ἡ ράβδος ἰσχύος αὐτῆς, πῦρ ἀνήλωσεν αὐτήν. 13 καὶ νῦν πεφύτευκαν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἐν γῇ ἀνύδρῳ· 14 καὶ ἐξῆλθε πῦρ ἐκ ράβδου ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτῆς καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτήν, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἐν αὐτῇ ράβδος ἰσχύος. φυλὴ εἰς παραβολὴν θρήνου ἐστὶ καὶ ἔσται εἰς θρῆνον.

ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ἑβδόμῳ, ἐν τῷ πέμπτῳ μηνί, δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνός, ἦλθον ἄνδρες ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων οἴκου ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐπερωτῆσαι τὸν Κύριον καὶ ἐκάθισαν πρὸ προσώπου μου. 2 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων· 3 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, λάλησον πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τοῦ οἴκου ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· εἰ ἐπερωτῆσαί με ὑμεῖς ἔρχεσθε; ζῶ ἐγὼ εἰ ἀποκριθήσομαι ὑμῖν, λέγει Κύριος· 4 εἰ ἐκδικήσω αὐτοὺς ἐκδικήσει, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τὰς ἀνομίας τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν διαμάρτυραι αὐτοῖς 5 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀφ' ἧς ἡμέρας ᾑρέτισα τὸν οἶκον ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐγνωρίσθην τῷ σπέρματι οἴκου ᾿Ιακὼβ καὶ ἐγνώσθην αὐτοῖς ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἀντελαβόμην τῇ χειρί μου αὐτῶν λέγων· ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν, 6 ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἀντελαβόμην τῇ χειρί μου αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐξαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἡτοίμασα αὐτοῖς, γῆν ρέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι, κηρίον ἐστὶ παρὰ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν. 7 καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτούς· ἕκαστος βδελύγματα τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ ἀπορριψάτω, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν Αἰγύπτου μὴ μιαίνεσθε, ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν. 8 καὶ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ' ἐμοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν εἰσακοῦσαί μου, τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν οὐκ ἀπέρριψαν καὶ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα Αἰγύπτου οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπον. καὶ εἶπα τοῦ ἐκχέαι τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπ' αὐτοὺς τοῦ συντελέσαι τὴν ὀργήν μου ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν μέσῳ γῆς Αἰγύπτου. 9 καὶ ἐποίησα ὅπως τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ παράπαν μὴ βεβηλωθῇ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν αὐτοί εἰσιν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν, ἐν οἷς ἐγνώσθην πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐξαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου. 10 καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν ἔρημον 11 καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς τὰ προστάγματά μου καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου ἐγνώρισα αὐτοῖς, ὅσα ποιήσει αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος καὶ ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς. 12 καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς τοῦ εἶναι εἰς σημεῖον ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν τοῦ γνῶναι αὐτοὺς διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ ἁγιάζων αὐτούς. 13 καὶ εἶπα πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασί μου πορεύεσθε· καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου ἀπώσαντο, ἃ ποιήσει αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος καὶ ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἐβεβήλωσαν σφόδρα. καὶ εἶπα τοῦ ἐκχέαι τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τοῦ ἐξαναλῶσαι αὐτούς. 14 καὶ ἐποίησα ὅπως τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ παράπαν μὴ βεβηλωθῇ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν ἐξήγαγον αὐτοὺς κατ' ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν. 15 καὶ ἐγὼ ἐξῇρα τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τὸ παράπαν τοῦ μὴ εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς, γῆν ρέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι, κηρίον ἐστὶ παρὰ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, 16 ἀνθ' ὧν τὰ δικαιώματά μου ἀπώσαντο καὶ ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασί μου οὐκ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἐβεβήλουν καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν ἐνθυμημάτων καρδίας αὐτῶν ἐπορεύοντο. 17 καὶ ἐφείσατο ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐπ' αὐτοὺς τοῦ ἐξαλεῖψαι αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησα αὐτοὺς εἰς συντέλειαν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ. 18 καὶ εἶπα πρὸς τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· ἐν τοῖς νομίμοις τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν μὴ πορεύεσθε καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτῶν μὴ φυλάσσεσθε καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν αὐτῶν μὴ συναναμίσγεσθε καὶ μὴ μιαίνεσθε. 19 ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν, ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασί μου πορεύεσθε καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου φυλάσσεσθε, καὶ ποιεῖτε αὐτά· 20 καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἁγιάζετε, καὶ ἔστω εἰς σημεῖον ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ὑμῶν τοῦ γινώσκειν διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν. 21 καὶ παρεπίκρανάν με καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασί μου οὐκ ἐπορεύθησαν, καὶ τὰ δικαιώματά μου οὐκ ἐφυλάξαντο τοῦ ποιεῖν αὐτά, ἃ ποιήσει ἄνθρωπος καὶ ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἐβεβήλουν. καὶ εἶπα τοῦ ἐκχέαι τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τοῦ συντελέσαι τὴν ὀργήν μου ἐπ' αὐτούς· 22 καὶ ἐποίησα ὅπως τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ παράπαν μὴ βεβηλωθῇ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν ἐξήγαγον αὐτοὺς κατ' ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν. 23 καὶ ἐξῇρα τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τοῦ διασκορπίσαι αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι καὶ διασπεῖραι αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς χώραις, 24 ἀνθ' ὧν τὰ δικαιώματά μου οὐκ ἐποίησαν καὶ τὰ προστάγματά μου ἀπώσαντο καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἐβεβήλουν, καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν ἐνθυμημάτων τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἦσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν. 25 καὶ ἐγὼ ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς προστάγματα οὐ καλὰ καὶ δικαιώματα, ἐν οἷς οὐ ζήσονται ἐν αὐτοῖς. 26 καὶ μιανῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς δόμασιν αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ διαπορεύεσθαί με πᾶν διανοῖγον μήτραν, ὅπως ἀφανίσω αὐτούς. 27 Διὰ τοῦτο λάλησον πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἕως τούτου παρώργισάν με οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν ἐν τοῖς παραπτώμασιν αὐτῶν, ἐν οἷς παρέπεσον εἰς ἐμέ. 28 καὶ εἰσήγαγον αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν ᾖρα τὴν χεῖρά μου τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτὴν αὐτοῖς, καὶ εἶδον πάντα βουνὸν ὑψηλὸν καὶ πᾶν ξύλον κατάσκιον καὶ ἔθυσαν ἐκεῖ τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔταξαν ἐκεῖ ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας καὶ ἔσπεισαν ἐκεῖ τὰς σπονδὰς αὐτῶν. 29 καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτούς· τί ἐστιν ᾿Αβαμά, ὅτι ὑμεῖς εἰσπορεύεσθε ἐκεῖ; καὶ ἐπεκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ᾿Αβαμὰ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας. 30 διὰ τοῦτο εἰπὸν πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· εἰ ἐν ταῖς ἀνομίαις τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν ὑμεῖς μιαίνεσθε καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν βδελυγμάτων αὐτῶν ὑμεῖς ἐκπορνεύετε, 31 καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἀπαρχαῖς τῶν δομάτων ὑμῶν, ἐν τοῖς ἀφορισμοῖς, οἷς ὑμεῖς μιαίνεσθε ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐνθυμήμασιν ὑμῶν ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας, καὶ ἐγὼ ἀποκριθῶ ὑμῖν, οἶκος τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ; ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει Κύριος, εἰ ἀποκριθήσομαι ὑμῖν, καὶ εἰ ἀναβήσεται ἐπὶ τὸ πνεῦμα ὑμῶν τοῦτο. 32 καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον ὑμεῖς λέγετε· ἐσόμεθα ὡς τὰ ἔθνη καὶ ὡς αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς τοῦ λατρεύειν ξύλοις καὶ λίθοις. 33 διὰ τοῦτο, ζῶ ἐγώ, λέγει Κύριος, ἐν χειρὶ κραταιᾷ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ καὶ ἐν θυμῷ κεχυμένῳ βασιλεύσω ἐφ' ὑμᾶς· 34 καὶ ἐξάξω ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῶν λαῶν καὶ εἰσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῶν χωρῶν, οὗ διεσκορπίσθητε ἐν αὐταῖς, ἐν χειρὶ κραταιᾷ καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ καὶ ἐν θυμῷ κεχυμένῳ. 35 καὶ ἄξω ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν ἔρημον τῶν λαῶν, καὶ διακριθήσομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐκεῖ πρόσωπον κατὰ πρόσωπον. 36 ὃν τρόπον διεκρίθην πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῆς Αἰγύπτου, οὕτως κρινῶ ὑμᾶς, λέγει Κύριος· 37 καὶ διάξω ὑμᾶς ὑπὸ τὴν ράβδον μου καὶ εἰσάξω ὑμᾶς ἐν ἀριθμῷ 38 καὶ ἐκλέξω ἐξ ὑμῶν τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς καὶ τοὺς ἀφεστηκότας, διότι ἐκ τῆς παροικεσίας αὐτῶν ἐξάξω αὐτούς, καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται· καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος Κύριος. 39 καὶ ὑμεῖς οἶκος ᾿Ισραήλ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος· ἕκαστος τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ ἐξάρατε· καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰ ὑμεῖς εἰσακούετέ μου καὶ τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ ἅγιον οὐ βεβηλώσετε οὐκέτι ἐν τοῖς δώροις ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν ὑμῶν· 40 διότι ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ ἁγίου μου, ἐπ' ὄρους ὑψηλοῦ, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἐκεῖ δουλεύσουσί μοι πᾶς οἶκος ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς τέλος, καὶ ἐκεῖ προσδέξομαι καὶ ἐκεῖ ἐπισκέψομαι τὰς ἀπαρχὰς ὑμῶν καὶ τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τῶν ἀφορισμῶν ὑμῶν ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἁγιάσμασιν ὑμῶν· 41 ἐν ὀσμῇ εὐωδίας προσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ ἐξαγαγεῖν με ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῶν λαῶν καὶ εἰσδέχεσθαι ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῶν χωρῶν, ἐν αἷς διεσκορπίσθητε ἐν αὐταῖς, καὶ ἁγιασθήσομαι ἐν ὑμῖν κατ' ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν λαῶν. 42 καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐν τῷ εἰσαγαγεῖν με ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν γῆν τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, εἰς τὴν γῆν, εἰς ἣν ᾖρα τὴν χεῖρά μου τοῦ δοῦναι αὐτὴν τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν. 43 καὶ μνησθήσεσθε ἐκεῖ τὰς ὁδοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ὑμῶν, ἐν οἷς ἐμιαίνεσθε ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ κόψεσθε τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν ἐν πάσαις ταῖς κακίαις ὑμῶν. 44 καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαί με οὕτως ὑμῖν, ὅπως τὸ ὄνομά μου μὴ βεβηλωθῇ κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς ὑμῶν τὰς κακὰς καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ὑμῶν τὰ διεφθαρμένα, λέγει Κύριος. (Μασ. ΚΑ´ 1). 45 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων· 46 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ Θαιμὰν καὶ ἐπίβλεψον ἐπὶ Δαρὸμ καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπὶ δρυμὸν ἡγούμενον Ναγὲβ 47 καὶ ἐρεῖς τῷ δρυμῷ Ναγέβ· ἄκουε λόγον Κυρίου· τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀνάπτω ἐν σοὶ πῦρ, καὶ καταφάγεται ἐν σοὶ πᾶν ξύλον χλωρὸν καὶ πᾶν ξύλον ξηρόν, οὐ σβεσθήσεται ἡ φλὸξ ἡ ἐξαφθεῖσα, καὶ κατακαυθήσεται ἐν αὐτῇ πᾶν πρόσωπον ἀπὸ ἀπηλιώτου ἕως βορρᾶ· 48 καὶ ἐπιγνώσεται πᾶσα σὰρξ ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐξέκαυσα αὐτὸ καὶ οὐ σβεσθήσεται. 49 καὶ εἶπα· μηδαμῶς Κύριε Κύριε· αὐτοὶ λέγουσι πρός με· οὐχὶ παραβολή ἐστι λεγομένη αὕτη;
