Jeremias 28

1Thus says the Lord; Behold, I stir up against Babylon, and against the Chaldeans dwelling therein, a deadly burning wind.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξεγείρω ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Χαλδαίους ἄνεμον καύσωνα διαφθείροντα.

2And I will send forth against Babylon spoilers, and they shall spoil her, and shall ravage her land. Woe to Babylon round about her in the day of her affliction.Καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ εἰς Βαβυλῶνα ὑβριστὰς, καὶ καθυβρίσουσιν αὐτὴν, καὶ λυμανοῦνται τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς· οὐαὶ ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα κυκλόθεν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κακώσεως αὐτῆς.

3Let the archer bend his bow, and him that has armor put it on: and spare you not her young men, but destroy you all her host.Τεινέτω ὁ τείνων τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ, καὶ περιθέσθω ᾧ ἐστιν ὅπλα αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ φείσησθε ἐπὶ τοὺς νεανίσκους αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀφανίσατε πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν αὐτῆς.

4And slain men shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and men pierced through shall fall without it.Καὶ πεσοῦνται τραυματίαι ἐν γῇ Χαλδαίων, καὶ κατακεκεντημένοι ἔξωθεν αὐτῆς.

5For Israel and Juda have not been forsaken of their God, of the Lord Almighty; whereas their land was filled with iniquity against the holy things of Israel.Διότι οὐκ ἐχήρευσεν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδας ἀπὸ Θεοῦ αὐτῶν, ἀπὸ Κυρίου παντοκράτορος, ὅτι ἡ γῆ αὐτῶν ἐπλήσθη ἀδικίας ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων Ἰσραήλ.

6Flee you out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every one his soul: and be not overthrown in her iniquity; for it is the time of her retribution from the Lord; he is rendering to her a recompence.Φεύγετε ἐκ μέσου Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἀνασώζετε ἕκαστος τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ ἀποῤῥιφῆτε ἐν τῇ ἀδικίᾳ αὐτῆς, ὅτι καιρὸς ἐκδικήσεως αὐτῆς ἐστι παρὰ Κυρίου, ἀνταπόδομα αὐτὸς ἀνταποδίδωσιν αὐτῇ.

7Babylon has been a golden cup in the Lord's hand, causing all the earth to be drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore they were shaken.Ποτήριον χρυσοῦν Βαβυλὼν ἐν χειρὶ Κυρίου, μεθύσκον πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴνου αὐτῆς ἐπίοσαν ἔθνη, διατοῦτο ἐσαλεύθησαν.

8And Babylon is fallen suddenly, and is broken to pieces: lament for her; take balm for her deadly wound, if by any means she may be healed.Καὶ ἄφνω ἔπεσε Βαβυλὼν, καὶ συνετρίβη· θρηνεῖτε αὐτὴν, λάβετε ῥητίνην τῇ διαφθορᾷ αὐτῆς, εἴπως ἰαθήσεται.

9We tried to heal Babylon, but she was not healed: let us forsake her, and depart every one to his own country: for her judgment has reached to the heaven, it has mounted up to the stars.Ἰατρεύσαμεν τὴν Βαβυλῶνα, καὶ οὐκ ἰάθη· ἐγκαταλίπωμεν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἀπέλθωμεν ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἤγγικεν εἰς οὐρανὸν τὸ κρίμα αὐτῆς, ἐξῇρεν ἕως τῶν ἄστρων.

10The Lord has brought forth his judgment: come, and let us declare in Sion the works of the Lord our God.Ἐξήνεγκε Κύριος τὸ κρίμα αὐτοῦ· δεῦτε, καὶ ἀναγγείλωμεν ἐν Σιὼν τὰ ἔργα Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν.

11Prepare the arrows; fill the quivers: the Lord has stirred up the spirit of the king of the Medes: for his wrath is against Babylon, to destroy it utterly; for it is the Lord's vengeance, it is the vengeance of his people.Παρασκευάζετε τὰ τοξεύματα, πληροῦτε τὰς φαρέτρας· ἤγειρε Κύριος τὸ πνεῦμα βασιλέως Μήδων, ὅτι εἰς Βαβυλῶνα ἡ ὀργὴ αὐτοῦ, τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτὴν, ὅτι ἐκδίκησις Κυρίου ἐστὶν, ἐκδίκησις λαοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν.

12Lift up a standard on the walls of Babylon, prepare the quivers, rouse the guards, prepare the weapons: for the Lord has taken the work in hand, and will execute what he has spoken against the inhabitants of Babylon,Ἐπὶ τειχέων Βαβυλῶνος ἄρατε σημεῖον, ἐπιστήσατε φαρέτρας, ἐγείρατε φυλακὰς, ἑτοιμάσατε ὅπλα, ὅτι ἐνεχείρισε, καὶ ποιήσει Κύριος ἃ ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Βαβυλῶνα,

13dwelling on many waters, and amidst the abundance of her treasures; your end is come verily into your bowels.κατασκηνοῦντας ἐφʼ ὕδασι πολλοῖς, καὶ ἐπὶ πλήθει θησαυρῶν αὐτῆς· ἥκει τὸ πέρας σου ἀληθῶς εἰς τὰ σπλάγχνα σου.

14For the Lord has sworn by his arm, saying, I will fill you with men as with locusts; and they that come down shall cry against you.Ὅτι ὤμοσε Κύριος κατὰ τοῦ βραχίονος αὐτοῦ, διότι πληρώσω σε ἀνθρώπων ὡσεὶ ἀκρίδων, καὶ φθέγξονται ἐπὶ σὲ οἱ καταβαίνοντες.

15The Lord made the earth by his power, preparing the world by his wisdom, by his understanding he stretched out the heaven.Κύριος ποιῶν γῆν ἐν τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ, ἑτοιμάζων οἰκουμένην ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῇ συνέσει αὐτοῦ ἐξέτεινε τὸν ουρανὸν,

16At his voice he makes a sound of water in the heaven, and brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth; he makes lightnings for rain, and brings light out of his treasures.εἰς φωνὴν ἔθετο ἦχος ὕδατος ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἀνήγαγε νεφέλας ἀπʼ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς· ἀστραπὰς εἰς ὑετὸν ἐποίησε, καὶ ἐξήγαγε φῶς ἐκ τῶν θησαυρῶν αὐτοῦ.

17Every man has completely lost understanding; every goldsmith is confounded because of his graven images: for they have cast false gods, there is no breath in them.Ἐματαιώθη πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ἀπὸ γνώσεως, κατῃσχύνθη πᾶς χρυσοχόος ἀπὸ τῶν γλυπτῶν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ψευδῆ ἐχώνευσαν, οὐκ ἔστι πνεῦμα ἐν αὐτοῖς.

18They are vain works, objects of scorn; in the time of their visitation they shall perish.Μάταιά ἐστιν ἔργα μεμωκημένα, ἐν καιρῷ ἐπισκέψεως αὐτῶν ἀπολοῦνται.

19Not such is Jacob's portion; for he that formed all things, he is his inheritance; the Lord is his name.Οὐ τοιαύτη μερὶς τῷ Ἰακὼβ, ὅτι ὁ πλάσας τὰ πάντα, αὐτός ἐστι κληρονομία αὐτοῦ, Κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ.

20You scatter for me the weapons of war: and I will scatter nations by you, and will destroy kings by means of you.Διασκορπίζεις σύ μοι σκεύη πολέμου, καὶ διασκορπιῶ ἐν σοὶ ἔθνη, καὶ ἐξαρῶ ἐκ σοῦ βασιλεῖς.

21And by you I will scatter the horse and his rider; and by you I will scatter chariots and them that ride in them.Καὶ διασκορπιῶ ἐν σοὶ ἵππον καὶ ἐπιβάτην αὐτοῦ, καὶ διασκορπιῶ ἐν σοὶ ἅρματα καὶ ἀναβάτας αὐτῶν.

22And by you I will scatter youth and maid; and by you I will scatter man and woman.Καὶ διασκορπιῶ ἐν σοὶ νεανίσκον καὶ παρθένον, καὶ διασκορπιῶ ἐν σοὶ ἄνδρα καὶ γυναῖκα.

23And by you I will scatter the shepherd and his flock; and by you I will scatter the husbandman and his husbandry; and by you I will scatter leaders and the captains.Καὶ διασκορπιῶ ἐν σοὶ ποιμένα καὶ τὸ ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ διασκορπιῶ ἐν σοὶ γεωργὸν καὶ τὸ γεώργιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ διασκορπιῶ ἐν σοὶ ἡγεμόνας καὶ στρατηγούς σου.

24And I will recompense to Babylon and to all the Chaldeans that dwell there all their mischiefs that they have done to Sion before your eyes, says the Lord.Καὶ ἀνταποδώσω τῇ Βαβυλῶνι καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσι Χαλδαίοις πάσας τὰς κακίας αὐτῶν, ἃς ἐποίησαν ἐπὶ Σιὼν κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν, λέγει Κύριος.

25Behold, I am against you, the ruined mountain, that destroys the whole earth; and I will stretch out my hand upon you, and will roll you down upon the rocks, and will make you as a burnt mountain.Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πρὸς σὲ τὸ ὄρος τὸ διεφθαρμένον, τὸ διαφθεῖρον πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ κατακυλιῶ σε ἐπὶ τῶν πετρῶν, καὶ δώσω σε ὡς ὄρος ἐμπεπυρισμένον·

26And they shall not take from you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for a foundation: for you shall be a desolation for ever, says the Lord.Καὶ οὐ μὴ λάβωσιν ἀπὸ σοῦ λίθον εἰς γωνίαν, καὶ λίθον εἰς θεμέλιον, ὅτι εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἔσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, λέγει Κύριος.

27Lift up a standard in the land, sound the trumpet among the nations, consecrate the nations against her, raise up kings against her by me, and that for the people of Achanaz; set against her engines of war; bring up against her horses as a multitude of locusts.Ἄρατε σημεῖον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, σαλπίσατε ἐν ἔθνεσι σάλπιγγι, ἁγιάσατε ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἔθνη, παραγγείλατε ἐπʼ αὐτὴν, βασιλεῖς ἄρατε παρʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ τοῖς Ἀχαναζέοις· ἐπιστήσατε ἐπʼ αὐτὴν βελοστάσεις, ἀναβιβάσατε ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἵππον ὡς ἀκρίδων πλῆθος.

28Bring up nations against her, even the king of the Medes and of the whole earth, his rulers, and all his captains.Ἀναβιβάσατε ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἔθνη, τὸν βασιλέα τῶν Μήδων καὶ πάσης τῆς γῆς, τοὺς ἡγουμένους αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς στρατηγοὺς αὐτοῦ.

29The earth has quaked and been troubled, because the purpose of the Lord has risen up against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, and uninhabitable.Ἐσείσθη ἡ γῆ, καὶ ἐπόνεσε, διότα ἐξανέστη ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα λογισμὸς Κυρίου, τοῦ θεῖναι τὴν γῆν Βαβυλῶνος εἰς ἀφανισμὸν, καὶ μὴ κατοικεῖσθαι αὐτήν.

30The warrior of Babylon has failed to fight; they shall sit there in the siege; their power is broken; they are become like women; her tabernacles have been set on fire; her bars are broken.Ἐξέλιπε μαχητὴς Βαβυλῶνος τοῦ πολεμεῖν, καθήσονται ἐκεῖ ἐν περιοχῇ, ἐθραύσθη ἡ δυναστεία αὐτῶν, ἐγενήθησαν ὡσεὶ γυναῖκες· ἐνεπυρίσθη τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτῆς, συνετρίβησαν οἱ μοχλοὶ αὐτῆς.

31One shall rush, running to meet another runner, and one shall go with tidings to meet another with tidings, to bring tidings to the king of Babylon, that his city is taken.Διώκων εἰς ἀπάντησιν διώκοντος διώξεται, καὶ ἀναγγέλλων εἰς ἀπάντησιν ἀναγγέλλοντος, τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος, ὅτι ἑάλωκεν ἡ πόλις αὐτοῦ.

32At the end of his passages they were taken, and his cisterns they have burnt with fire, and his warriors are going forth.Ἀπʼ ἐσχάτου τῶν διαβάσεων αὐτοῦ ἐλήφθησαν, καὶ τὰ συστήματα αὐτῶν ἐνέπρησαν ἐν πυρὶ, καὶ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ οἱ πολεμισταὶ ἐξέρχονται.

33For thus says the Lord, The houses of the king of Babylon shall be threshed as a floor in the season; yet a little while, and her harvest shall come.Διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οἶκοι βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, ὡς ἅλων ὥριμος ἀλοηθήσονται· ἔτι μικρὸν, καὶ ἥξει ὁ ἀμητὸς αὐτῆς.

34He has devoured me, he has torn me asunder, airy darkness has come upon me; Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon has swallowed me up, as a dragon has he filled his belly with my delicacies.Κατέφαγέ με, ἐμερίσατό με, κατέλαβέ με σκότος λεπτὸν, Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος κατέπιέ με, ὡς δράκων ἔπλησε τὴν κοιλίαν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς τρυφῆς μου·

35My troubles and my distresses have driven me out into Babylon, shall she that dwells in Sion say; and my blood shall be upon the Chaldeans dwelling there, shall Jerusalem say.Ἔξωσάν με οἱ μόχθοι μου καὶ αἱ ταλαιπωρίαι μου εἰς Βαβυλῶνα, ἐρεῖ κατοικοῦσα Σιὼν, καὶ τὸ αἷμά μου ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Χαλδαίους, ἐρεῖ Ἱερουσαλήμ.

36Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I will judge your adversary, and I will execute vengeance for you; and I will waste her sea, and dry up her fountain.Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ κρινῶ τὴν ἀντίδικόν σου, καὶ ἐκδικήσω τὴν ἐκδίκησίν σου, καὶ ἐρημώσω τὴν θάλασσαν αὐτῆς, καὶ ξηρανῶ τὴν πηγὴν αὐτῆς.

37And Babylon shall be a desolation, and shall not be inhabited.Καὶ ἔσται Βαβυλὼν εἰς ἀφανισμὸν, καὶ οὐ κατοικηθήσεται.

38For they rose up together as lions, and as lions' whelps.Ὅτι ἅμα ὡς λέοντες ἐξηγέρθησαν, καὶ ὡς σκύμνοι λεόντων.

39In their heat I will give them a draught, and make them drunk, that they may be stupified, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and not awake, says the Lord.Ἐν τῇ θερμασίᾳ αὐτῶν δώσω πότημα αὐτοῖς, καὶ μεθύσω αὐτοὺς, ὅπως καρωθῶσι, καὶ ὑπνώσωσιν ὕπνον αἰώνιον, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξεγερθῶσι, λέγει Κύριος.

40And bring you them down as lambs to the slaughter, and rams with kids.Καὶ καταβίβασον αὐτοὺς ὡς ἄρνας εἰς σφαγὴν, καὶ ὡς κριοὺς μετʼ ἐρίφων.

41How has the boast of all the earth been taken and caught in a snare! how has Babylon become a desolation among the nations!Πῶς ἑάλω καὶ ἐθηρεύθη τὸ καύχημα πάσης τῆς γῆς; πῶς ἐγένετο Βαβυλὼν εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν;

42The sea has come up upon Babylon with the sound of its waves, and she is covered.Ἀνέβη ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα ἡ θάλασσα ἐν ἤχῳ κυμάτων αὐτῆς, καὶ κατεκαλύφθη,

43Her cities are become like a dry and trackless land; not so much as one man shall dwell in it, neither shall a son of man lodge in it.ἐγενήθησαν αἱ πόλεις αὐτῆς ὡς γῆ ἄνυδρος καὶ ἄβατος, οὐ κατοικήσει ἐν αὐτῇ οὐδὲ εἷς, οὐδὲ μὴ καταλύσει ἐν αὐτῇ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου.

44And I will take vengeance on Babylon, and bring forth out of her mouth what she has swallowed down, and the nations shall no more be gathered to her:Καὶ ἐκδικήσω ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα, καὶ ἐξοίσω ἃ κατέπιεν ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐ μὴ συναχθῶσι πρὸς αὐτὴν ἔτι τὰ ἔθνη,

49and in Babylon the slain men of all the earth shall fall.καὶ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι πεσοῦνται τραυματίαι πάσης τῆς γῆς.

50Go forth of the land, you that escape, and stay not; you that are afar off, remember the Lord, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.Ἀνασωζόμενοι ἐκ γῆς πορεύεσθε, καὶ μὴ ἵστασθε· οἱ μακρόθεν μνήσθητε τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀναβήτω ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν ὑμῶν.

51We are ashamed, because we have heard our reproach; disgrace has covered our face; aliens are come into our sanctuary, even into the house of the Lord.Ἠσχύνθημεν ὅτι ἠκούσαμεν ὀνειδισμὸν ἡμῶν, κατεκάλυψεν ἀτιμία τὸ πρόσωπον ἡμῶν, εἰσῆλθον ἀλλογενεῖς εἰς τὰ ἅγια ἡμῶν, εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου.

52Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will take vengeance upon her graven images: and slain men shall fall in all her land.Διατοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ἐκδικήσω ἐπὶ τὰ γλυπτὰ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ αὐτῆς πεσοῦνται τραυματίαι.

53For though Babylon should go up as the heaven, and though she should strengthen her walls with her power, from me shall come they that shall destroy her, says the Lord.Ὅτι ἐὰν ἀναβῇ Βαβυλὼν ὡς ὁ οὐρανὸς, καὶ ὅτι ἐὰν ὀχυρώσῃ τὰ τείχη ἰσχύϊ αὐτῆς, παρʼ ἐμοῦ ἥξουσιν ἐξολοθρεύοντες αὐτὴν, λέγει Κύριος.

54A sound of a cry in Babylon, and great destruction in the land of the Chaldeans:Φωνὴ κραυγῆς ἐν Βαβυλῶνι, καὶ συντριβὴ μεγάλη ἐν γῇ Χαλδαίων,

55for the Lord has utterly destroyed Babylon, and cut off from her the great voice sounding as many waters: he has consigned her voice to destruction.ὅτι ἐξωλόθρευσε Κύριος τὴν Βαβυλῶνα, καὶ ἀπώλεσεν ἀπʼ αὐτῆς φωνὴν μεγάλην ἠχοῦσαν ὡς ὕδατα πολλά· ἔδωκεν εἰς ὄλεθρον φωνὴν αὐτῆς.

56For distress has come upon Babylon, her warriors are taken, their bows are useless: for God recompenses them.Ὅτι ἦλθεν ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα ταλαιπωρία, ἑάλωσαν οἱ μαχηταὶ αὐτῆς, ἐπτόηται τὸ τόξον αὐτῶν, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἀνταποδίδωσιν αὐτοῖς.

57The Lord recompenses, and will make her leaders and her wise men and her captains completely drunk, says the King, the Lord Almighty is his name.Κύριος ἀνταποδίδωσι, καὶ μεθύσει μέθῃ τοὺς ἡγεμόνας αὐτῆς, καὶ τοὺς σοφοὺς αὐτῆς, καὶ τοὺς στρατηγοὺς αὐτῆς, λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς, Κύριος παντοκράτωρ ὄνομα αὐτῷ.

58Thus says the Lord, The wall of Babylon was made broad, but it shall be completely broken down, and her high gates shall be burnt with fire; and the peoples shall not labor in vain, nor the nations fail in their rule.Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, τεῖχος Βαβυλῶνος ἐπλατύνθη, κατασκαπτόμενον κατασκαφήσεται, καὶ αἱ πύλαι αὐτῆς αἱ ὑψηλαὶ ἐμπυρισθήσονται, καὶ οὐ κοπιάσουσι λαοὶ εἰς κενὸν, καὶ ἔθνη ἐν ἀρχῇ ἐκλείψουσιν.

59THE WORD WHICH THE LORD COMMANDED THE PROPHET JEREMIAS to say to Saraeas son of Nerias, son of Maasaeas, when he went from Sedekias king of Juda to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign. And Saraeas was over the bounties.Ὁ ΛΟΓΟΣ ὋΝ ἘΝΕΤΕΙΛΑΤΟ ΚΥΡΙΟΣ ἹΕΡΕΜΙΑ ΤΩ ΠΡΟΦΗΤΗ εἰπεῖν τῷ Σαραίᾳ υἱῷ Νηρείου, υἱοῦ Μαασαίου, ὅτε ἐπορεύετο παρὰ Σεδεκίου βασιλέως Ἰούδα εἰς Βαβυλῶνα, ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τετάρτῳ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ· καὶ Σαραίας ἄρχων δώρων.

60And Jeremias wrote in a book all the evils which should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.Καὶ ἔγραψεν Ἱερεμίας πάντα τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἥξει ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα ἐν βιβλίῳ, πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους τοὺς γεγραμμένους ἐπὶ Βαβυλῶνα.

61And Jeremias said to Saraeas, When you are come to Babylon, and shall see and read all these words;Καὶ εἶπεν Ἱερεμίας πρὸς Σαραίαν, ὅταν ἔλθῃς εἰς Βαβυλῶνα, καὶ ὄψῃ καὶ ἀναγνώσῃ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους,

62then you shall say, O Lord God, you have spoken against this place, to destroy it, and that there should be none to dwell in it, neither man nor beast; for it shall be a desolation for ever.καὶ ἐρεῖς, Κύριε Κύριε, σὺ ἐλάλησας ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, τοῦ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτὸν, καὶ τοῦ μὴ εἶναι ἐν αὐτῷ κατοικοῦντας ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους, ὅτι ἀφανισμὸς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔσται.

63And it shall come to pass, when you shall cease from reading this book, that you shall bind a stone upon it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates;Καὶ ἔσται ὅταν παύσῃ τοῦ ἀναγινώσκειν τὸ βιβλίον τοῦτο, καὶ ἐπιδήσεις ἐπʼ αὐτὸ λίθον, καὶ ῥίψεις αὐτὸ εἰς μέσον τοῦ Εὐφράτου,

64and shall say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and not rise, because of the evils which I bring upon it.καὶ ἐρεῖς, οὕτως καταδύσεται Βαβυλὼν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀναστῇ ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν κακῶν, ὧν ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπʼ αὐτήν.
