Jeremiah 5

KING JAMES BIBLE	LXX
1 Run 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.	1 περιδραμετε εν ταις οδοις ιερουσαλημ και ιδετε και γνωτε και ζητησατε εν ταις πλατειαις αυτης εαν ευρητε ανδρα ει εστιν ποιων κριμα και ζητων πιστιν και ιλεως εσομαι αυτοις λεγει κυριος
2 And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.	2 ζη κυριος λεγουσιν δια τουτο ουκ επι ψευδεσιν ομνυουσιν
3 O 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.	3 κυριε οι οφθαλμοι σου εις πιστιν εμαστιγωσας αυτους και ουκ επονεσαν συνετελεσας αυτους και ουκ ηθελησαν δεξασθαι παιδειαν εστερεωσαν τα προσωπα αυτων υπερ πετραν και ουκ ηθελησαν επιστραφηναι
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.	4 και εγω ειπα ισως πτωχοι εισιν διοτι ουκ εδυνασθησαν οτι ουκ εγνωσαν οδον κυριου και κρισιν θεου
5 I 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.	5 πορευσομαι προς τους αδρους και λαλησω αυτοις οτι αυτοι επεγνωσαν οδον κυριου και κρισιν θεου και ιδου ομοθυμαδον συνετριψαν ζυγον διερρηξαν δεσμους
6 Wherefore 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.	6 δια τουτο επαισεν αυτους λεων εκ του δρυμου και λυκος εως των οικιων ωλεθρευσεν αυτους και παρδαλις εγρηγορησεν επι τας πολεις αυτων παντες οι εκπορευομενοι απ' αυτων θηρευθησονται οτι επληθυναν ασεβειας αυτων ισχυσαν εν ταις αποστροφαις αυτων
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.	7 ποια τουτων ιλεως γενωμαι σοι οι υιοι σου εγκατελιπον με και ωμνυον εν τοις ουκ ουσιν θεοις και εχορτασα αυτους και εμοιχωντο και εν οικοις πορνων κατελυον
8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.	8 ιπποι θηλυμανεις εγενηθησαν εκαστος επι την γυναικα του πλησιον αυτου εχρεμετιζον
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?	9 μη επι τουτοις ουκ επισκεψομαι λεγει κυριος η εν εθνει τοιουτω ουκ εκδικησει η ψυχη μου
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.	10 αναβητε επι τους προμαχωνας αυτης και κατασκαψατε συντελειαν δε μη ποιησητε υπολιπεσθε τα υποστηριγματα αυτης οτι του κυριου εισιν
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.	11 οτι αθετων ηθετησεν εις εμε λεγει κυριος οικος ισραηλ και οικος ιουδα
12 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:	12 εψευσαντο τω κυριω εαυτων και ειπαν ουκ εστιν ταυτα ουχ ηξει εφ' ημας κακα και μαχαιραν και λιμον ουκ οψομεθα
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.	13 οι προφηται ημων ησαν εις ανεμον και λογος κυριου ουχ υπηρχεν εν αυτοις ουτως εσται αυτοις
14 Wherefore 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.	14 δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ ανθ' ων ελαλησατε το ρημα τουτο ιδου εγω δεδωκα τους λογους μου εις το στομα σου πυρ και τον λαον τουτον ξυλα και καταφαγεται αυτους
15 Lo, 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.	15 ιδου εγω επαγω εφ' υμας εθνος πορρωθεν οικος ισραηλ λεγει κυριος εθνος ου ουκ ακουση της φωνης της γλωσσης αυτου
16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.	16 παντες ισχυροι
17 And 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.	17 και κατεδονται τον θερισμον υμων και τους αρτους υμων και κατεδονται τους υιους υμων και τας θυγατερας υμων και κατεδονται τα προβατα υμων και τους μοσχους υμων και κατεδονται τους αμπελωνας υμων και τους συκωνας υμων και τους ελαιωνας υμων και αλοησουσιν τας πολεις τας οχυρας υμων εφ' αις υμεις πεποιθατε επ' αυταις εν ρομφαια
18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.	18 και εσται εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις λεγει κυριος ο θεος σου ου μη ποιησω υμας εις συντελειαν
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.	19 και εσται οταν ειπητε τινος ενεκεν εποιησεν κυριος ο θεος ημων ημιν απαντα ταυτα και ερεις αυτοις ανθ' ων εδουλευσατε θεοις αλλοτριοις εν τη γη υμων ουτως δουλευσετε αλλοτριοις εν γη ουχ υμων
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,	20 αναγγειλατε ταυτα εις τον οικον ιακωβ και ακουσθητω εν τω ιουδα
21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:	21 ακουσατε δη ταυτα λαος μωρος και ακαρδιος οφθαλμοι αυτοις και ου βλεπουσιν ωτα αυτοις και ουκ ακουουσιν
22 Fear 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?	22 μη εμε ου φοβηθησεσθε λεγει κυριος η απο προσωπου μου ουκ ευλαβηθησεσθε τον ταξαντα αμμον οριον τη θαλασση προσταγμα αιωνιον και ουχ υπερβησεται αυτο και ταραχθησεται και ου δυνησεται και ηχησουσιν τα κυματα αυτης και ουχ υπερβησεται αυτο
23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.	23 τω δε λαω τουτω εγενηθη καρδια ανηκοος και απειθης και εξεκλιναν και απηλθοσαν
24 Neither 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.	24 και ουκ ειπον εν τη καρδια αυτων φοβηθωμεν δη κυριον τον θεον ημων τον διδοντα ημιν υετον προιμον και οψιμον κατα καιρον πληρωσεως προσταγματος θερισμου και εφυλαξεν ημιν
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.	25 αι ανομιαι υμων εξεκλιναν ταυτα και αι αμαρτιαι υμων απεστησαν τα αγαθα αφ' υμων
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.	26 οτι ευρεθησαν εν τω λαω μου ασεβεις και παγιδας εστησαν διαφθειραι ανδρας και συνελαμβανοσαν
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.	27 ως παγις εφεσταμενη πληρης πετεινων ουτως οι οικοι αυτων πληρεις δολου δια τουτο εμεγαλυνθησαν και επλουτησαν
28 They 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.	28 και παρεβησαν κρισιν ουκ εκριναν κρισιν ορφανου και κρισιν χηρας ουκ εκρινοσαν
29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?	29 μη επι τουτοις ουκ επισκεψομαι λεγει κυριος η εν εθνει τω τοιουτω ουκ εκδικησει η ψυχη μου
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;	30 εκστασις και φρικτα εγενηθη επι της γης
31 The 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?	31 οι προφηται προφητευουσιν αδικα και οι ιερεις επεκροτησαν ταις χερσιν αυτων και ο λαος μου ηγαπησεν ουτως και τι ποιησετε εις τα μετα ταυτα
