LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ο λογος ο γενομενος παρα κυριου προς ιερεμιαν οτε απεστειλεν προς αυτον ο βασιλευς σεδεκιας τον πασχωρ υιον μελχιου και σοφονιαν υιον μαασαιου τον ιερεα λεγων	1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, when king Sedecias sent unto him Phassur, the son of Melchias, and Sophonias, the son of Maasias the priest, saying:
2 επερωτησον περι ημων τον κυριον οτι βασιλευς βαβυλωνος εφεστηκεν εφ' ημας ει ποιησει κυριος κατα παντα τα θαυμασια αυτου και απελευσεται αφ' ημων	2 Inquire of the Lord for us, for Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon maketh war against us: if so be the Lord will deal with us according to all his wonderful works, that he may depart from us.
3 και ειπεν προς αυτους ιερεμιας ουτως ερειτε προς σεδεκιαν βασιλεα ιουδα	3 And Jeremias said to them: Thus shall you say to Sedecias:
4 ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω μεταστρεφω τα οπλα τα πολεμικα εν οις υμεις πολεμειτε εν αυτοις προς τους χαλδαιους τους συγκεκλεικοτας υμας εξωθεν του τειχους εις το μεσον της πολεως ταυτης	4 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and the Chaldeans, that besiege you round about the walls: and I will gather them together in the midst of this city.
5 και πολεμησω εγω υμας εν χειρι εκτεταμενη και εν βραχιονι κραταιω μετα θυμου και οργης και παροργισμου μεγαλου	5 And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand, and with a strong arm, and in fury, and in indignation, and in great wrath.
6 και παταξω παντας τους κατοικουντας εν τη πολει ταυτη τους ανθρωπους και τα κτηνη εν θανατω μεγαλω και αποθανουνται	6 And I will strike the inhabitants of this city, men and beasts shall die of a great pestilence.
7 και μετα ταυτα ουτως λεγει κυριος δωσω τον σεδεκιαν βασιλεα ιουδα και τους παιδας αυτου και τον λαον τον καταλειφθεντα εν τη πολει ταυτη απο του θανατου και απο του λιμου και απο της μαχαιρας εις χειρας εχθρων αυτων των ζητουντων τας ψυχας αυτων και κατακοψουσιν αυτους εν στοματι μαχαιρας ου φεισομαι επ' αυτοις και ου μη οικτιρησω αυτους	7 And after this, saith the Lord, I will give Sedecias the king of Juda, and his servants, and his people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, and the sword , and the famine, into the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword, and he shall not be moved to pity, nor spare them, nor shew mercy on them.
8 και προς τον λαον τουτον ερεις ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω δεδωκα προ προσωπου υμων την οδον της ζωης και την οδον του θανατου	8 And to this people thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
9 ο καθημενος εν τη πολει ταυτη αποθανειται εν μαχαιρα και εν λιμω και ο εκπορευομενος προσχωρησαι προς τους χαλδαιους τους συγκεκλεικοτας υμας ζησεται και εσται η ψυχη αυτου εις σκυλα και ζησεται	9 He that shall abide in this city, shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that shall go out and flee over to the Chaldeans, that besiege you, shall live, and his life shall be to him as a spoil.
10 διοτι εστηρικα το προσωπον μου επι την πολιν ταυτην εις κακα και ουκ εις αγαθα εις χειρας βασιλεως βαβυλωνος παραδοθησεται και κατακαυσει αυτην εν πυρι	10 For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the Lord: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
11 ο οικος βασιλεως ιουδα ακουσατε λογον κυριου	11 And to the house of the king of Juda: Hear ye the word of the Lord,
12 οικος δαυιδ ταδε λεγει κυριος κρινατε το πρωι κριμα και κατευθυνατε και εξελεσθε διηρπασμενον εκ χειρος αδικουντος αυτον οπως μη αναφθη ως πυρ η οργη μου και καυθησεται και ουκ εσται ο σβεσων	12 O house of David, this saith the Lord: Judge ye judgement in the morning, and deliver him that is oppressed by violence out of the hand of the oppressor: lest my indignation go forth like a fire, and be kindled, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your ways.
13 ιδου εγω προς σε τον κατοικουντα την κοιλαδα σορ την πεδινην τους λεγοντας τις πτοησει ημας η τις εισελευσεται προς το κατοικητηριον ημων	13 dummy verses inserted by amos
14 και αναψω πυρ εν τω δρυμω αυτης και εδεται παντα τα κυκλω αυτης	14 Behold I come to thee that dwelleth in a valley upon a rock above a plain, saith the Lord: and you say: Who shall strike us? and who shall enter into our houses?
	15 But I will visit upon you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof: and it shall devour all things round about it.
