Jeremiah 5

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Peshitta
1 Go about through the streets of Jerusalem, and see, and consider, and seek in the broad places thereof, if you can fins a man that executeth judgement, and seeketh faith: and I will be merciful unto it.	1 ܐܬܟܪܟܘ ܒܫ̈ܘܩܝܗ̇ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܚܙܘ ܘܕܥܘ ܘܒܥܘ ܒ̈ܦܠܛܘܬܗ̇ ܐܢ ܬܫܟܚܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܕܥܒܕ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܫܒܘܩ ܠܗ̇
2 And though they say: The Lord liveth; this also they will swear falsely.	2 ܘܐܢ ܚܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܝܡܝܢ
3 O Lord, thy eyes are upon truth: thou hast struck them, and they have not grieved: thou hast bruised them, and they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than the rock, and they have refused to return.	3 ܡܪܝܐ ܥܝܢ̈ܝܟ ܥܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܡܚܝܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܟܪܗܘ ܓܡܪܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܘ ܠܡܩܒܠܘ ܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܩܫܝܘ ܐ̈ܦܝܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܘ ܠܡܬܒ
4 But I said: Perhaps these are poor and foolish, that know not the way of the Lord, the judgement of their God.	4 ܘܐܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܣ̈ܟܝܢܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܣܛܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܐܘܪܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܕܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܗܘܢ
5 I will go therefore to the great men, and I will speak to them: for they known the way of the Lord, the judgement of their God: and behold these have together broken the yoke more, and have burst the bonds.	5 ܐܙܠ ܠܝ ܠܘܬ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܘܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܝܕܥܘ ܐܘܪܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܕܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܗܘܢ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܚܕܐ ܬܒܪܘ ܢܝܪܐ ܘܦܣܩܘ ܚ̈ܢܩܐ
6 Wherefore a lion out of the wood hath slain them, a wolf in the evening, hath spoiled them, a leopard watcheth for their cities: every one that shall go out thence shall be taken, because their transgressions are multiplied, their rebellions are strengthened.	6 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܢܬܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܐ ܘܕܐ̈ܒܝ ܪܡܫܐ ܢܒܙܥܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܢܡܪܐ ܢܟܡܢ ܥܠ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܕܢܦܘܩ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܬܬܒܪ ܡܛܠ ܕܣܓܝܘ ܚ̈ܘܒܝܗܘܢ ܘܥܫܢܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܘܒܘܢ
7 How can I be merciful to thee? thy children have forsaken me, and swear by them that are not gods: I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and rioted in the harlot's house.	7 ܥܠ ܐܝܕܐ ܐܫܒܘܩ ܠܟܝ ܒܢܝ̈ܟܝ ܫܒܩܘܢܝ ܘܐܝܡܘ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܘܣܒܥܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܓܪܘ ܘܒܝܬ ܙܢܝ̈ܬܐ ܐܬܟܬܫܘ
8 They are become as amorous horses and stallions, every one neighed after his neighbor's wife.	8 ܐܝܟ ܪ̈ܟܫܐ ܐܘܫ̈ܢܐ ܥܗܪ̈ܐ ܗܘܘ ܓܒܪ ܥܠ ܐܢܬܬ ܚܒܪܗ ܨܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ
9 Shall I not visit for these things, sayeth the Lord? and shall not my soul take revenge on such a nation?	9 ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܦܩܘܕ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܒܥܡܐ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܬܢܩܡ ܢܦܫܝ
10 Scale down the walls thereof, and throw them down, but do not utterly destroy: take away the branches thereof, because they are not the Lord's.	10 ܣܩܘ ܒܫܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܘܥܩܘܪܘ ܘܓܡܘܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܫܬܐ̈ܣܝܗ̇ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܢܝ̈ܢ
11 For the house of Israel, and the house of Juda have greatly transgressed against me, saith the Lord.	11 ܡܛܠ ܕܡܕܓܠܘ ܕܓܠܘ ܒܝ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܒ̈ܢܝ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
12 They have denied the Lord, and said, It is not he: and the evil shall not come upon us: we shall not see the sword and famine.	12 ܕܓܠܘ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܬܐܬܐ ܥܠܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܚܪܒܐ ܘܟܦܢܐ ܠܐ ܢܚܙܐ
13 The prophets have spoken in the wind, and there was no word of God in them: these things therefore shall befall them.	13 ܘܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܥܠܥܠܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܠܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܬܥܒܕ ܠܗܘܢ
14 Thus saith the Lord the God of hosts: Because you have spoken this word, behold I will make my words in thy mouth as fire, and this people as wood, and it shall devour them.	14 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܚܠܦ ܕܡܠܠܬܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܝ ܒܦܘܡܟ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܩܝ̈ܣܐ ܘܬܐܟܘܠ ܐܢܘܢ
15 Behold I will bring upon you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: a strong nation, an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou shalt not know, nor understand what they say.	15 ܗܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܡܐ ܗܘ ܥܫܝܢܐ ܥܡܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܥܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܕܥ ܠܫܢܗ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܡܥ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܡܠܠ
16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all valiant.	16 ܓܓܪ̈ܬܗ ܐܝܟ ܩܒܪ̈ܐ ܦܬܝܚ̈ܢ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܝܢ
17 And they shall eat up thy corn, and thy bread: they shall devour thy sons, and thy daughters: they shall eat up thy flocks, and thy herds: they shall eat thy vineyards, and thy figs: and with the sword they shall destroy thy strong cities, wherein thou trustest.	17 ܢܐܟܘܠ ܚܨܕܟ ܘܠܚܡܟ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܒ̈ܢܝܟ ܘܒܢ̈ܬܟ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܥܢܟ ܘܬܘܪ̈ܝܟ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܓܘܦܢ̈ܝܟ ܘܬܐ̈ܢܝܟ ܢܡܣܟܢ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܬܘܩܦܟ ܕܐܢܬ ܬܟܝܠ ܥܠܝܗܝܢ ܒܚܪܒܐ
18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the Lord, I will not bring you to utter destruction.	18 ܘܐܦ ܒܝ̈ܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܐܣܝܦܟܘܢ
19 And if you shall say: why hath the Lord our God done all these things to us? thou shalt say to them: As you have forsaken me, and served a strange god in your own land, so shall you serve strangers in a land that is not your own.	19 ܘܢܗܘܐ ܟܕ ܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܠܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܬܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܕܫܒܩܬܘܢܢܝ ܘܦܠܚܬܘܢ ܠܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܐ ܒܐܪܥܟܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܬܦܠܚܘܢ ܠܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܠܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ
20 Declare ye this to the house of Jacob, and publish it in Juda, saying:	20 ܚܘܘ ܗܕܐ ܒܒܝܬ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܐܫܡܥܘܗ̇ ܒܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ
21 Hear, O foolish people, and without understanding: who have eyes, and see not: and ears, and hear not.	21 ܫܡܥܘ ܗܕܐ ܥܡܐ ܣܟܠܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܠܒܐ ܕܥܝ̈ܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܙܝܢ ܘܐ̈ܕܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ
22 Will not you then fear me, saith the Lord: and will you not repent at my presence? I have set the sand a bound for the sea, an everlasting ordinance, which it shall not pass over: and the waves thereof shall toss themselves, and shall not prevail: they shall swell, and shall not pass over it.	22 ܡܢܝ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܩܕܡܝ ܠܐ ܬܙܘܥܘܢ ܕܣܡܬ ܚܠܐ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܠܝܡܐ ܢܡܘܣܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܪ ܠܗ ܘܡܬܟܬܫ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܘܡܬܬܪ̈ܝܡܝܢ ܓܠܠܘ̈ܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܪܝܢ ܠܗ
23 But the heart of this people is become hard of belief and provoking, they are revolted and gone away.	23 ܘܠܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܐ ܡܪܘܕܐ ܘܡܡܪܡܪܢܐ ܣܛܘ ܘܐܙܠܘ
24 And they have not said in their heart: let us fear the Lord our God, who giveth us the early and the latter rain in due season: who preserveth for us the fullness of the yearly harvest.	24 ܘܠܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܢܕܚܠ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܕܝܗܒ ܡܛܪܐ ܒܟܝܪܝܐ ܘܠܩܝܫܝܐ ܒܙܒܢܗ ܘܥ̈ܠܠܬܐ ܕܩܝܛܐ ܠܣܬܘܐ ܢܛܪ ܠܢ
25 Your iniquities have turned these things away, and your sins have withholden good things from you.	25 ܚ̈ܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܨܠܘ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܚ̈ܛܗܝܟܘܢ ܟܠܘ ܛܒ̈ܬܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ
26 For among my people are found wicked men, that lie in wait as fowlers, setting snares and traps to catch men.	26 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܫܬܟܚܘ ܒܥܡܝ ܚ̈ܛܝܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܘ ܦܚ̈ܐ ܐܝܟ ܣܝܓ̈ܐ ܕܢܬܬܚܕܘܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܢܫܐ
27 As a net is full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit: therefore are they become great and enriched.	27 ܘܐܝܟ ܐܩܠܘܒܝܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܦܪܚܬܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܒܬ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܡܠܝܢ ܢܟܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܝܪܒܘ ܘܥܬܪܘ
28 They are grown gross and fat: andhave most wickedly transgressed my words. They have not judged the cause of the widow, they have not managed the cause of the fatherless, they have not judged the judgement of the poor.	28 ܘܥܒܪܘ ܥܠ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܝܢܐ ܠܐ ܕܢܘ ܘܕܝܢܐ ܕܝܬܡ̈ܐ ܠܐ ܬܪܨܘ ܘܕܝܢܐ ܕܒܝܫ̈ܐ ܠܐ ܕܢܘ
29 Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul take revenge on such a nation?	29 ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܦܩܘܕ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܒܥܡܐ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܬܢܩܡ ܢܦܫܝ
30 Astonishing and wonderful things have been done in the land.	30 ܬܡܗܐ ܘܫܛܝܘܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ
31 The prophets prophesied falsehood, and the priests clapped their hands: and my people loved such things: what then shall be done in the end thereof?	31 ܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܐܬܢܒܝܘ ܫܘܩܪܐ ܘܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܐܚܕܘ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܥܡܝ ܪܚܡܘ ܗܟܢܐ ܘܡܢܐ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܚܪܬܐ
