Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 На стра́жи мое́й ста́нꙋ, и҆ взы́дꙋ на ка́мень, и҆ посмотрю̀ є҆́же ви́дѣти, что̀ возгл҃етъ во мнѣ̀ и҆ что̀ ѿвѣща́ю на ѡ҆бличе́нїе моѐ.
1 I will stand at my watch and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
2 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ гдⷭ҇ь ко мнѣ̀ и҆ речѐ: впишѝ видѣ́нїе, и҆ ꙗ҆́вѣ на дскѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ да пости́гнетъ чита́ѧй ѧ҆̀.
2 Yahweh answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.
3 Занѐ є҆щѐ видѣ́нїе на вре́мѧ, и҆ просїѧ́етъ въ коне́цъ, а҆ не вотщѐ: а҆́ще ᲂу҆ме́длитъ, потерпѝ є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ды́й прїи́детъ и҆ не ᲂу҆ме́длитъ.
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay.
4 А҆́ще ᲂу҆сꙋмни́тсѧ, не бл҃говоли́тъ дш҃а̀ моѧ̀ въ не́мъ: првⷣникъ же (мо́й) ѿ вѣ́ры жи́въ бꙋ́детъ.
4 Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.
5 Презо́рливый же и҆ ѡ҆би́дливый мꙋ́жъ и҆ велича́вый ничесо́же сконча́етъ: и҆́же разширѝ а҆́ки а҆́дъ дꙋ́шꙋ свою̀, и҆ се́й ꙗ҆́кѡ сме́рть ненасыще́нъ: и҆ собере́тъ къ себѣ̀ всѧ̑ ꙗ҆зы́ки и҆ прїи́метъ къ себѣ̀ всѧ̑ лю́ди.
5 Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous: an arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol; he is like death and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations and heaps to himself all peoples.
6 Не сїѧ̑ ли всѧ̑ на него̀ при́тчꙋ прїи́мꙋтъ и҆ гада́нїе въ по́вѣсть є҆гѡ̀; и҆ рекꙋ́тъ: го́ре ᲂу҆множа́ющемꙋ себѣ̀ не сꙋ̑щаѧ є҆гѡ̀, доко́лѣ; и҆ ѡ҆тѧгча́ющемꙋ ᲂу҆́зꙋ свою̀ тѧ́жцѣ.
6 Won’t all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?’
7 Ꙗ҆́кѡ внеза́пꙋ воста́нꙋтъ ᲂу҆грыза́ющїи є҆го̀, и҆ ѡ҆бодрѧ́тсѧ навѣ̑тницы твоѝ, и҆ бꙋ́деши въ разграбле́нїе и҆̀мъ.
7 Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?
8 Поне́же ты̀ плѣни́лъ є҆сѝ страны̑ мнѡ́ги, плѣнѧ́тъ тѧ̀ всѝ ѡ҆ста́вшїи лю́дїе кро́ве ра́ди человѣ́чи и҆ нече́стїѧ землѝ и҆ гра́да и҆ всѣ́хъ живꙋ́щихъ на не́й.
8 Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.
9 Го́ре лихои́мствꙋющымъ лихои́мство ѕло́е до́мꙋ своемꙋ̀, є҆́же ᲂу҆чини́ти на высотѣ̀ гнѣздо̀ своѐ, є҆́же и҆сто́ргнꙋти ѿ рꙋкѝ ѕлы́хъ.
9 Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!
10 Оу҆мы́слилъ є҆сѝ стыдѣ́нїе до́мꙋ своемꙋ̀, сконча́лъ є҆сѝ лю́ди мнѡ́ги, и҆ согрѣшѝ дꙋша̀ твоѧ̀.
10 You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
11 Занѐ ка́мень и҆з̾ стѣны̀ возопїе́тъ, и҆ хрꙋ́щь ѿ дре́ва возглаго́летъ сїѧ̑:
11 For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.
12 ᲂу҆̀, лю́тѣ созида́ющемꙋ гра́дъ кровьмѝ и҆ ᲂу҆готовлѧ́ющемꙋ гра́дъ непра́вдами.
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
13 Не сїѧ̑ ли сꙋ́ть ѿ гдⷭ҇а вседержи́телѧ; и҆ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ша лю́дїе мно́зи ѻ҆гне́мъ, и҆ ꙗ҆зы́цы мно́зи и҆знемого́ша:
13 Behold, isn’t it from Yahweh of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
14 ꙗ҆́кѡ напо́лнитсѧ всѧ̀ землѧ̀ вѣ́дѣнїѧ сла́вы гдⷭ҇ни, ꙗ҆́коже вода̀ мно́га въ мо́ри покры́етъ ѧ҆̀.
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Yahweh’s glory, as the waters cover the sea.
15 Го́ре напаѧ́ющемꙋ по́дрꙋга своего̀ развраще́нїемъ мꙋ́тнымъ, и҆ ᲂу҆поѧва́ющемꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да взира́етъ къ пеще́рамъ и҆́хъ.
15 “Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies!
16 Сы́тость безче́стїѧ ѿ сла́вы и҆спі́й и҆ ты̀: се́рдце, поколе́блисѧ и҆ сотрѧсни́сѧ: ѡ҆бы́де ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ ча́ша десни́цы гдⷭ҇ни, и҆ собра́сѧ безче́стїе на главꙋ̀ твою̀.
16 You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink and be exposed! The cup of Yahweh’s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
17 Зане́же нече́стїе лїва́ново покры́етъ тѧ̀, и҆ стра́сть ѕвѣре́й престраши́тъ тѧ̀, кро́ве ра́ди человѣ́чи и҆ нече́стїѧ землѝ и҆ гра́да и҆ всѣ́хъ живꙋ́щихъ на не́й.
17 For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals will terrify you, because of men’s blood and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.
18 Что̀ по́льзꙋетъ и҆зва́ѧное, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆зваѧ́ша є҆̀; созда́ша слїѧ́нїе, мечта́нїе ло́жное, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆пова̀ созда́вый на созда́нїе своѐ, сотвори́ти кꙋмі́ры нѣмы̑ѧ.
18 “What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?
19 Оу҆̀, лю́тѣ глаго́лющемꙋ ко дре́вꙋ: ѡ҆бодри́сѧ, воста́ни: и҆ ка́менїю: возвы́сисѧ: и҆ то̀ є҆́сть мечта́нїе, и҆ сїѐ є҆́сть скова́нїе зла́та и҆ сребра̀, и҆ всѧ́кагѡ дꙋ́ха нѣ́сть въ не́мъ.
19 Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all within it.
20 Гдⷭ҇ь же во хра́мѣ ст҃ѣ́мъ свое́мъ: да ᲂу҆бои́тсѧ ѿ лица̀ є҆гѡ̀ всѧ̀ землѧ̀.
20 But Yahweh is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… Epistle to the Romans, "But now, without the law, has the righteousness of God been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; for the just shall live by faith." But this fact, that the just shall live by faith, had been previously announced by the prophets.
… into four divisions--prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance--and as each of these divisions has its own virtues, faith is among the parts of justice, and has the chief place with as many of us as know what that saying means, "The just shall live by faith." But if Faith is a goddess, I wonder why these keen lovers of a multitude …
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 2 (1887)
And thus it is written, "The just lives by faith," for we do not as yet see our good, and must therefore live by faith; neither have we in ourselves power to live rightly, but can do so only if He who has given us faith to believe in His help do help us when we believe and pray.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 2 (1887)
The faithful; because it is "by faith that the just shall live." For there is in the Church this order, some go before, others follow; and those who go before make themselves "an example" to those who follow; and those who follow imitate those who go before.
