1 Падѐ ви́лъ, сокрꙋши́сѧ дагѡ́нъ, бы́ша ваѧ̑нїѧ и҆́хъ во ѕвѣ̑ри и҆ ско́ты: но́сите ѧ҆̀ свѧ̑зана ꙗ҆́кѡ бре́мѧ трꙋжда́ющемꙋсѧ и҆ разслабѣ́вшꙋ, 2 и҆ а҆́лчꙋщꙋ и҆ не могꙋ́щꙋ вкꙋ́пѣ, и҆̀же не возмо́гꙋтъ спасти́сѧ ѿ ра́ти, са́ми же плѣне́ни приведо́шасѧ. 3 Послꙋ́шайте менѐ, до́ме і҆а́кѡвль и҆ ве́сь ѡ҆ста́нокъ і҆и҃левъ, носи́мїи ѿ чре́ва и҆ наказꙋ́емїи ѿ дѣ́тска да́же до ста́рости: 4 а҆́зъ є҆́смь, и҆ до́ндеже состарѣ́етесѧ, а҆́зъ є҆́смь, а҆́зъ терплю̀ ва́мъ, а҆́зъ сотвори́хъ и҆ а҆́зъ понесꙋ̀, а҆́зъ под̾имꙋ̀ и҆ сп҃сꙋ́ вы. 5 Комꙋ̀ мѧ̀ ᲂу҆подо́бисте; ви́дите, ᲂу҆хи́трите, заблꙋжда́ющїи, 6 слага́ющїи зла́то и҆з̾ мѣ́ха, и҆ сребро̀ вѣ́сомъ поставлѧ́ютъ въ мѣ́рилѣ, и҆ нае́мше зла́тарѧ сотвори́ша рꙋкотворє́ннаѧ, и҆ прекло́ньшесѧ покланѧ́ютсѧ и҆̀мъ: 7 воздви́жꙋтъ ѧ҆̀ на ра́мѣхъ и҆ хо́дѧтъ: а҆́ще же положа́тъ ѧ҆̀ на мѣ́стѣ свое́мъ, тꙋ̀ лежа́тъ, нижѐ подви́жꙋтсѧ: и҆ и҆́же а҆́ще возопїе́тъ къ ни̑мъ, не ᲂу҆слы́шатъ, ѿ бѣ́дъ не спасꙋ́тъ є҆гѡ̀. 8 Помѧни́те сїѧ̑ и҆ возстени́те, пока́йтесѧ, прельсти́вшїисѧ, ѡ҆брати́тесѧ се́рдцемъ 9 и҆ помѧни́те пє́рваѧ ѿ вѣ́ка, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь бг҃ъ, и҆ нѣ́сть є҆щѐ ра́звѣ менє̀: 10 возвѣща́ѧй пе́рвѣе послѣ̑днѧѧ, пре́жде не́же бы́ти и҆̀мъ, и҆ а҆́бїе сбы́шасѧ: и҆ реко́хъ: ве́сь совѣ́тъ мо́й ста́нетъ, и҆ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка совѣща́хъ, сотворю̀. 11 Призыва́ѧй ѿ востѡ́къ пти́цꙋ, и҆ ѿ землѝ и҆здале́ча, ѡ҆ ни́хже совѣща́хъ: реко́хъ и҆ приведо́хъ, созда́хъ и҆ сотвори́хъ, приведо́хъ и҆̀ и҆ бл҃гопоспѣши́хъ пꙋ́ть є҆гѡ̀. 12 Послꙋ́шайте менѐ, погꙋ́бльшїи се́рдце, сꙋ́щїи дале́че ѿ пра́вды: 13 прибли́жихъ пра́вдꙋ мою̀, и҆ не ᲂу҆дали́тсѧ, и҆ спⷭ҇нїе, є҆́же ѿ менє̀, не ᲂу҆ме́длю: да́хъ въ сїѡ́нѣ спⷭ҇нїе і҆и҃лю во прославле́нїе.

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.

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).
And on this account, he (the Demiurge), being incapable of recognising any spiritual essences, imagined himself to be God alone, and declared through the prophets, "I am God, and besides me there is none else." They further teach that the spirits of wickedness derived their origin from grief.
Thou wilt carry us both when little, and even to grey hairs wilt Thou carry us; for our firmness, when it is Thou, then is it firmness; but when it is our own, then it is infirmity.
