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 Го́ре па́стырємъ, и҆̀же погꙋблѧ́ютъ и҆ расточа́ютъ ѻ҆́вцы па́ствы моеѧ̀, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.
1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” says Yahweh.
2 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди сїѧ̑ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ къ пасꙋ́щымъ люді́й мои́хъ: вы̀ расточи́ли є҆стѐ ѻ҆́вцы моѧ̑, и҆ ѿверго́сте ѧ҆̀, и҆ не посѣти́сте и҆̀хъ, сѐ, а҆́зъ посѣщꙋ̀ на ва́съ по лꙋка́вствꙋ ᲂу҆мышле́нїй ва́шихъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь:
2 Therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, says against the shepherds who feed my people: “You have scattered my flock, driven them away, and have not visited them. Behold, I will visit on you the evil of your doings,” says Yahweh.
3 и҆ а҆́зъ соберꙋ̀ ѡ҆ста́нки ста́да моегѡ̀ ѿ всѣ́хъ земе́ль, въ нѧ́же и҆зверго́хъ и҆̀хъ та́мѡ, и҆ возвращꙋ̀ и҆̀хъ къ селе́нїємъ и҆́хъ, и҆ возрастꙋ́тъ и҆ ᲂу҆мно́жатсѧ.
3 “I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they will be fruitful and multiply.
4 И҆ возста́влю над̾ ни́ми па̑стыри, и҆ ᲂу҆пасꙋ́тъ и҆̀хъ, и҆ не ᲂу҆боѧ́тсѧ ктомꙋ̀, нижѐ ᲂу҆жа́снꙋтсѧ, и҆ ни є҆ди́нъ поги́бнетъ ѿ числа̀, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.
4 I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them. They will no longer be afraid or dismayed, neither will any be lacking,” says Yahweh.
5 Сѐ, дні́е грѧдꙋ́тъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ возста́влю даві́дꙋ восто́къ првⷣный, и҆ црⷭ҇твовати бꙋ́детъ цр҃ь и҆ премⷣръ бꙋ́детъ и҆ сотвори́тъ сꙋ́дъ и҆ пра́вдꙋ на землѝ:
5 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will raise to David a righteous Branch; and he will reign as king and deal wisely, and will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
6 во дне́хъ є҆гѡ̀ спасе́тсѧ і҆ꙋ́да, и҆ і҆и҃ль пребꙋ́детъ въ наде́жди, и҆ сїѐ и҆́мѧ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆́мже нарекꙋ́тъ є҆го̀: гдⷭ҇ь првⷣнъ на́шъ.
6 In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely. This is his name by which he will be called: Yahweh our righteousness.
7 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди, сѐ, дні́е грѧдꙋ́тъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ не рекꙋ́тъ ктомꙋ̀: живе́тъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆́же и҆зведѐ сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы ѿ землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ:
7 “Therefore, behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that they will no more say, ‘As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;’
8 но: живе́тъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆́же и҆зведѐ и҆ преведѐ сѣ́мѧ до́мꙋ і҆и҃лева ѿ землѝ сѣ́верски и҆ ѿ всѣ́хъ земе́ль, въ нѧ́же и҆зве́рже и҆̀хъ та́мѡ, и҆ ѡ҆бита́ти и҆́мꙋтъ въ землѝ свое́й.
8 but, ‘As Yahweh lives, who brought up and who led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ Then they will dwell in their own land.”
9 Ѡ҆ проро́цѣхъ сотре́но є҆́сть се́рдце моѐ во мнѣ̀, вострепета́ша всѧ̑ кѡ́сти моѧ̑, бы́хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ мꙋ́жъ пїѧ́нъ и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ́къ, є҆го́же ѡ҆долѣ̀ вїно̀, ѿ лица̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ и҆ ѿ лица̀ бл҃голѣ́пїѧ сла́вы є҆гѡ̀.
9 Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken. All my bones shake. I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of Yahweh, and because of his holy words.
10 Ꙗ҆́кѡ прелюбодѣѧ́ньми и҆спо́лнена є҆́сть землѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ лица̀ и҆́хъ пла́касѧ землѧ̀, и҆зсхо́ша па̑жити пꙋсты̑нныѧ: и҆ бы́сть тече́нїе и҆́хъ лꙋка́во, и҆ крѣ́пость и҆́хъ та́кожде.
10 “For the land is full of adulterers; for because of the curse the land mourns. The pastures of the wilderness have dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right;
11 Поне́же проро́къ и҆ свѧще́нникъ ѡ҆скверни́шасѧ, и҆ въ домꙋ̀ мое́мъ ѡ҆брѣто́хъ лꙋка́вство и҆́хъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь:
11 for both prophet and priest are profane. Yes, in my house I have found their wickedness,” says Yahweh.
12 тогѡ̀ ра́ди пꙋ́ть и҆́хъ бꙋ́детъ и҆̀мъ по́лзокъ во тьмѣ̀, и҆ по́ткнꙋтсѧ и҆ падꙋ́тъ въ не́мъ: наведꙋ́ бо на ни́хъ ѕла̑ѧ въ лѣ́то посѣще́нїѧ и҆́хъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.
12 Therefore their way will be to them as slippery places in the darkness. They will be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil on them, even the year of their visitation,” says Yahweh.
13 И҆ во проро́цѣхъ самарі́йскихъ ви́дѣхъ беззакѡ́нїѧ: проро́чествовахꙋ чрез̾ ваа́ла и҆ прельща́хꙋ лю́ди моѧ̑ і҆и҃лѧ.
13 “I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria. They prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
14 И҆ во проро́цѣхъ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мскихъ ви́дѣхъ ᲂу҆жа̑снаѧ, прелюбодѣ́йствꙋющихъ и҆ ходѧ́щихъ во лжѝ и҆ скрѣплѧ́ющихъ рꙋ́ки стропти̑вымъ, да не ѿврати́тсѧ кі́йждо ѿ пꙋтѝ своегѡ̀ лꙋка́вагѡ: бы́ша мнѣ̀ всѝ а҆́ки содо́мъ, и҆ ѡ҆бита́ющїи въ не́мъ ꙗ҆́кѡ гомо́рръ.
14 In the prophets of Jerusalem I have also seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one returns from his wickedness. They have all become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.”
15 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди та́кѡ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь си́лъ ко проро́кѡмъ: сѐ, а҆́зъ напита́ю и҆̀хъ пелы́немъ и҆ напою̀ и҆̀хъ же́лчїю, ѿ проро́кѡвъ бо і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мскихъ и҆зы́де ѡ҆скверне́нїе на всю̀ зе́млю.
15 Therefore Yahweh of Armies says concerning the prophets: “Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink poisoned water; for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”
16 Сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь си́лъ: не слꙋ́шайте слове́съ проро́кѡвъ, и҆̀же проро́чествꙋютъ ва́мъ и҆ прельща́ютъ ва́съ: видѣ́нїе ѿ се́рдца своегѡ̀ глаго́лютъ, а҆ не ѿ ᲂу҆́стъ гдⷭ҇нихъ.
16 Yahweh of Armies says, “Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They teach you vanity. They speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of Yahweh.
17 Глаго́лютъ ѿверга́ющымъ мѧ̀: гл҃а гдⷭ҇ь, ми́ръ бꙋ́детъ ва́мъ: и҆ всѣ̑мъ, и҆̀же хо́дѧтъ въ по́хотехъ свои́хъ, и҆ всѧ́комꙋ, ходѧ́щемꙋ въ стропти́вствѣ се́рдца своегѡ̀, реко́ша: не прїи́дꙋтъ на ва́съ ѕла̑ѧ.
17 They say continually to those who despise me, ‘Yahweh has said, “You will have peace;”’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, ‘No evil will come on you.’
18 Кто́ бо бы́сть въ совѣ́тѣ гдⷭ҇ни, и҆ ви́дѣ и҆ слы́ша словеса̀ є҆гѡ̀; кто̀ внѧ́тъ сло́во є҆гѡ̀ и҆ слы́ша;
18 For who has stood in the council of Yahweh, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has listened to my word, and heard it?
19 Сѐ, бꙋ́рѧ ѿ гдⷭ҇а и҆ ꙗ҆́рость и҆схо́дитъ въ сотрѧсе́нїе, ᲂу҆стреми́вшисѧ прїи́детъ на нечести̑выѧ.
19 Behold, Yahweh’s storm, his wrath, has gone out. Yes, a whirling storm! It will burst on the head of the wicked.
20 И҆ ктомꙋ̀ не возврати́тсѧ ꙗ҆́рость гдⷭ҇нѧ, до́ндеже сотвори́тъ сїѐ и҆ до́ндеже соверши́тъ помышле́нїе се́рдца своегѡ̀. Въ послѣ̑днїѧ дни̑ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ете совѣ́тъ є҆гѡ̀.
20 Yahweh’s anger will not return until he has executed and performed the intents of his heart. In the latter days, you will understand it perfectly.
21 Не посыла́хъ проро́ки, а҆ ѻ҆нѝ теча́хꙋ: не гл҃ахъ къ ни̑мъ, и҆ ті́и проро́чествовахꙋ.
21 I didn’t send these prophets, yet they ran. I didn’t speak to them, yet they prophesied.
22 И҆ а҆́ще бы ста́ли въ совѣ́тѣ мое́мъ, слы̑шана сотвори́ли бы словеса̀ моѧ̑ и҆ ѿврати́ли бы люді́й мои́хъ ѿ пꙋтѝ и҆́хъ лꙋка́вагѡ и҆ ѿ начина́нїй и҆́хъ лꙋка́выхъ.
22 But if they had stood in my council, then they would have caused my people to hear my words, and would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23 Бг҃ъ приближа́ѧйсѧ а҆́зъ є҆́смь, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь, а҆ не бг҃ъ и҆здале́ча.
23 “Am I a God at hand,” says Yahweh, “and not a God afar off?
24 А҆́ще ᲂу҆таи́тсѧ кто̀ въ сокрове́нныхъ, и҆ а҆́зъ не ᲂу҆зрю́ ли є҆го̀; речѐ гдⷭ҇ь. Є҆да̀ не́бо и҆ зе́млю не а҆́зъ наполнѧ́ю; речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.
24 Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him?” says Yahweh. “Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” says Yahweh.
25 Слы́шахъ, ꙗ҆̀же глаго́лютъ проро́цы, проро́чествꙋюще во и҆́мѧ моѐ лжꙋ̀ и҆ глаго́люще: ви́дѣхъ со́нъ, (ви́дѣхъ со́нъ).
25 “I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’
26 Доко́лѣ бꙋ́детъ въ се́рдцы проро́кѡвъ прорица́ющихъ лжꙋ̀ и҆ проро́чествꙋющихъ льщє́нїѧ се́рдца своегѡ̀,
26 How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
27 мы́слѧщихъ, да забве́нъ бꙋ́детъ зако́нъ мо́й въ со́нїихъ и҆́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же вѣща́ютъ кі́йждо и҆́скреннемꙋ своемꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́коже забы́ша ѻ҆тцы̀ и҆́хъ и҆́мѧ моѐ ра́ди ваа́ла;
27 They intend to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they each tell his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name because of Baal.
28 Проро́къ, и҆́же и҆́мать сновидѣ́нїе, да вѣща́етъ сновидѣ́нїе своѐ, а҆ и҆́же и҆́мать сло́во моѐ, да глаго́летъ сло́во моѐ во и҆́стинѣ. Что̀ пле́вы ко пшени́цѣ; та́кѡ сло́во моѐ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.
28 The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat?” says Yahweh.
29 Є҆да̀ словеса̀ моѧ̑ не сꙋ́ть ꙗ҆́коже ѻ҆́гнь горѧ́щь, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ мла́тъ сотры́ющь ка́мень;
29 “Isn’t my word like fire?” says Yahweh; “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
30 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди, сѐ, а҆́зъ ко проро́кѡмъ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆̀же кра́дꙋтъ словеса̀ моѧ̑ кі́йждо ѿ и҆́скреннѧгѡ своегѡ̀.
30 “Therefore behold, I am against the prophets,” says Yahweh, “who each steal my words from his neighbor.
31 Сѐ, а҆́зъ на проро́ки, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆зносѧ́щыѧ проро́чєствїѧ ѧ҆зы́комъ и҆ дре́млющыѧ дрема́нїе своѐ.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets,” says Yahweh, “who use their tongues, and say, ‘He says.’
32 Сѐ, а҆́зъ на проро́ки, прорица́ющыѧ со́нїе лжи́во, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ провѣща́ша та̑, и҆ прельсти́ша лю́ди моѧ̑ во лжа́хъ свои́хъ и҆ во пре́лестехъ свои́хъ, а҆́зъ же не посла́хъ и҆́хъ, ни заповѣ́дахъ и҆̀мъ, и҆ по́льзою не ᲂу҆по́льзꙋютъ люді́й си́хъ, (речѐ гдⷭ҇ь).
32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams,” says Yahweh, “who tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting; yet I didn’t send them or command them. They don’t profit this people at all,” says Yahweh.
33 И҆ а҆́ще вопро́сѧтъ лю́дїе сі́и, и҆лѝ проро́къ, и҆лѝ свѧще́нникъ, рекꙋ́ще: ко́е (є҆́сть) бре́мѧ гдⷭ҇не; и҆ рече́ши къ ни̑мъ: вы̀ є҆стѐ бре́мѧ, и҆ пове́ргꙋ ва́съ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.
33 “When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, asks you, saying, ‘What is the message from Yahweh?’ Then you shall tell them, ‘“What message? I will cast you off,” says Yahweh.’
34 И҆ проро́къ, и҆ свѧще́нникъ, и҆ лю́дїе, и҆̀же рекꙋ́тъ: бре́мѧ гдⷭ҇не, посѣщꙋ̀ ме́стїю на мꙋ́жа того̀ и҆ на до́мъ є҆гѡ̀.
34 As for the prophet, the priest, and the people, who say, ‘The message from Yahweh,’ I will even punish that man and his household.
35 Си́це рцы́те кі́йждо ко и҆́скреннемꙋ и҆ ко бра́тꙋ своемꙋ̀: что̀ ѿвѣща̀ гдⷭ҇ь; и҆ что̀ гл҃а гдⷭ҇ь;
35 You will say everyone to his neighbor, and everyone to his brother, ‘What has Yahweh answered?’ and, ‘What has Yahweh said?’
36 И҆ бре́мѧ гдⷭ҇не не помѧне́тсѧ ктомꙋ̀, и҆́бо бре́мѧ бꙋ́детъ комꙋ́ждо сло́во є҆гѡ̀: и҆ преврати́сте словеса̀ бг҃а жива́гѡ, гдⷭ҇а си́лъ, бг҃а на́шегѡ.
36 You will mention the message from Yahweh no more, for every man’s own word has become his message; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of Yahweh of Armies, our God.
37 Сїѧ̑ рцы̀ ко проро́кꙋ: что̀ ѿвѣща̀ тебѣ̀ гдⷭ҇ь; и҆ что̀ гл҃а гдⷭ҇ь;
37 You will say to the prophet, ‘What has Yahweh answered you?’ and, ‘What has Yahweh spoken?’
38 А҆́ще же рече́те: бре́мѧ гдⷭ҇не: сегѡ̀ ра́ди та́кѡ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: поне́же реклѝ є҆стѐ глаго́лъ се́й бре́мѧ гдⷭ҇не, и҆ посла́хъ къ ва́мъ, рекі́й: не глаго́лите бре́мѧ гдⷭ҇не:
38 Although you say, ‘The message from Yahweh,’ therefore Yahweh says: ‘Because you say this word, “The message from Yahweh,” and I have sent to you, telling you not to say, “The message from Yahweh,”
39 сегѡ̀ ра́ди, сѐ, а҆́зъ возмꙋ̀ и҆ пове́ргꙋ ва́съ и҆ гра́дъ, є҆го́же да́хъ ва́мъ и҆ ѻ҆тцє́мъ ва́шымъ, ѿ лица̀ моегѡ̀,
39 therefore behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off with the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence.
40 и҆ да́мъ ва́съ въ поноше́нїе вѣ́чное и҆ въ срамотꙋ̀ вѣ́чнꙋю, ꙗ҆́же никогда̀ забве́нїемъ загла́дитсѧ.
40 I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a perpetual shame, which will not be forgotten.’”

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).
For where outside heaven and earth can I go that from thence my God may come into me who has said, I fill heaven and earth"? Chapter III — Everywhere God Wholly Filleth All Things, But Neither Heaven Nor Earth…
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 1 (1886)
And how shall we preserve the truth that God pervades all things and fills all, as it is written "Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord," and "The Spirit of the Lord filleth the world," if God partly contains and partly is contained?
