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 Кто̀ да́стъ главѣ̀ мое́й во́дꙋ и҆ ѻ҆чесє́мъ мои̑мъ и҆сто́чникъ сле́зъ; и҆ пла́чꙋсѧ де́нь и҆ но́щь ѡ҆ побїе́нныхъ дще́ре люді́й мои́хъ.
1 Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
2 Кто̀ да́стъ мнѣ̀ въ пꙋсты́ни вита́лище послѣ́днее; и҆ ѡ҆ста́влю лю́ди моѧ̑ и҆ ѿидꙋ̀ ѿ ни́хъ: поне́же всѝ любодѣ́йствꙋютъ, собо́рище престꙋ́пникѡвъ.
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people and go from them! For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
3 И҆ налѧко́ша ѧ҆зы́къ сво́й ꙗ҆́кѡ лꙋ́къ: лжа̀ и҆ невѣ́рство ᲂу҆крѣпи́шасѧ на землѝ, и҆́бо ѿ ѕлы́хъ во ѕла̑ѧ произыдо́ша и҆ менѐ не позна́ша, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.
3 “They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood. They have grown strong in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me,” says Yahweh.
4 Кі́йждо ѿ и҆́скреннѧгѡ своегѡ̀ да стреже́тсѧ, и҆ на бра́тїю свою̀ не ᲂу҆пова́йте, и҆́бо всѧ́къ бра́тъ запина́нїемъ запне́тъ, и҆ всѧ́къ дрꙋ́гъ льсти́внѡ наско́читъ.
4 “Everyone beware of his neighbor, and don’t trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go around like a slanderer.
5 Кі́йждо дрꙋ́гꙋ своемꙋ̀ посмѣе́тсѧ, и҆́стины не возглаго́лютъ: наꙋчи́ша ѧ҆зы́къ сво́й глаго́лати лжꙋ̀, непра́вдоваша и҆ не восхотѣ́ша ѡ҆брати́тисѧ.
5 Friends deceive each other, and will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves committing iniquity.
6 Ли́хва на ли́хвꙋ и҆ ле́сть на ле́сть: не восхотѣ́ша ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣти менѐ, речѐ гдⷭ҇ь.
6 Your habitation is in the middle of deceit. Through deceit, they refuse to know me,” says Yahweh.
7 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь си́лъ: сѐ, а҆́зъ разжегꙋ̀ и҆̀хъ и҆ и҆скꙋшꙋ̀ и҆̀хъ: что́ бо и҆́но сотворю̀ ѿ лица̀ лꙋка́вства дще́ри люді́й мои́хъ;
7 Therefore Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, I will melt them and test them; for how should I deal with the daughter of my people?
8 Стрѣла̀ ᲂу҆ѧзвлѧ́ющаѧ ѧ҆зы́къ и҆́хъ, льсти́вїи глаго́лы ᲂу҆́стъ и҆́хъ: прїѧ́телю своемꙋ̀ глаго́летъ ми̑рнаѧ, внꙋ́трь же себє̀ и҆мѣ́етъ враждꙋ̀.
8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow. It speaks deceit. One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart, he waits to ambush him.
9 Є҆да̀ на си́хъ не посѣщꙋ̀; речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆лѝ лю́демъ такѡвы́мъ не ѿмсти́тъ дш҃а̀ моѧ̀;
9 Shouldn’t I punish them for these things?” says Yahweh. “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on a nation such as this?
10 На гора́хъ воспрїими́те пла́чь и҆ тꙋже́нїе и҆ на стезѧ́хъ пꙋсты́ни рыда́нїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ша, за є҆́же не бы́ти человѣ́кѡмъ преходѧ́щымъ: не слы́шаша гла́са ѡ҆бита́нїѧ ѿ пти́цъ небе́сныхъ и҆ да́же до скотѡ́въ, ᲂу҆жасо́шасѧ, ѿидо́ша.
10 I will weep and wail for the mountains, and lament for the pastures of the wilderness, because they are burned up, so that no one passes through; Men can’t hear the voice of the livestock. Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled. They are gone.
11 И҆ да́мъ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ въ преселе́нїе и҆ въ жили́ще ѕмїє́мъ и҆ гра́ды і҆ꙋ̑дины положꙋ̀ въ разоре́нїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ не бꙋ́детъ ѡ҆бита́ющагѡ.
11 “I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling place of jackals. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
12 Кто̀ мꙋ́жъ премꙋ́дръ, и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́етъ сїѐ; и҆ къ немꙋ́же сло́во ᲂу҆́стъ гдⷭ҇нихъ, да возвѣсти́тъ ва́мъ, чесѡ̀ ра́ди поги́бе землѧ̀, сожже́на є҆́сть ꙗ҆́кѡ пꙋсты́нѧ, є҆ѧ́же никто́же прохо́дитъ;
12 Who is wise enough to understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of Yahweh has spoken, that he may declare it? Why has the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?
13 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь ко мнѣ̀: поне́же ѡ҆ста́виша зако́нъ мо́й, є҆го́же да́хъ пред̾ лице́мъ и҆́хъ, и҆ не послꙋ́шаша гла́са моегѡ̀ и҆ не ходи́ша по немꙋ̀,
13 Yahweh says, “Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in my ways,
14 но поидо́ша по и҆зволе́нїю се́рдца своегѡ̀ лꙋка́вагѡ и҆ в̾слѣ́дъ і҆́дѡлѡвъ, и҆̀мже наꙋчи́ша и҆̀хъ ѻ҆тцы̀ и҆́хъ:
14 but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.”
15 сегѡ̀ ра́ди та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь си́лъ, бг҃ъ і҆и҃левъ: сѐ, а҆́зъ напита́ю лю́ди сїѧ̑ тѣснота́ми и҆ въ питїѐ да́мъ и҆̀мъ во́дꙋ же́лчнꙋю,
15 Therefore Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.
16 и҆ расточꙋ̀ и҆̀хъ во ꙗ҆зы́ки, и҆́хже не зна́ша ті́и и҆ ѻ҆тцы̀ и҆́хъ, и҆ послю̀ на ни́хъ ме́чь, до́ндеже и҆стлѧ́тсѧ.
16 I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”
17 Сїѧ̑ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь си́лъ: призови́те плаче́вницъ, и҆ да прїи́дꙋтъ, и҆ ко жена́мъ премꙋ̑дрымъ посли́те, и҆ да вѣща́ютъ
17 Yahweh of Armies says, “Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come. Send for the skillful women, that they may come.
18 и҆ да прїи́мꙋтъ над̾ ва́ми пла́чь, и҆ да и҆зведꙋ́тъ ѻ҆́чи ва́ши сле́зы, и҆ вѣ́жди ва́ши да и҆злїю́тъ во́дꙋ:
18 Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears and our eyelids gush out with waters.
19 занѐ гла́съ пла́ча слы́шанъ бы́сть во сїѡ́нѣ: ка́кѡ бѣ́дни бы́хомъ, постыжде́ни ѕѣлѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆ста́вихомъ зе́млю и҆ ѿри́нꙋхомъ жили̑ща на̑ша;
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, ‘How we are ruined! We are greatly confounded because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
20 Тѣ́мже слы́шите, жєны̀, сло́во гдⷭ҇не, и҆ прїими́те ᲂу҆ши́ма ва́шима словеса̀ ᲂу҆́стъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ наꙋчи́те дщє́ри ва́шѧ рыда́нїю, и҆ ка́ѧждо и҆́скреннюю свою̀ пла́чꙋ:
20 Yet hear Yahweh’s word, you women. Let your ear receive the word of his mouth. Teach your daughters wailing. Everyone teach her neighbor a lamentation.
21 поне́же взы́де сме́рть сквозѣ̀ ѻ҆́кна ва̑ша и҆ вни́де въ зе́млю ва́шꙋ погꙋби́ти ѻ҆троча́та ѿвнѣ̀ и҆ ю҆́ношы ѿ сто́гнъ.
21 For death has come up into our windows. It has entered into our palaces to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets.
22 (Глаго́ли:) сїѧ̑ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆ бꙋ́дꙋтъ ме́ртвїи человѣ́цы въ примѣ́ръ на лицы̀ по́лѧ землѝ ва́шеѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сѣ́но созадѝ жнꙋ́щагѡ, и҆ не бꙋ́детъ собира́ющагѡ.
22 Speak, “Yahweh says, “‘The dead bodies of men will fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester. No one will gather them.’”
23 Та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: да не хва́литсѧ мꙋ́дрый мꙋ́дростїю свое́ю, и҆ да не хва́литсѧ крѣ́пкїй крѣ́постїю свое́ю, и҆ да не хва́литсѧ бога́тый бога́тствомъ свои́мъ:
23 Yahweh says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.
24 но ѡ҆ се́мъ да хва́литсѧ хвалѧ́йсѧ, є҆́же разꙋмѣ́ти и҆ зна́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь гдⷭ҇ь творѧ́й млⷭ҇ть и҆ сꙋ́дъ и҆ пра́вдꙋ на землѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ си́хъ во́лѧ моѧ̀, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.
24 But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness on the earth, for I delight in these things,” says Yahweh.
25 Сѐ, дні́е грѧдꙋ́тъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ посѣщꙋ̀ на всѣ́хъ, и҆̀же ѡ҆брѣ́занꙋю и҆́мꙋтъ пло́ть свою̀:
25 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will punish all those who are circumcised only in their flesh:
26 на є҆гѵ́петъ и҆ на і҆дꙋме́ю, и҆ на є҆дѡ́мъ и҆ на сы́ны а҆ммѡ̑ни, и҆ на сы́ны мѡа̑вли и҆ на всѧ́каго ѡ҆стриза́ющаго власы̀ по лицꙋ̀ своемꙋ̀, ѡ҆бита́ющыѧ въ пꙋсты́ни, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы неѡбрѣ́зани пло́тїю, ве́сь же до́мъ і҆и҃левъ неѡбрѣ́зани сꙋ́ть сердцы̀ свои́ми.
26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, the children of Ammon, Moab, and all who have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness, for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.”

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).
… "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, neither let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that glorieth glory in the Lord, in diligently seeking Him, and doing judgment and righteousness" ), being especially mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus which He spake, teaching …
And to show how those from among the Gentiles were foretold as more true and more believing, we will cite what was said by Isaiah the prophet; for he spoke as follows "Israel is uncircumcised in heart, but the Gentiles are uncircumcised in the flesh." So many things therefore, as these, when they are seen with the eye, are enough …
… evil heart, and went backwards, and not forwards." And again, when He declares by the same man, "But let him that glorieth, glory in this, to understand and know that I am the Lord, who doth exercise loving-kindness, and righteousness, and judgment in the earth;" He adds, "For in these things I delight, says the Lord," but not in sacrifices, …
