1 А҆́лефъ. Ка́кѡ потемнѣ̀ зла́то, и҆змѣни́сѧ сребро̀ до́брое! разсы́пашасѧ камы́цы ст҃ы́ни въ нача́лѣ всѣ́хъ и҆схо́дѡвъ. 2 Бе́ѳъ. Сы́нове сїѡ̑ни честні́и, ѡ҆дѣ́ѧнїи зла́томъ чи́стымъ, ка́кѡ вмѣни́шасѧ въ сосꙋ́ды гли̑нѧны, дѣла̀ рꙋ́къ скꙋде́льничихъ! 3 Гі́мель. Є҆ще́ же ѕмі́еве ѡ҆бнажи́ша сосцы̀, воздои́ша скѵ́мни и҆́хъ дще́рей люді́й мои́хъ въ неисцѣле́нїе, ꙗ҆́коже пти́ца во пꙋсты́ни. 4 Да́леѳъ. Прильпѐ ѧ҆зы́къ ссꙋ́щагѡ къ горта́ни є҆гѡ̀ въ жа́жди, младе́нцы проси́ша хлѣ́ба, и҆ нѣ́сть и҆̀мъ разломлѧ́ющагѡ. 5 Гѐ. Ꙗ҆дꙋ́ще сла́дѡстнаѧ погибо́ша во и҆схо́дѣхъ, пита́емїи на багрѧни́цахъ ѡ҆дѣ́ѧшасѧ въ гно́й. 6 Ва́ѵъ. И҆ возвели́чисѧ беззако́нїе дще́ре люді́й мои́хъ па́че беззако́нїѧ содо́мска, превраще́нныѧ во ѻ҆комгнове́нїи, и҆ не поболѣ́ша ѡ҆ не́й рꙋка́ми. 7 За́їнъ. Ѡ҆чи́стишасѧ назѡре́є є҆ѧ̀ па́че снѣ́га и҆ просвѣти́шасѧ па́че млека̀, че́рмни бы́ша, па́че ка́мене сапфі́ра ᲂу҆сѣче́нїе и҆́хъ. 8 И҆́ѳъ. Потемнѣ̀ па́че са́жи ви́дъ и҆́хъ, не позна́ни бы́ша во и҆схо́дѣхъ: прильпѐ ко́жа и҆́хъ косте́мъ и҆́хъ, и҆зсхо́ша, бы́ша ꙗ҆́кѡ дре́во. 9 Те́ѳъ. Лꙋ́чше бы́ша ꙗ҆́звенїи мече́мъ, не́жели погꙋбле́ни гла́домъ: сі́и бо и҆стлѣ́ша ѿ непло́дности землѝ. 10 І҆ѡ́дъ. Рꙋ́цѣ же́нъ милосе́рдыхъ свари́ша дѣ́ти своѧ̑, бы́ша въ ꙗ҆́дь и҆̀мъ, въ сокрꙋше́нїи дще́ре люді́й мои́хъ. 11 Ка́фъ. Сконча̀ гдⷭ҇ь ꙗ҆́рость свою̀, и҆злїѧ̀ ꙗ҆́рость гнѣ́ва своегѡ̀ и҆ возжжѐ ѻ҆́гнь въ сїѡ́нѣ, и҆ поѧдѐ ѡ҆снова̑нїѧ є҆гѡ̀. 12 Ла́медъ. Не вѣ́роваша ца́рїе зе́мстїи и҆ всѝ живꙋ́щїи во вселе́ннѣй, ꙗ҆́кѡ вни́детъ вра́гъ и҆ стꙋжа́ѧй сквозѣ̀ врата̀ і҆ерⷭ҇ли̑мскаѧ, 13 Ме́мъ. ра́ди грѣ̑хъ проро́кѡвъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ непра́вдъ жерцє́въ є҆гѡ̀, пролива́ющихъ кро́вь пра́веднꙋ посредѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀. 14 Нꙋ́нъ. Поколеба́шасѧ бо́дрїи є҆гѡ̀ на сто́гнахъ, ѡ҆скверни́шасѧ въ кро́ви, внегда̀ немощѝ и҆̀мъ, прикоснꙋ́шасѧ ѻ҆де́ждъ свои́хъ. 15 Са́мехъ. Ѿстꙋпи́те ѿ нечи́стыхъ, призови́те и҆̀хъ: ѿстꙋпи́те, ѿстꙋпи́те, не прикаса́йтесѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ возжго́шасѧ и҆ восколеба́шасѧ: рцы́те во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ: не приложа́тъ, є҆́же ѡ҆бита́ти (съ ни́ми). 16 А҆́їнъ. Лицѐ гдⷭ҇не ча́сть и҆́хъ, не приложи́тъ призрѣ́ти на ни́хъ: лица̀ жре́ческа не ᲂу҆стыдѣ́шасѧ, ста́рыхъ не поми́ловаша. 17 Фѝ. Є҆щѐ сꙋ́щымъ на́мъ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ша ѻ҆́чи на́ши, на по́мощь на́шꙋ всꙋ́е смотрѧ́щымъ на́мъ, внегда̀ надѣ́ѧхомсѧ на ꙗ҆зы́къ не спаса́ющь. 18 Ца́ди. Оу҆лови́ша ма́лыхъ на́шихъ є҆́же не ходи́ти на сто́гнахъ на́шихъ, прибли́жисѧ вре́мѧ на́ше, и҆спо́лнишасѧ дні́е на́ши, настои́тъ коне́цъ на́шъ. 19 Кѡ́фъ. Скорѣ́йшїи бы́ша гонѧ́щїи ны̀ па́че ѻ҆рлѡ́въ небе́сныхъ, на гора́хъ гонѧ́хꙋ на́съ, въ пꙋсты́ни присѣдо́ша на́мъ. 20 Ре́шъ. Дꙋ́хъ лица̀ на́шегѡ, пома́занный гдⷭ҇ь ꙗ҆́тъ бы́сть въ растлѣ́нїихъ и҆́хъ, ѡ҆ не́мже рѣ́хомъ: въ сѣ́ни є҆гѡ̀ поживе́мъ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ. 21 Ши́нъ. Ра́дꙋйсѧ и҆ весели́сѧ, дщѝ і҆дꙋме́йска, живꙋ́щаѧ на землѝ, и҆ на тебѐ прїи́детъ ча́ша гдⷭ҇нѧ, и҆ ᲂу҆пїе́шисѧ и҆ и҆злїе́ши. 22 Ѳа́ѵъ. Сконча́сѧ беззако́нїе твоѐ, дщѝ сїѡ́нѧ, не приложи́тъ ктомꙋ̀ пресели́ти тѧ̀: посѣти́лъ є҆́сть беззакѡ́нїѧ твоѧ̑, дщѝ є҆дѡ́млѧ, ѿкры̀ нечє́стїѧ твоѧ̑.

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).

  1. Quotes verse 4:20 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter X)

    … salvation, thus: "God hath made known His salvation (salutare) in the sight of the heathen." For He is indeed Saviour, as being the Son and Word of God; but salutary, since [He is] Spirit; for he says: "The Spirit of our countenance, Christ the Lord." But salvation, as being flesh: for "the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." …

  4. Quotes verse 4:20 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapter XIX)

    He is called Spirit, as "God is a Spirit," and "the breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord." He is called holy, as the Father is holy, and the Son is holy, for to the creature holiness was brought in from without, but to the Spirit holiness is the fulfilment of nature, and it is for this reason …
