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 Бы́ша помышлѧ́юще трꙋды̀ и҆ дѣ́лающе ѕла̑ѧ на ло́жахъ свои́хъ, и҆ кꙋ́пнѡ со дне́мъ соверша́хꙋ та̑ѧ, поне́же не воздвиго́ша къ бг҃ꙋ рꙋ́къ свои́хъ:
1 Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 и҆ жела́хꙋ се́лъ, и҆ гра́блѧхꙋ сиро́тъ, и҆ до́мы ѿима́хꙋ, и҆ расхища́хꙋ мꙋ́жа и҆ до́мъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ мꙋ́жа и҆ наслѣ́дїе є҆гѡ̀.
2 They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: сѐ, а҆́зъ помышлѧ́ю на пле́мѧ сїѐ ѕла̑ѧ, ѿ ни́хже не подви́гнете вы́й ва́шихъ и҆ не по́йдете про́сти внеза́пꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вре́мѧ ѕло̀ є҆́сть.
3 Therefore Yahweh says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
4 Въ то́й де́нь прїи́метсѧ на вы̀ при́тча, и҆ воспла́четсѧ пла́чь съ пѣ́снїю, глаго́лющь: бѣ́дство пострада́хомъ: ча́сть люді́й мои́хъ и҆змѣ́рисѧ ᲂу҆́жемъ, и҆ не бѣ̀ возбранѧ́ѧй є҆го̀, є҆́же ѿврати́тисѧ: се́ла ва̑ша раздѣлє́на бы́ша.
4 In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
5 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди не бꙋ́детъ тебѣ̀ вме́щꙋщь ᲂу҆́жа въ жре́бїи въ со́нмѣ гдⷭ҇ни.
5 Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in Yahweh’s assembly.
6 Не пла́читесѧ слеза́ми, нижѐ да слезѧ́тъ ѡ҆ си́хъ: не ѿве́ржетъ бо ᲂу҆кѡри́зны
6 “Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
7 гл҃ѧй: до́мъ і҆а́кѡвль разгнѣ́ва дх҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень: не сїѧ̑ ли сꙋ́ть начина̑нїѧ є҆гѡ̀; не словеса́ ли є҆гѡ̀ сꙋ́ть дѡбра̀ съ ни́мъ, и҆ пра́вїи ходи́ша;
7 Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
8 И҆ пре́жде лю́дїе моѝ во враждꙋ̀ сопроти́вишасѧ, проти́вꙋ ми́рꙋ своемꙋ̀: ко́жꙋ є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆дра́ша, є҆́же ѿѧ́ти ᲂу҆пова́нїе, сокрꙋше́нїе ра́тное:
8 But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
9 сегѡ̀ ра́ди старѣ̑йшины люді́й мои́хъ и҆зве́ргꙋтсѧ и҆з̾ домѡ́въ сла́дости своеѧ̀, ѕлы́хъ ра́ди начина́нїй свои́хъ ѿринове́ни бы́ша. Прибли́житесѧ гора́мъ вѣ̑чнымъ:
9 You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
10 воста́ни и҆ пойдѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть тебѣ̀ се́й поко́й: нечистоты̀ ра́ди, и҆стлѣ́сте тлѣ́нїемъ,
10 Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
11 прогна́стесѧ ники́мже гони́ми: дꙋ́хъ поста́ви лжꙋ̀, и҆ска́па тебѣ̀ въ вїно̀ и҆ пїѧ́нство: и҆ бꙋ́детъ, ѿ ка́пли люді́й си́хъ,
11 If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this people.
12 собира́емь собере́тсѧ і҆а́кѡвъ со всѣ́ми: прїе́млѧй прїимꙋ̀ ѡ҆ста́вшихъ і҆и҃левыхъ, вкꙋ́пѣ положꙋ̀ возвраще́нїе є҆гѡ̀, а҆́ки ѻ҆́вцы въ ско́рби, ꙗ҆́кѡ па́ствꙋ посредѣ̀ ло́жа и҆́хъ: и҆зско́чатъ ѿ человѣ̑къ.
12 I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
13 Взы́ди просѣче́нїемъ пред̾ лице́мъ и҆́хъ: просѣко́ша, и҆ проидо́ша врата̀, и҆ и҆зыдо́ша и҆́ми. И҆ и҆зы́де ца́рь и҆́хъ пред̾ лице́мъ и҆́хъ, гдⷭ҇ь же во́ждь и҆́хъ бꙋ́детъ.
13 He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.

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).
… the people for their rebellion and disobedience; "you do always," he says, "resist the Holy Ghost;" and again Isaiah,--"They vexed His Holy Spirit, therefore He was turned to be their enemy;" and in another passage, "the house of Jacob angered the Spirit of the Lord." Are not these passages indicative of authoritative power?
