1 Ἀκούσατε τὸν λόγον Κυρίου τοῦτον, ὃν ἐγὼ λαμβάνω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, θρῆνον. Οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ
·
2 ἔπεσεν, οὐκέτι μὴ προσθήσει τοῦ ἀναστῆναι. Παρθένος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἔσφαλεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἀναστήσων αὐτήν.
·
3 Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἡ πόλις ἐξ ἧς ἐξεπορεύοντο χίλιοι, ὑπολειφθήσονται ἑκατόν· καὶ ἐξ ἧς ἐξεπορεύοντο ἑκατὸν, ὑπολειφθήσονται δέκα τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ.
·
4 Διότι τάδε λέγει Κύριος πρὸς τὸν οἶκον Ἰσραὴλ, ἐκζητήσατέ με, καὶ ζήσεσθε.
·
5 Καὶ μὴ ἐκζητεῖτε Βαιθὴλ, καὶ εἰς Γάλγαλα μὴ εἰσπορεύεσθε, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου μὴ διαβαίνετε, ὅτι Γάλγαλα αἰχμαλωτευομένη αἰχμαλωτευθήσεται, καὶ Βαιθὴλ ἔσται ὡς οὐχ ὑπάρχουσα.
·
6 Ἐκζητήσατε τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ζήσατε, ὅπως μὴ ἀναλάμψῃ ὡς πῦρ ὁ οἶκος Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ καταφάγῃ αὐτὸν, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ σβέσων τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ.
·
7 Ὁ ποιῶν εἰς ὕψος κρίμα, καὶ δικαιοσύνην εἰς γῆν ἔθηκεν·
·
8 ὁ ποιῶν πάντα καὶ μετασκευάζων, καὶ ἐκτρέπων εἰς τοπρωῒ σκιάν, καὶ ἡμέραν εἰς νύκτα συσκοτάζων, ὁ προσκαλούμενος τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ ἐκχέων αὐτὸ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς· Κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ·
·
9 ὁ διαιρῶν συντριμμὸν ἐπὶ ἰσχὺν, καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν ἐπὶ ὀχύρωμα ἐπάγων.
·
10 Ἐμίσησαν ἐν πύλαις ἐλέγχοντα, καὶ λόγον ὅσιον ἐβδελύξαντο.
·
11 Διατοῦτο ἀνθʼ ὧν κατεκονδύλιζον πτωχοὺς, καὶ δῶρα ἐκλεκτὰ ἐδέξασθε παρʼ αὐτῶν, οἴκους ξεστοὺς ᾠκοδομήσατε, καὶ οὐ μὴ κατοικήσητε ἐν αὐτοῖς· ἀμπελῶνας ἐπιθυμητοὺς ἐφυτεύσατε, καὶ οὐ μὴ πίητε τὸν οἶνον αὐτῶν.
·
12 Ὅτι ἔγνων πολλὰς ἀσεβείας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἰσχυραὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ὑμῶν, καταπατοῦντες δίκαιον, λαμβάνοντες ἀλλάγματα, καὶ πένητας ἐν πύλαις ἐκκλίνοντες.
·
13 Διατοῦτο ὁ συνιὼν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ σιωπήσεται, ὅτι καιρὸς πονηρῶν ἐστιν.
·
14 Ἐκζητήσατε τὸ καλὸν, καὶ μὴ πονηρὸν, ὅπως ζήσητε, καὶ ἔσται οὕτως μεθʼ ὑμῶν Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ, ὃν τρόπον εἴπατε,
·
15 μεμισήκαμεν τὰ πονηρὰ, καὶ ἠγαπήσαμεν τὰ καλά· καὶ ἀποκαταστήσατε ἐν πύλαις κρίμα, ὅπως ἐλεήσῃ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ τοὺς περιλοίπους τοῦ Ἰωσήφ.
·
16 Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ, ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πλατείαις κοπετὸς, καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς ῥηθήσεται οὐαὶ, οὐαί· κληθήσεται γεωργὸς εἰς πένθος καὶ κοπετὸν, καὶ εἰς εἰδότας θρῆνον.
·
17 Καὶ ἐν πάσαις ὁδοῖς κοπετὸς, διότι ἐλεύσομαι διὰ μέσου σου, εἶπε Κύριος.
·
18 Οὐαὶ οἱ ἐπιθυμοῦντες τὴν ἡμέραν Κυρίου· ἱνατί αὕτη ὑμῖν ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ Κυρίου; καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶ σκότος καὶ οὐ φῶς.
·
19 Ὃν τρόπον ἐὰν φύγῃ ἄνθρωπος ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ λέοντος, καὶ ἐμπέσῃ αὐτῷ ἡ ἄρκος, καὶ εἰσπηδήσῃ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπερείσηται τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν τοῖχον, καὶ δάκῃ αὐτὸν ὄφις.
·
20 Οὐχὶ σκότος ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ οὐ φῶς, καὶ γνόφος οὐκ ἔχων φέγγος αὕτη;
·
21 Μεμίσηκα, ἀπῶσμαι ἑορτὰς ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὀσφρανθῶ θυσίας ἐν ταῖς πανηγύρεσιν ὑμῶν.
·
22 Διότι ἐὰν ἐνέγκητέ μοι ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ θυσίας ὑμῶν, οὐ προσδέξομαι, καὶ σωτηρίους ἐπιφανείας ὑμῶν οὐκ ἐπιβλέψομαι.
·
23 Μετάστησον ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ἦχον ᾠδῶν σου, καὶ ψαλμὸν ὀργάνων σου οὐκ ἀκούσομαι.
·
24 Καὶ κυλισθήσεται ὡς ὕδωρ κρίμα, καὶ δικαιοσύνη ὡς χειμάῤῥους ἄβατος.
·
25 Μὴ σφάγια καὶ θυσίας προσηνέγκατέ μοι οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ;
·
26 Καὶ ἀνελάβετε τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ Μολὸχ, καὶ τὸ ἄστρον τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν Ῥαιφὰν, τοὺς τύπους αὐτῶν οὓς ἐποιήσατε ἑαυτοῖς.
·
27 Καὶ μετοικιῶ ὑμᾶς ἐπέκεινα Δαμασκοῦ, λέγει Κύριος· ὁ Θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὄνομα αὐτῷ.

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).
But God turned, and gave them up to worship the hosts of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets: O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to Me sacrifices and oblations for forty years in the wilderness?
I will seek Thee, that my soul may live. For my body liveth by my soul, and my soul liveth by Thee.

I am moreover restrained by the Prophet's saying, "Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time, for it is an evil time," a time when some trip up their neighbours' heels, some stamp on a man when he is down, and others clap their hands with joy, but there is not one to feel for the fallen and hold …

The day of the Lord is darkness and not light." A day of darkness for those who are worthy of darkness.
