Notes on this text (1)
- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 Καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου προφήτευσον ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἰπὸν τοῖς ὄρεσι τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου.
1 You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, “You mountains of Israel, hear Yahweh’s word.
2 Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἀνθʼ οὗ εἶπεν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ὁ ἐχθρὸς, εὖγε ἔρημα αἰώνια εἰς κατάσχεσιν ἡμῖν ἐγενήθη·
2 The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because the enemy has said against you, “Aha!” and, “The ancient high places are ours in possession!”’
3 Διατοῦτο προφήτευσον, καὶ εἰπὸν, τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀτιμασθῆναι ὑμᾶς, καὶ μισηθῆναι ὑμᾶς ὑπὸ τῶν κύκλῳ ὑμῶν, τοῦ εἶναι ὑμᾶς εἰς κατάσχεσιν τοῖς καταλοίποις ἔθνεσι, καὶ ἀνέβητε λάλημα γλώσσῃ, καὶ εἰς ὀνείδισμα ἔθνεσι,
3 therefore prophesy, and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;”
4 διατοῦτο ὄρη Ἰσραὴλ ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου· τάδε λέγει Κύριος τοῖς ὄρεσι, καὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς, καὶ τοῖς χειμάῤῥοις, καὶ ταῖς φάραγξι, καὶ τοῖς ἐξηρημωμένοις καὶ ἠφανισμένοις, καὶ ταῖς πόλεσι ταῖς ἐγκαταλελειμμέναις, καὶ ἐγένοντο εἰς προνομὴν, καὶ εἰς καταπάτημα τοῖς καταλειφθεῖσιν ἔθνεσι περικύκλῳ.
4 therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: The Lord Yahweh says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;
5 Διατοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, εἰ μὴν ἐν πυρὶ θυμοῦ μου ἐλάλησα ἐπὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν πᾶσαν, ὅτι ἔδωκαν τὴν γῆν μου ἑαυτοῖς εἰς κατάσχεσιν μετʼ εὐφροσύνης, ἀτιμάσαντες ψυχὰς, τοῦ ἀφανίσαι ἐν προνομῇ·
5 therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.”’
6 Διατοῦτο προφήτευσον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἰπὸν τοῖς ὄρεσι, καὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς, καὶ ταῖς φάραγξι, καὶ ταῖς νάπαις, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐν τῷ ζήλῳ μου, καὶ ἐν τῷ θυμῷ μου ἐλάλησα, ἀντὶ τοῦ ὀνειδισμοὺς ἐθνῶν ἐνέγκαι ὑμᾶς.
6 Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and tell the mountains, the hills, the watercourses and the valleys, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations.”
7 Διατοῦτο ἐγὼ ἀρῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη τὰ περικύκλῳ ὑμῶν, οὗτοι τὴν ἀτιμίαν αὐτῶν λήψονται.
7 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “I have sworn, ‘Surely the nations that are around you will bear their shame.’
8 Ὑμῶν δὲ ὄρη Ἰσραὴλ τὴν σταφυλὴν καὶ τὸν καρπὸν ὑμῶν καταφάγεται ὁ λαός μου, ὅτι ἐλπίζουσι τοῦ ἐλθεῖν·
8 “‘“But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot out your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.
9 Ὅτι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἐπιβλέψω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, καὶ κατεργασθήσεσθε, καὶ σπαρήσεσθε,
9 For, behold, I am for you, and I will come to you, and you will be tilled and sown.
10 καὶ πληθυνῶ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἀνθρώπους, πᾶν οἶκον Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τέλος, καὶ κατοικηθήσονται αἱ πόλεις, καὶ ἡ ἠρημωμένη οἰκοδομηθήσεται.
10 I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it. The cities will be inhabited and the waste places will be built.
11 Καὶ πληθυνῶ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἀνθρώπους, καὶ κτήνη, καὶ κατοικιῶ ὑμᾶς ὡς τὸ ἐν ἀρχῇ ὑμῶν, καὶ εὖ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς, ὥσπερ τὰ ἔμπροσθεν ὑμῶν, καὶ γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.
11 I will multiply man and animal on you. They will increase and be fruitful. I will cause you to be inhabited as you were before, and you will do better than at your beginnings. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.
12 Καὶ γεννήσω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἀνθρώπους τὸν λαόν μου Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ κληρονομήσουσιν ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἔσεσθε αὐτοῖς εἰς κατάσχεσιν· καὶ οὐ μὴ προστεθῆτε ἔτι ἀτεκνωθῆναι ἀπʼ αὐτῶν.
12 Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will never again bereave them of their children.”
13 Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, ἀνθʼ ὧν εἶπάν σοι, κατέσθουσα ἀνθρώπους εἶ, καὶ ἠτεκνωμένη ὑπὸ τοῦ ἔθνους σου ἐγένου·
13 “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because they say to you, ‘You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation;’
14 Διατοῦτο ἀνθρώπους οὐκέτι φάγεσαι, καὶ τὸ ἔθνος σου οὐκ ἀτεκνώσεις ἔτι, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.
14 therefore you shall devour men no more, and not bereave your nation any more,” says the Lord Yahweh.
15 Καὶ οὐκ ἀκουσθήσεται οὐκέτι ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἀτιμία ἐθνῶν, καὶ ὀνειδισμοὺς λαῶν οὐ μὴ ἀνενέγκητε ἔτι, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος.
15 “I won’t let you hear the shame of the nations any more. You won’t bear the reproach of the peoples any more, and you won’t cause your nation to stumble any more,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”
16 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων,
16 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
17 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ κατῴκησεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐμίαναν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἀκαθαρσίαις αὐτῶν, καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἀκαθαρσίαν τῆς ἀποκαθημένης ἐγενήθη ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν πρὸ προσώπου μου.
17 “Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and by their deeds. Their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
18 Καὶ ἐξέχεα τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς,
18 Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.
19 καὶ διέσπειρα αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ἐλίκμησα αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χώρας, κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν αὐτῶν ἔκρινα αὐτούς.
19 I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. I judged them according to their way and according to their deeds.
20 Καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, οὗ εἰσῆλθον ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐβεβήλωσαν τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ ἅγιον ἐν τῷ λέγεσθαι αὐτοὺς, λαὸς Κυρίου οὗτοι, καὶ ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ ἐξεληλύθασι.
20 When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned my holy name, in that men said of them, ‘These are Yahweh’s people, and have left his land.’
21 Καὶ ἐπεισάμην αὐτῶν διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ ἅγιον, ὃ ἐβεβήλωσαν οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, οὗ εἰσήλθοσαν ἐκεῖ.
21 But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went.
22 Διατοῦτο εἰπὸν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οὐχ ὑμῖν ἐγὼ ποιῶ οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ, ἀλλʼ ἢ διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ ἅγιον, ὃ ἐβεβηλώσατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, οὗ εἰσήλθετε ἐκεῖ.
22 “Therefore tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “I don’t do this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went.
23 Καὶ ἁγιάσω τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ μέγα τὸ βεβηλωθὲν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, ὃ ἐβεβηλώσατε ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν, καὶ γνώσονται τὰ ἔθνη ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος, ἐν τῷ ἁγιασθῆναί με ἐν ὑμῖν κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν.
23 I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh,” says the Lord Yahweh, “when I am proven holy in you before their eyes.
24 Καὶ λήψομαι ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ ἀθροίσω ὑμᾶς ἐκ πασῶν τῶν γαιῶν, καὶ εἰσάξω ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν γῆν ὑμῶν,
24 “‘“For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25 καὶ ῥανῶ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς καθαρὸν ὕδωρ, καὶ καθαρισθήσεσθε ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀκαθαρσιῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν εἰδώλων ὑμῶν, καὶ καθαριῶ ὑμᾶς·
25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.
26 Καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν καρδίαν καινὴν, καὶ πνεῦμα καινὸν δώσω ἐν ὑμῖν, καὶ ἀφελῶ τὴν καρδίαν τὴν λιθίνην ἐκ τῆς σαρκὸς ὑμῶν, καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν καρδίαν σαρκίνην·
26 I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
27 Καὶ τὸ πνεῦμά μου δώσω ἐν ὑμῖν, καὶ ποιήσω ἵνα ἐν τοῖς δικαιώμασί μου πορεύησθε, καὶ τὰ κρίματά μου φυλάξησθε, καὶ ποιήσητε·
27 I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them.
28 Καὶ κατοικήσετε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἧς ἔδωκα τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔσεσθέ μοι εἰς λαὸν, καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι ὑμῖν εἰς Θεόν.
28 You will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
29 Καὶ σώσω ὑμᾶς ἐκ πασῶν τῶν ἀκαθαρσιῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ καλέσω τὸν σῖτον, καὶ πληθυνῶ αὐτὸν, καὶ οὐ δώσω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς λιμόν.
29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.
30 Καὶ πληθυνῶ τὸν καρπὸν τοῦ ξύλου, καὶ τὰ γεννήματα τοῦ ἀγροῦ, ὅπως ἂν μὴ λάβητε ὀνειδισμὸν λιμοῦ ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι.
30 I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.
31 Καὶ μνησθήσεσθε τὰς ὁδοὺς ὑμῶν τὰς πονηρὰς, καὶ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα ὑμῶν τὰ μὴ ἀγαθὰ, καὶ προσοχθιεῖτε κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν ἐν ταῖς ἀνομίαις ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς βδελύγμασιν αὐτῶν.
31 “‘“Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32 Οὐ διʼ ὑμᾶς ἐγὼ ποιῶ, λέγει Κύριος Κύριος, γνωστόν ἐστιν ὑμῖν· αἰσχύνθητε καὶ ἐντράπητε ἐκ τῶν ὁδῶν ὑμῶν οἶκος Ἰσραήλ.
32 I don’t do this for your sake,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, house of Israel.”
33 Τάδε λέγει ἀδωναῒ Κύριος, ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ καθαριῶ ὑμᾶς ἐκ πασῶν ἀνομιῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ κατοικιῶ τὰς πόλεις, καὶ οἰκοδομηθήσονται ἔρημοι,
33 “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited and the waste places will be built.
34 καὶ ἡ γῆ ἠφανισμένη ἐργασθήσεται ἀνθʼ ὧν ὅτι ἠφανισμένη ἐγενήθη κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς παντὸς παροδεύοντος.
34 The land that was desolate will be tilled instead of being a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.
35 Καὶ ἐροῦσιν, ἡ γῆ ἐκείνη ἠφανισμένη ἐγενήθη ὡς κῆπος τρυφῆς, καὶ αἱ πόλεις αἱ ἔρημοι καὶ ἠφανισμέναι καὶ κατεσκαμμέναι ὀχυραὶ ἐκάθισαν.
35 They will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. The waste, desolate, and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.’
36 Καὶ γνώσονται τὰ ἔθνη, ὅσα ἂν καταλειφθῶσιν κύκλῳ ὑμῶν, ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος ᾠκοδόμησα τὰς καθῃρημένας, καὶ κατεφύτευσα τὰς ἠφανισμένας· ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐλάλησα, καὶ ποιήσω.
36 Then the nations that are left around you will know that I, Yahweh, have built the ruined places and planted that which was desolate. I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and I will do it.”
37 Τάδε λέγει ἀδωναῒ Κύριος, ἔτι τοῦτο ζητηθήσομαι τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτούς· πληθυνῶ αὐτοὺς ὡς πρόβατα ἀνθρώπους,
37 “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “For this, moreover, I will be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.
38 ὡς πρόβατα ἅγια, ὡς πρόβατα Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς αὐτῆς· οὕτως ἔσονται αἱ πόλεις αἱ ἔρημοι πλήρεις προβάτων ἀνθρώπων· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
38 As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so the waste cities will be filled with flocks of men. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.’”

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).
And those of them who declare that God would make a new covenant with men, not such as that which He made with the fathers at Mount Horeb, and would give to men a new heart and a new spirit; and again, "And remember ye not the things of old: behold, I make new things which shall now arise, and …
… for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it: and I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way, and according to their doings, I judged them." Now it is easy to understand that this applies to that house of Israel of …

For this cause, though thou shouldest work but the eleventh hour of the day, He gives thy wages entire; and though thou afford no ground of salvation, He saith, "I do it for mine own sake, that my name be not profaned:" though thou shouldest sigh only, though thou shouldest only weep, all these things He quickly catches hold of, …

But when the prophet begins to say, "And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord," the reader ought now carefully to observe the way in which the species is overstepped and the genus taken in.
