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 ΤΟ ῥῆμα τοῦ Θεοῦ ὃ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ Ἱερεμίαν τὸν του Χελκίου, ἐκ τῶν ἱερέων, ὃς κατῴκει ἐν Ἀναθὼθ ἐν γῇ Βενιαμὶν,
1 LAS palabras de Jeremías hijo de Hilcías, de los sacerdotes que estuvieron en Anathoth, en tierra de Benjamín.
2 ὡς ἐγενήθη λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ πρὸς αὐτὸν, ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἰωσία υἱοῦ Ἀμὼς βασιλέως Ἰούδα, ἔτους τρισκαιδεκάτου ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ.
2 La palabra de Jehová que fué á él en los días de Josías hijo de Amón, rey de Judá, en el año décimotercio de su reinado.
3 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἰωακεὶμ υἱοῦ Ἰωσία βασιλέως Ἰούδα, ἕως ἑνδεκάτου ἔτους τοῦ Σεδεκία υἱοῦ Ἰωσία βασιλέως Ἰούδα, ἕως τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῷ πέμπτῳ μηνί.
3 Fué asimismo en días de Joacim hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, hasta el fin del año undécimo de Sedechîas hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, hasta la cautividad de Jerusalem en el mes quinto.
4 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς αὐτόν·
4 Fué pues palabra de Jehová á mí, diciendo:
5 Πρὸ τοῦ με πλάσαι σε ἐν κοιλίᾳ, ἐπίσταμαί σε, καὶ πρὸ τοῦ σε ἐξελθεῖν ἐκ μήτρας, ἡγίακά σε, προφήτην εἰς ἔθνη τέθεικά σε.
5 Antes que te formase en el vientre te conocí, y antes que salieses de la matriz te santifiqué, te dí por profeta á las gentes.
6 Καὶ εἶπα, ὁ ὢν δέσποτα, Κύριε, ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἐπίσταμαι λαλεῖν, ὅτι νεώτερος ἐγώ εἰμι.
6 Y yo dije: ¡Ah! ¡ah! ¡Señor Jehová! He aquí, no sé hablar, porque soy niño.
7 Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, μὴ λέγε, ὅτι νεώτερος ἐγώ εἰμι, ὅτι πρὸς πάντας οὓς ἐὰν ἐξαποστείλω σε, πορεύσῃ, καὶ κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐὰν ἐντείλωμαί σοι, λαλήσεις.
7 Y díjome Jehová: No digas, soy niño; porque á todo lo que te enviaré irás tú, y dirás todo lo que te mandaré.
8 Μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, ὅτι μετὰ σοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι τοῦ ἐξαιρεῖσθαί σε, λέγει Κύριος.
8 No temas delante de ellos, porque contigo soy para librarte, dice Jehová.
9 Καὶ ἐξέτεινε Κύριος τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ πρὸς μὲ, καὶ ἥψατο τοῦ στόματός μου, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, ἰδοὺ δέδωκα τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὸ στόμα σου.
9 Y extendió Jehová su mano, y tocó sobre mi boca; y díjome Jehová: He aquí he puesto mis palabras en tu boca.
10 Ἰδοὺ καθέστακά σε σήμερον ἐπὶ ἔθνη καὶ ἐπὶ βασιλείας, ἐκριζοῦν, καὶ κατασκάπτειν, καὶ ἀπολύειν, καὶ ἀνοικοδομεῖν, καὶ καταφυτεύειν.
10 Mira que te he puesto en este día sobre gentes y sobre reinos, para arrancar y para destruir, y para arruinar y para derribar, y para edificar y para plantar.
11 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων, τί σὺ ὁρᾷς; καὶ εἶπα, βακτηρίαν καρυΐνην.
11 Y la palabra de Jehová fué á mí, diciendo: ¿Qué ves tú, Jeremías? Y dije: Yo veo una vara de almendro.
12 Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, καλῶς ἑώρακας, διότι ἐγρήγορα ἐγὼ ἐπὶ τοὺς λόγους μου τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτούς.
12 Y díjome Jehová: Bien has visto; porque yo apresuro mi palabra para ponerla por obra.
13 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου ἐκ δευτέρου πρὸς μὲ, λέγων, τί σὺ ὁρᾷς; καὶ εἶπα, λέβητα ὑποκαιόμενον, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ προσώπου Βοῤῥᾶ.
13 Y fué á mí palabra de Jehová segunda vez, diciendo: ¿Qué ves tú? Y dije: Yo veo una olla que hierve; y su haz está de la parte del aquilón.
14 Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς μὲ, ἀπὸ προσώπου Βοῤῥᾶ ἐκκαυθήσεται τὰ κακὰ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν.
14 Y díjome Jehová: Del aquilón se soltará el mal sobre todos los moradores de la tierra.
15 Διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ συγκαλῶ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ, λέγει Κύριος· καὶ ἥξουσι καὶ θήσουσιν ἕκαστος τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῶν πυλῶν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ τείχη τὰ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα.
15 Porque he aquí que yo convoco todas las familias de los reinos del aquilón, dice Jehová; y vendrán, y pondrá cada uno su asiento á la entrada de las puertas de Jerusalem, y junto á todos sus muros en derredor, y en todas las ciudades de Judá.
16 Καὶ λαλήσω πρὸς αὐτοὺς μετὰ κρίσεως, περὶ πάσης τῆς κακίας αὐτῶν, ὡς ἐγκατέλιπόν με, καὶ ἔθυσαν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, καὶ προσεκύνησαν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν.
16 Y á causa de toda su malicia, proferiré mis juicios contra los que me dejaron, é incensaron á dioses extraños, y á hechuras de sus manos se encorvaron.
17 Καὶ σὺ περίζωσαι τὴν ὀσφύν σου, καὶ ἀνάστηθι, καὶ εἰπὸ πάντα ὅσα ἄν ἐντείλωμαί σοι· μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, μηδὲ πτοηθῇς ἐναντίον αὐτῶν, ὅτι μετὰ σοῦ εἰμι, τοῦ ἐξαιρεῖσθαί σε, λέγει Κύριος.
17 Tú pues, ciñe tus lomos, y te levantarás, y les hablarás todo lo que te mandaré: no temas delante de ellos, porque no te haga yo quebrantar delante de ellos.
18 Ἰδοὺ τέθεικά σε ἐν τῇ σήμερον ἡμέρᾳ ὡς πόλιν ὀχυρὰν καὶ ὡς τεῖχος χαλκοῦν, ὀχυρὸν πᾶσι τοῖς βασιλεύσιν Ἰούδα, καὶ τοῖς ἄρχουσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς.
18 Porque he aquí que yo te he puesto en este día como ciudad fortalecida, y como columna de hierro, y como muro de bronce sobre toda la tierra, á los reyes de Judá, á sus príncipes, á sus sacerdotes, y al pueblo de la tierra.
19 Καὶ πολεμήσουσί σε, καὶ οὐ μὴ δύνωνται πρὸς σὲ διότι μετὰ σοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι, τοῦ ἐξαιρεῖσθαί σε, εἶπε Κύριος.
19 Y pelearán contra ti, mas no te vencerán; porque yo soy contigo, dice Jehová, para librarte.

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).
Now, that the Word of God forms us in the womb, He says to Jeremiah, "Before I formed thee in the womb, I knew thee; and before thou wentest forth from the belly, I sanctified thee, and appointed thee a prophet among the nations." And Paul, too, says in like manner, "But when it pleased God, who separated me from …
… hath pleased Him, and to every seed his own body." We ought not even to call a woman the creatress of her own offspring; for He rather is its creator who said to His servant, "Before I formed thee in the womb, I knew thee." And although the various mental emotions of a pregnant woman do produce in the fruit …

Jeremiah was sanctified, but did not prophesy, in the womb: John alone while carried in the womb leaped for joy, and though he saw not with the eyes of flesh, knew his Master by the Spirit: for since the grace of Baptism was great, it required greatness in its founder also.

But in the saying addressed to Jeremiah, "See, I have this day set thee over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down," there is no doubt the whole of the language is figurative, and to be referred to the end I have spoken of.

The Lord saith unto Jeremiah: Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee: and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee.
