1 Καὶ ἐγενήθη, ὡς ἐπαύσατο Ἱερεμίας λέγων πρὸς τὸν λαὸν πάντας τοὺς λόγους Κυρίου, οὓς ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν Κύριος πρὸς αὐτοὺς, πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, 2 καὶ εἶπεν Ἀζαρίας υἱὸς Μαασαίου, καὶ Ἰωάναν υἱὸς Κάρηε, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες, οἱ εἰπόντες τῷ Ἱερεμίᾳ, λέγοντες, ψεύδη, οὐκ ἀπέστειλέ σε Κύριος πρὸς ἡμᾶς, λέγων, μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς Αἴγυπτον οἰκεῖν ἐκεῖ, 3 ἀλλʼ ἢ Βαροὺχ υἱὸς Νηρίου συμβάλλει σε πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ἵνα δῷς ἡμᾶς εἰς χεῖρας τῶν Χαλδαίων, τοῦ θανατῶσαι ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἀποικισθῆναι ἡμᾶς εἰς Βαβυλῶνα. 4 Καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν Ἰωάναν, καὶ πάντες ἡγεμόνες τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου, κατοικῆσαι ἐν γῇ Ἰούδα. 5 Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰωάναν, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἡγεμόνες τῆς δυνάμεως πάντας τοὺς καταλοίπους Ἰούδα, τοὺς ἀποστρέψαντας κατοικεῖν ἐν τῇ γῃ, 6 τοὺς δυνατοὺς ἄνδρας, καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας, καὶ τὰ νήπια τὰ λοιπὰ, καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τὰς ψυχὰς ἃς κατέλιπε Ναβουζαρδὰν μετὰ Γοδολίου υἱοῦ Ἀχεικὰμ, καὶ Ἱερεμίαν τὸν προφήτην, καὶ Βαροὺχ, υἱὸν Νηρίου, 7 καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον, ὅτι οὐκ ἤκουσαν τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου, καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Τάφνας. 8 Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν ἐν Τάφνας, λέγων, 9 λάβε σεαυτῷ λίθους μεγάλους, καὶ κατάκρυψον αὐτοὺς ἐν προθύροις, ἐν πύλῃ τῆς οἰκίας Φαραὼ ἐν Τάφνας, κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀνδρῶν Ἰούδα, 10 καὶ ἐρεῖς, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω, καὶ ἄξω Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ θήσει αὐτοῦ τὸν θρόνον ἐπάνω τῶν λίθων τούτων ὧν κατέκρυψας, καὶ ἀρεῖ τᾶ ὅπλα ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, 11 καὶ εἰσελεύσεται, καὶ πατάξει γῆν Αἰγύπτου, οὓς εἰς θάνατον εἰς θάνατον, καὶ οὓς εἰς ἀποικισμὸν εἰς ἀποικισμὸν, καὶ οὓς εἰς ῥομφαίαν εἰς ῥομφαίαν. 12 Καὶ καύσει πῦρ ἐν οἰκίαις τῶν θεῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐμπυριεῖ αὐτὰς, καὶ ἀποικιεῖ αὐτοὺς, καὶ φθειριεῖ γῆν Αἰγύπτου, ὥσπερ φθειρίζει ποιμὴν τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἐν εἰρήνῃ, 13 καὶ συντρίψει τοὺς στύλους Ἡλιουπόλεως τοὺς ἐν Ὢν, καὶ τὰς οἰκίας αὐτῶν κατακαύσει ἐν πυρί.

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).
I am to speak against persons who pride themselves on their eloquence; so, to begin with a text of Scripture, "Behold, I am against thee, O thou proud one," not only in thy system of teaching, but also in thy hearing, and in thy tone of mind.
