1 Pravedan si, Gospode, ako bih se pravdao s Tobom; ali ću progovoriti o sudovima Tvojim. Zašto je put bezbožnički srećan? Zašto žive u miru svi koji čine neveru? 2 Ti ih posadi, i oni se ukoreniše, rastu i rod rađaju; Ti si im blizu usta ali daleko od bubrega. 3 Ali Gospode, Ti me poznaješ, razgledaš me i okušao si srce moje kako je prema Tebi; odvuci ih kao ovce na klanje, i pripravi ih za dan kad će se ubiti. 4 Dokle će tužiti zemlja, i trava svega polja sahnuti sa zloće onih koji žive u njoj? Nesta sve stoke i ptica, jer govore: Ne vidi kraja našeg. 5 Kad si trčao s pešacima pa te umoriše, kako ćeš se utrkivati s konjima? I kad ti je tako u zemlji mirnoj, u koju se uzdaš, šta ćeš činiti kad ustane Jordan? 6 Jer i braća tvoja i dom oca tvog, i oni te izneveriše i oni viču za tobom glasno. Ne veruj im, ako bi ti i prijateljski govorili. 7 Ostavih dom svoj, napustih nasledstvo svoje; što beše milo duši mojoj, dadoh ga u ruke neprijateljima njegovim. 8 Nasledstvo moje posta mi kao lav u šumi, pušta glas svoj na mene, zato mi omrznu. 9 Nasledstvo moje posta mi ptica grabljiva; ptice, sletite se na nju, skupite se svi zverovi poljski, hodite da jedete. 10 Pastiri mnogi pokvariće moj vinograd, potlačiće deo moj, mili deo moj obratiće u golu pustoš. 11 Obratiće ga u pustoš, opustošen plakaće preda mnom; sva će ta zemlja opusteti, jer niko ne uzima na um. 12 Na sva visoka mesta po pustinji doći će zatirači; jer će mač Gospodnji proždirati od jednog kraja zemlje do drugog, neće biti mira ni jednom telu. 13 Sejaće pšenicu, a trnje će žeti; mučiće se, a koristi neće imati, i stideće se letine svoje, sa žestokog gneva Gospodnjeg. 14 Ovako govori Gospod za sve zle susede moje, koji diraju nasledstvo što dadoh narodu svom Izrailju: evo, ja ću ih počupati iz zemlje njihove, i dom Judin iščupaću isred njih. 15 A kad ih iščupam, opet ću se smilovati na njih, i dovešću opet svakog njih na nasledstvo njegovo i svakog u zemlju njegovu. 16 I ako dobro nauče puteve naroda mog, da se zaklinju mojim imenom: Tako da je živ Gospod! Kao što su oni učili moj narod da se kune Valom, tada će se sazidati usred naroda mog. 17 Ako li ne poslušaju, tada ću iščupati sasvim takav narod i zatrti, govori Gospod.

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).
Respecting such it is said in another place by the prophet, "They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns;" because they teach what is good, and do what is evil.

and the Lord Himself says in the Prophets, Mine heritage became unto Me as a lion in the forest; it gave its voice against Me; therefore have I hated it.
