1 Potom dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći: 2 Nemoj se ženiti, i da nemaš sinove ni kćeri na tom mestu. 3 Jer ovako govori Gospod za sinove i kćeri što se rode na tom mestu i za matere njihove koje ih rode, i za oce njihove koji ih rode u toj zemlji: 4 Ljutom će smrću pomreti, neće biti oplakani niti će se pogrepsti, biće gnoj po zemlji, i od mača i od gladi izginuće, i mrtva će telesa njihova biti hrana pticama nebeskim i zverima zemaljskim. 5 Jer ovako govori Gospod: Ne ulazi u kuću u kojoj je žalost, i ne idi da plačeš niti ih žali; jer sam uzeo mir svoj od tog naroda, govori Gospod, milost i žaljenje. 6 Pomreće mali i veliki u ovoj zemlji, neće biti pogrebeni niti će se oplakati, niti će se ko rezati ni glave strići za njima. 7 Neće im se dati hleba u žalosti da se poteše za mrtvim, niti će ih napojiti iz čaše radi utehe za ocem ili za materom. 8 Tako ne ulazi u kuću u kojoj je žalost da sediš s njima da jedeš i piješ. 9 Jer ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: Evo, ja ću učiniti da na ovom mestu pred vašim očima i za vaših dana ne bude glasa radosnog ni glasa veselog, glasa ženikovog ni glasa nevestinog. 10 A kad kažeš tom narodu sve ove reči, ako ti kažu: Zašto izreče Gospod sve to veliko zlo na nas? I kakvo je bezakonje naše ili kakav je greh naš, kojim zgrešismo Gospodu Bogu svom? 11 Tada im reci: Jer oci vaši ostaviše mene, govori Gospod, i idoše za drugim bogovima i služiše im i klanjaše im se, a mene ostaviše i zakon moj ne držaše; 12 a vi još gore činite nego oci vaši, jer eto idete svaki po misli srca svog zlog ne slušajući mene. 13 Zato ću vas izbaciti iz ove zemlje u zemlju koje ne poznaste ni vi ni oci vaši, i onde ćete služiti drugim bogovima dan i noć dokle vam ne učinim milost. 14 Zato, evo, idu dani, govori Gospod, kad se neće više govoriti: Tako da je živ Gospod koji je izveo sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje misirske; 15 nego: Tako da je živ Gospod koji je izveo sinove Izrailjeve iz zemlje severne i iz svih zemalja u koje ih beše razagnao! Jer ću ih opet dovesti u zemlju njihovu koju sam dao ocima njihovim. 16 Gle, ja ću poslati mnoge ribare, govori Gospod, da ih love, i posle ću poslati mnoge lovce da ih love po svakoj gori i po svakom humu i po raselinama kamenim. 17 Jer oči moje paze na sve puteve njihove, nisu sakriveni od mene, niti je bezakonje njihovo zaklonjeno od mojih očiju. 18 I platiću im prvo dvojinom za bezakonje njihovo i za greh njihov, što oskvrniše zemlju moju strvima gadova svojih, i nasledstvo moje napuniše gnusobama svojim. 19 Gospode, kreposti moja i grade moj i utočište moje u nevolji, k Tebi će doći narodi od krajeva zemaljskih, i reći će: Doista oci naši imaše laž, i taštinu i što ni malo ne pomaže. 20 Eda li će čovek načiniti sebi bogove, koji ipak nisu bogovi? 21 Zato, evo, ja ću ih naučiti sada, pokazaću im ruku svoju i silu svoju, da poznadu da mi je ime 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).
… we now see fulfilled, he thus spoke: "O Lord my God, and my refuge in the day of evils, to Thee shall the nations come from the utmost end of the earth, saying, Truly our fathers have worshipped lying images, wherein there is no profit." But that the Jews, by whom He behoved even to be slain, were not going …

Therefore nations that are converted to Christ afterwards, and taking to heart the impieties of their parents, and saying now what the prophet Jeremias himself said, "Truly a lie our fathers have worshipped, vanity which hath not profited them" --when, I say, they now say this, they renounce the opinions and blasphemies of their unjust parents....There have led us away …

… if the heathen who came from the ends of the earth, in the words of Jeremias, "The Gentiles shall come unto Thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our forefathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit:" if the heathen forsook their idols, to come to the God of Israel; ought Israel …
