1 هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱحْفَظُوا ٱلْحَقَّ وَأَجْرُوا ٱلْعَدْلَ. لِأَنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ مَجِيءُ خَلَاصِي وَٱسْتِعْلَانُ بِرِّي. 2 طُوبَى لِلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَعْمَلُ هَذَا، وَلِٱبْنِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلَّذِي يَتَمَسَّكُ بِهِ، ٱلْحَافِظِ ٱلسَّبْتَ لِئَلَّا يُنَجِّسَهُ، وَٱلْحَافِظِ يَدَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ عَمَلِ شَرٍّ». 3 فَلَا يَتَكَلَّمِ ٱبْنُ ٱلْغَرِيبِ ٱلَّذِي ٱقْتَرَنَ بِٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «إِفْرَازًا أَفْرَزَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ شَعْبِهِ». وَلَا يَقُلِ ٱلْخَصِيُّ: «هَا أَنَا شَجَرَةٌ يَابِسَةٌ». 4 لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلْخِصْيَانِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْفَظُونَ سُبُوتِي، وَيَخْتَارُونَ مَا يَسُرُّنِي، وَيَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِعَهْدِي: 5 «إِنِّي أُعْطِيهِمْ فِي بَيْتِي وَفِي أَسْوَارِي نُصُبًا وَٱسْمًا أَفْضَلَ مِنَ ٱلْبَنِينَ وَٱلْبَنَاتِ. أُعْطِيهِمْ ٱسْمًا أَبَدِيًّا لَا يَنْقَطِعُ. 6 وَأَبْنَاءُ ٱلْغَرِيبِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقْتَرِنُونَ بِٱلرَّبِّ لِيَخْدِمُوهُ وَلِيُحِبُّوا ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَكُونُوا لَهُ عَبِيدًا، كُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَحْفَظُونَ ٱلسَّبْتَ لِئَلَّا يُنَجِّسُوهُ، وَيَتَمَسَّكُونَ بِعَهْدِي، 7 آتِي بِهِمْ إِلَى جَبَلِ قُدْسِي، وَأُفَرِّحُهُمْ فِي بَيْتِ صَلَاتِي، وَتَكُونُ مُحْرَقَاتُهُمْ وَذَبَائِحُهُمْ مَقْبُولَةً عَلَى مَذْبَحِي، لِأَنَّ بَيْتِي بَيْتَ ٱلصَّلَاةِ يُدْعَى لِكُلِّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ». 8 يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ جَامِعُ مَنْفِيِّي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَجْمَعُ بَعْدُ إِلَيْهِ، إِلَى مَجْمُوعِيهِ». 9 يَا جَمِيعَ وُحُوشِ ٱلْبَرِّ تَعَالَيْ لِلْأَكْلِ. يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْوُحُوشِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْوَعْرِ. 10 مُرَاقِبُوهُ عُمْيٌ كُلُّهُمْ. لَا يَعْرِفُونَ. كُلُّهُمْ كِلَابٌ بُكْمٌ لَا تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَنْبَحَ. حَالِمُونَ مُضْطَجِعُونَ، مُحِبُّو ٱلنَّوْمِ. 11 وَٱلْكِلَابُ شَرِهَةٌ لَا تَعْرِفُ ٱلشَّبَعَ. وَهُمْ رُعَاةٌ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ ٱلْفَهْمَ. ٱلْتَفَتُوا جَمِيعًا إِلَى طُرُقِهِمْ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى ٱلرِّبْحِ عَنْ أَقْصَى. 12 «هَلُمُّوا آخُذُ خَمْرًا وَلْنَشْتَفَّ مُسْكِرًا، وَيَكُونُ ٱلْغَدُ كَهَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ عَظِيمًا بَلْ أَزْيَدَ جِدًّا».

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).

“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).
The seed, then, and the name of the saints shall remain in that blessedness,--the seed, to wit, of which John says, "And his seed remaineth in him;" and the name, of which it was said through Isaiah himself, "I will give them an everlasting name." "And there shall be to them month after month, and Sabbath after Sabbath," as if …

For even some dogs have been reproved by the Prophet Isaiah, not because they were dogs, but because they knew not how to bark, and loved to sleep. In which place indeed he hath shown, that if they had watched and barked for …

For of these it is said elsewhere, "Dumb dogs, they know not how to bark." Of them too is that said, "Lo, how the righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart." He perished as far as lay in them who would have Him to perish; for how could He perish by dying, who in that way rather was …
