Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και συ, υιέ ανθρώπου, λάβε εις σεαυτόν μάχαιραν κοπτεράν· θέλεις λάβει εις σεαυτόν ξυράφιον κουρέως και θέλεις περάσει αυτό επί την κεφαλήν σου και επί τον πώγωνά σου. Λάβε έπειτα εις σεαυτόν πλάστιγγας ζυγίων και διαίρεσον αυτά.
1 “You, son of man, take a sharp sword. You shall take it as a barber’s razor to yourself, and shall cause it to pass over your head and over your beard. Then take balances to weigh and divide the hair.
2 Το τρίτον θέλεις καύσει εν πυρί εν τω μέσω της πόλεως, ενώ αι ημέραι της πολιορκίας συμπληρούνται· και το τρίτον θέλεις λάβει και κατακόψει κύκλω αυτής εν μαχαίρα· και το τρίτον θέλεις διασκορπίσει εις τον αέρα· και εγώ θέλω γυμνώσει μάχαιραν όπισθεν αυτών.
2 A third part you shall burn in the fire in the middle of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled. You shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it. A third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
3 Και εκ τούτων θέλεις λάβει έτι ολίγας τινάς και δέσει αυτάς εις τα κράσπεδά σου.
3 You shall take a small number of these and bind them in the folds of your robe.
4 Έπειτα λάβε έτι εκ τούτων και ρίψον αυτάς εις το μέσον του πυρός και κατάκαυσον αυτάς εν πυρί· εντεύθεν θέλει εξέλθει πυρ εις πάντα τον οίκον Ισραήλ.
4 Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the middle of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From it a fire will come out into all the house of Israel.
5 Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Αύτη είναι η Ιερουσαλήμ· εγώ έθεσα αυτήν εν μέσω των εθνών και των πέριξ αυτής τόπων.
5 “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the middle of the nations, and countries are around her.
6 Αλλ' αυτή μετήλλαξε τας κρίσεις μου εις ανομίαν χειρότερα παρά τα έθνη, και τα διατάγματά μου χειρότερα παρά τους τόπους τους πέριξ αυτής· διότι απέρριψαν τας κρίσεις μου και τα διατάγματά μου· δεν περιεπάτησαν εν αυτοίς.
6 She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.’
7 Όθεν ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Επειδή σεις υπερέβητε τα έθνη τα πέριξ υμών και δεν περιεπατήσατε εν τοις διατάγμασί μου και τας κρίσεις μου δεν εξετελέσατε αλλ' ουδέ κατά τας κρίσεις των εθνών των πέριξ υμών επράξατε,
7 “Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have followed the ordinances of the nations that are around you;
8 Διά τούτο ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός· Ιδού, και εγώ είμαι εναντίον σου και θέλω εκτελέσει κρίσεις εν μέσω σου ενώπιον των εθνών.
8 therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.
9 Και θέλω κάμει εις σε εκείνο το οποίον δεν έκαμον, ουδέ θέλω κάμει ποτέ όμοιον τούτου, διά πάντα τα βδελύγματά σου.
9 I will do in you that which I have not done, and which I will not do anything like it any more, because of all your abominations.
10 Διά τούτο οι πατέρες θέλουσι φάγει τα τέκνα αυτών εν μέσω σου και τα τέκνα θέλουσι φάγει τους πατέρας αυτών· και θέλω εκτελέσει κρίσεις εις σέ· άπαν δε το υπόλοιπόν σου θέλω διασκορπίσει εις πάντα άνεμον.
10 Therefore the fathers will eat the sons within you, and the sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments on you; and I will scatter the whole remnant of you to all the winds.
11 Διά τούτο, ζω εγώ, λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός, εξάπαντος, επειδή συ εμίανας τα άγιά μου με πάσας τας μιαράς πράξεις σου και με πάντα τα βδελύγματά σου, και εγώ λοιπόν θέλω σε συντρίψει· και ο οφθαλμός μου δεν θέλει φεισθή, και εγώ δεν θέλω σε ελεήσει.
11 Therefore as I live,’ says the Lord Yahweh, ‘surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you. My eye won’t spare, and I will have no pity.
12 Το τρίτον σου θέλουσιν αποθάνει υπό λοιμού και θέλουσιν αναλωθή εν μέσω σου υπό πείνης· και το τρίτον θέλουσι πέσει κύκλω σου υπό ρομφαίας· το δε άλλο τρίτον θέλω διασκορπίσει εις πάντα άνεμον και θέλω γυμνώσει μάχαιραν όπισθεν αυτών.
12 A third part of you will die with the pestilence, and they will be consumed with famine within you. A third part will fall by the sword around you. A third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
13 Και θέλει συντελεσθή ο θυμός μου και θέλω αναπαύσει την οργήν μου επ' αυτούς και θέλω ευχαριστηθή· και θέλουσι γνωρίσει ότι εγώ ο Κύριος ελάλησα εν τω ζήλω μου, όταν συντελέσω κατ' αυτών την οργήν μου.
13 “‘Thus my anger will be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I will be comforted. They will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on them.
14 Και θέλω σε καταστήσει έρημον και όνειδος μεταξύ των εθνών των κύκλω σου, ενώπιον παντός διαβαίνοντος.
14 “‘Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are around you, in the sight of all that pass by.
15 Και θέλεις είσθαι όνειδος και παίγνιον, διδασκαλία και θάμβος, εις τα έθνη τα κύκλω σου, όταν εκτελέσω κρίσεις εις σε εν θυμώ και εν οργή και μετ' επιτιμήσεων οργής· εγώ ο Κύριος ελάλησα.
15 So it will be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes—I, Yahweh, have spoken it—
16 Όταν εξαποστείλω επ' αυτούς τα κακά βέλη της πείνης τα εξολοθρευτικά, τα οποία θέλω εξαποστείλει διά να σας εξολοθρεύσω, θέλω επαυξήσει έτι την πείναν εις εσάς και θέλω συντρίψει εις εσάς το υποστήριγμα του άρτου.
16 when I send on them the evil arrows of famine that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you. I will increase the famine on you and will break your staff of bread.
17 Και θέλω εξαποστείλει εφ' υμάς πείναν και θηρία κακά και θέλουσι σε ορφανίσει, και λοιμός και αίμα θέλουσι περάσει διά σου, και θέλω φέρει ρομφαίαν επί σέ· εγώ ο Κύριος ελάλησα.
17 I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood will pass through you. I will bring the sword on you. I, Yahweh, have spoken it.’”

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).
And when any one surpasses in negligence those who are far inferior; wherewith in Ezekiel He doth charge them, saying, "Not even according to the judgments of the nations hast thou done." And when one is not sobered even by the examples of others, "She saw her sister," it is said, "and justified her." And when one has had the …
