Jeremiah is not in PT1904.
1 Hæc dicit Dominus: Descende in domum regis Juda, et loqueris ibi verbum hoc,
·
2 et dices: [Audi verbum Domini, rex Juda, qui sedes super solium David: tu et servi tui, et populus tuus, qui ingredimini per portas istas.
·
3 Hæc dicit Dominus: Facite judicium et justitiam, et liberate vi oppressum de manu calumniatoris: et advenam, et pupillum, et viduam nolite contristare, neque opprimatis inique, et sanguinem innocentem ne effundatis in loco isto.
·
4 Si enim facientes feceritis verbum istud, ingredientur per portas domus hujus reges sedentes de genere David super thronum ejus, et ascendentes currus et equos, ipsi, et servi, et populus eorum.
·
5 Quod si non audieritis verba hæc: in memetipso juravi, dicit Dominus, quia in solitudinem erit domus hæc.
·
6 Quia hæc dicit Dominus super domum regis Juda: Galaad, tu mihi caput Libani, si non posuero te solitudinem, urbes inhabitabiles !
·
7 Et sanctificabo super te, interficientem virum et arma ejus: et succident electas cedros tuas, et præcipitabunt in ignem.
·
8 Et pertransibunt gentes multæ per civitatem hanc, et dicet unusquisque proximo suo: Quare fecit Dominus sic civitati huic grandi?
·
9 Et respondebunt: Eo quod dereliquerint pactum Domini Dei sui, et adoraverint deos alienos, et servierint eis.
·
10 Nolite flere mortuum, neque lugeatis super eum fletu: plangite eum qui egreditur, quia non revertetur ultra, nec videbit terram nativitatis suæ.
·
11 Quia hæc dicit Dominus ad Sellum, filium Josiæ, regem Juda, qui regnavit pro Josia patre suo, qui egressus est de loco isto: Non revertetur huc amplius,
·
12 sed in loco ad quem transtuli eum, ibi morietur, et terram istam non videbit amplius.
·
13 Væ qui ædificat domum suam in injustitia, et cœnacula sua non in judicio: amicum suum opprimet frustra, et mercedem ejus non reddet ei:
·
14 qui dicit: Ædificabo mihi domum latam, et cœnacula spatiosa: qui aperit sibi fenestras et facit laquearia cedrina, pingitque sinopide.
·
15 Numquid regnabis quoniam confers te cedro? pater tuus numquid non comedit et bibit, et fecit judicium et justitiam tunc cum bene erat ei?
·
16 Judicavit causam pauperis et egeni in bonum suum: numquid non ideo quia cognovit me? dicit Dominus.
·
17 Tui vero oculi et cor ad avaritiam, et ad sanguinem innocentem fundendum, et ad calumniam, et ad cursum mali operis.
·
18 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus ad Joakim, filium Josiæ, regem Juda: Non plangent eum: Væ frater ! et væ soror ! non concrepabunt ei: Væ domine ! et væ inclyte !
·
19 Sepultura asini sepelietur, putrefactus et projectus extra portas Jerusalem.]
·
20 [Ascende Libanum, et clama, et in Basan da vocem tuam: et clama ad transeuntes, quia contriti sunt omnes amatores tui.
·
21 Locutus sum ad te in abundantia tua, et dixisti: Non audiam: hæc est via tua ab adolescentia tua, quia non audisti vocem meam.
·
22 Omnes pastores tuos pascet ventus, et amatores tui in captivitatem ibunt: et tunc confunderis, et erubesces ab omni malitia tua.
·
23 Quæ sedes in Libano, et nidificas in cedris, quomodo congemuisti cum venissent tibi dolores, quasi dolores parturientis?
·
24 Vivo ego, dicit Dominus, quia si fuerit Jechonias filius Joakim regis Juda annulus in manu dextera mea, inde evellam eum,
·
25 et dabo te in manu quærentium animam tuam, et in manu quorum tu formidas faciem, et in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis, et in manu Chaldæorum:
·
26 et mittam te, et matrem tuam quæ genuit te, in terram alienam, in qua nati non estis, ibique moriemini.
·
27 Et in terram ad quam ipsi levant animam suam ut revertantur illuc, non revertentur.
·
28 Numquid vas fictile atque contritum vir iste Jechonias? numquid vas absque omni voluptate? quare abjecti sunt ipse et semen ejus, et projecti in terram quam ignoraverunt?
·
29 Terra, terra, terra, audi sermonem Domini.
·
30 Hæc dicit Dominus: Scribe virum istum sterilem, virum qui in diebus suis non prosperabitur: nec enim erit de semine ejus vir qui sedeat super solium David, et potestatem habeat ultra in Juda.]

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).
… the kingdom; Jeremiah thus declaring, "As I live, saith the Lord, if Jechoniah the son of Joachim king of Judah had been made the signet of my right hand, I would pluck him thence, and deliver him into the hand of those seeking thy life." And again: "Jechoniah is dishonoured as a useless vessel, for he has been cast into …
For Jeremiah says, "Behold, neither thine eyes nor thy heart are good; but [they are turned] to thy covetousness, and to shed innocent blood, and for injustice, and for man-slaying, that thou mayest do it." And again Isaiah saith, "Ye have taken counsel, but not of Me; and made covenants, [but] not by My Spirit." In order, therefore, that their …
