1LXX 45:1Now Saphatias the son of Mathan, and Gedelias the son of Phassur, and Juchal the son of Selemias, and Phassur the son of Melchias heard the words that Jeremias spoke to all the people, saying:Audivit autem Saphatias filius Mathan, et Gedelias filius Phassur, et Iuchal filius Selemiae, et Phassur filius Melchiae, sermones quos Ieremias loquebatur ad omnem populum, dicens:Καὶ ἤκουσε Σαφανίας υἱὸς Νάθαν, καὶ Γοδολίας υἱὸς Πασχὼρ, καὶ Ἰωάχαλ υἱὸς Σεμελίου, τοὺς λόγους οὓς Ἱερεμίας ἐλάλει ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν, λέγων,
2LXX 45:2Thus saith the Lord: Whosoever shell remain in this city, shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence: but he that shall go forth to the Chaldeans, shall live, and his life shall be safe, and he shall live.Haec dicit Dominus: Quicumque manserit in civitate hac, morietur gladio, et fame, et peste: qui autem profugerit ad Chaldaeos, vivet, et erit anima eius sospes et vivens.Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ, ἀποθανεῖται ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ, καὶ ἐν λιμῷ· καὶ ὁ ἐκπορευόμενος πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους, ζήσεται, καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς εὕρημα, καὶ ζήσεται.
3LXX 45:3Thus saith the Lord: This city shall surely be delivered into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.Haec dicit Dominus: Tradendo tradetur civitas haec in manu exercitus regis Babylonis, et capiet eam.Ὅτι οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, παραδιδομένη παραδοθήσεται ἡ πόλις αὕτη εἰς χεῖρας δυνάμεως βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ συλλήψεται αὐτήν.
4LXX 45:4And the princes said to the king: We beseech thee that this man may be put to death: for on purpose he weakeneth the hands of the men of war, that remain in this city, and the hands of the people, speaking to them according to these words: for this man seeketh not peace to this people, but evil.Et dixerunt principes regi: Rogamus ut occidatur homo iste: de industria enim dissolvit manus virorum bellantium qui remanserunt in civitate hac, et manus universi populi, loquens ad eos iuxta verba haec: siquidem homo iste non quaerit pacem populo huic, sed malum.Καὶ εἶπον τῷ βασιλεῖ, ἀναιρεθήτω δὴ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐκλύει τὰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῶν πολεμούντων τῶν καταλειπομένων ἐν τῇ πόλει, καὶ τὰς χεῖρας παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ, λαλῶν πρὸς αὐτοὺς κατὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους· ὅτι ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος οὐ χρησμολογεῖ εἰρήνην τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ ἀλλʼ ἢ πονηρά.
5LXX 45:5And king Sedecias said: Behold he is in your hands: for it is not lawful for the king to deny you any thing.Et dixit rex Sedecias: Ecce ipse in manibus vestris est: nec enim fas est regem vobis quidquam negare.Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς, ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἐν χερσὶν ὑμῶν· ὅτι οὐκ ἠδύνατο ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς αὐτούς.
6LXX 45:6Then they took Jeremias and cast him into the dungeon of Melchias the son of Amelech, which was in the entry of the prison: and they let down Jeremias by ropes into the dungeon, wherein there was no water, but mire. And Jeremias sunk into the mire.Tulerunt ergo Ieremiam, et proiecerunt eum in lacum Melchiae filii Amelech, qui erat in vestibulo carceris: et submiserunt Ieremiam funibus in lacum, in quo non erat aqua, sed lutum: descendit itaque Ieremias in coenum.Καὶ ἔῤῥιψαν αὐτὸν εἰς λάκκον Μελχίου υἱοῦ τοῦ βασιλέως, ὃς ἦν ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς, καὶ ἐχάλασαν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν λάκκον, καὶ ἐν τῷ λάκκῳ οὐκ ἦν ὕδωρ, ἀλλʼ ἢ βόρβορος, καὶ ἦν ἐν τῷ βορβόρῳ.
7LXX 45:7Now Abdemelech the Ethiopian, an eunuch that was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremias in the dungeon: but the king was sitting in the gate of Benjamin.Audivit autem Abdemelech Aethiops, vir eunuchus, qui erat in domo regis, quod misissent Ieremiam in lacum. Porro rex sedebat in porta Beniamin:Καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἀβδεμέλεχ ὁ Αἰθίοψ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν οἰκίᾳ τοῦ βασιλέως, ὅτι ἔδωκαν Ἱερεμίαν εἰς τὸν λάκκον· καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἦν ἐν τῇ πύλῃ Βενιαμὶν,
8LXX 45:8And Abdemelech went out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying:et egressus est Abdemelech de domo regis, et locutus est ad regem, dicens:καὶ ἐξῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ εἶπεν,
9LXX 45:9My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done against Jeremias the prophet, casting him into the dungeon to die there with hunger, for there is no more bread in the city.Domine mi rex, male fecerunt viri isti omnia quaecumque perpetrarunt contra Ieremiam prophetam, mittentes eum in lacum, ut moriatur ibi fame: non sunt enim panes ultra in civitate.ἐπονηρεύσω, ἃ ἐποίησας τοῦ ἀποκτεῖναι τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦτον, ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ λιμοῦ, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσὶν ἔτι ἄρτοι ἐν τῇ πόλει.
10LXX 45:10Then the king commanded Abdemelech the Ethiopian, saying: Take from hence thirty men with thee, and draw up Jeremias the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.Praecepit itaque rex Abdemelech Aethiopi, dicens: Tolle tecum hinc triginta viros, et leva Ieremiam prophetam de lacu, antequam moriatur.Καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Ἀβδεμέλεχ, λέγων, λάβε εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου ἐντεῦθεν τριάκοντα ἀνθρώπους, καὶ ἀνάγαγε αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου, ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνῃ.
11LXX 45:11So Abdemelech taking the men with him, went into the king’s house that was under the storehouse: and he took from thence old rags, and old rotten things, and he let them down by cords to Jeremias into the dungeon.Assumptis ergo Abdemelech secum viris, ingressus est domum regis, quae erat sub cellario, et tulit inde veteres pannos, et antiqua quae computruerant, et submisit ea ad Ieremiam in lacum per funiculos.Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἀβδεμέλεχ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τοῦ βασιλέως τὴν ὑπόγαιον, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐκεῖθεν παλαιὰ ῥάκη καὶ παλαιὰ σχοινία, καὶ ἔῤῥιψεν αὐτὰ πρὸς Ἱερεμίαν εἰς τὸν λάκκον,
12LXX 45:12And Abdemelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremias: Put these old rags and these rent and rotten things under thy arms, and upon the cords: and Jeremias did so.Dixitque Abdemelech Aethiops ad Ieremiam: Pone veteres pannos, et haec scissa et putrida, sub cubito manuum tuarum, et super funes. Fecit ergo Ieremias sic,καὶ εἶπε, ταῦτα θὲς ὑποκάτω τῶν σχοινίων· καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἱερεμίας οὕτως.
13LXX 45:13And they drew up Jeremias with the cords, and brought him forth out of the dungeon. And Jeremias remained in the entry of the prison.et extraxerunt Ieremiam funibus, et eduxerunt eum de lacu: mansit autem Ieremias in vestibulo carceris.Καὶ εἵλκυσαν αὐτὸν τοῖς σχοινίοις, καὶ ἀνήγαγον αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου· καὶ ἐκάθισεν Ἱερεμίας ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς.
14LXX 45:14And king Sedecias sent, and took Jeremias the prophet to him to the third gate, that was in the house of the Lord: and the king said to Jeremias: I will ask thee a thing, hide nothing from me.Et misit rex Sedecias, et tulit ad se Ieremiam prophetam ad ostium tertium quod erat in domo Domini: et dixit rex ad Ieremiam: Interrogo ego te sermonem, ne abscondas a me aliquid.Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν προς ἑαυτὸν εἰς οἰκίαν Ἀσελεισὴλ, τὴν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς, ἐρωτήσω σε λόγον, καὶ μὴ δὴ κρύψῃς ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ῥῆμα.
15LXX 45:15Then Jeremias said to Sedecias: If I shall declare it to thee, wilt thou not put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken to me.Dixit autem Ieremias ad Sedeciam: Si annuntiavero tibi, numquid non interficies me? et si consilium dedero tibi, non me audies.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἱερεμίας τῷ βασιλεῖ, ἐὰν ἀναγγείλω σοι, οὐχὶ θανάτῳ με θανατώσεις; καὶ ἐὰν συμβουλεύσω σοι, οὐ μὴ ἀκούσῃς μου.
16LXX 45:16Then king Sedecias swore to Jeremias, in private, saying: As the Lord liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, nor will I deliver thee into the hands of these men that seek thy life.Iuravit ergo rex Sedecias Ieremiae clam, dicens: Vivit Dominus, qui fecit nobis animam hanc, si occidero te, et si tradidero te in manus virorum istorum qui quaerunt animam tuam.Καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς, λέγων, ζῇ Κύριος ὃς ἐποίησεν ἡμῖν τὴν ψυχὴν ταύτην, εἰ ἀποκτενῶ σε, καὶ εἰ δώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων τούτων.
17LXX 45:17And Jeremias said to Sedecias: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: If thou wilt take a resolution and go out to the princes of the king of Babylon, thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burnt with fire: and thou shalt be safe, and thy house.Et dixit Ieremias ad Sedeciam: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Si profectus exieris ad principes regis Babylonis, vivet anima tua, et civitas haec non succendetur igni: et salvus eris tu, et domus tua.Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἱερεμίας, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἐὰν ἐξελθὼν ἐξέλθῃς πρὸς ἡγεμόνας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος, ζήσεται ἡ ψυχή σου, καὶ ἡ πόλις αὕτη οὐ μὴ κατακαυθῇ ἐν πυρὶ, καὶ ζήσῃ σὺ καὶ ἡ οἰκία σου.
18LXX 45:18But if thou wilt not go out to the princes of the king of Babylon, this city shall be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire: and thou shalt not escape out of their hands.Si autem non exieris ad principes regis Babylonis, tradetur civitas haec in manus Chaldaeorum, et succendent eam igni: et tu non effugies de manu eorum.Καὶ ἐὰν μὴ ἐξέλθῃς, δοθήσεται ἡ πόλις αὕτη εἰς χεῖρας τῶν Χαλδαίων, καὶ καύσουσιν αὐτὴν ἐν πυρὶ καὶ σὺ οὐ μὴ σωθῇς.
19LXX 45:19And king Sedecias said to Jeremias: I am afraid because of the Jews that are fled over to the Chaldeans: lest I should be delivered into their hands, and they should abuse me.Et dixit rex Sedecias ad Ieremiam: Sollicitus sum propter Iudaeos qui transfugerunt ad Chaldaeos, ne forte tradar in manus eorum, et illudant mihi.Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Ἱερεμίᾳ, ἐγὼ λόγον ἔχω τῶν Ἰουδαίων τῶν πεφευγότων πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους, μὴ δώσειν με εἰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν, καὶ καταμωκήσονταί μου.
20LXX 45:20But Jeremias answered: They shall not deliver thee: hearken, I beseech thee, to the word of the Lord, which I speak to thee, and it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live.Respondit autem Ieremias: Non te tradent. Audi, quaeso, vocem Domini, quam ego loquor ad te, et bene tibi erit, et vivet anima tua.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἱερεμίας, οὐ μὴ παραδῶσί σε· ἄκουσον τὸν λόγον Κυρίου, ὃν ἐγὼ λέγω πρὸς σὲ, καὶ βέλτιον ἔσται σοι, καὶ ζήσεται ἡ ψυχή σου.
21LXX 45:21But if thou wilt not go forth, this is the word which the Lord hath shewn me:Quod si nolueris egredi, iste est sermo quem ostendit mihi Dominus:Καὶ εἰ μὴ θέλῃς σὺ ἐξελθεῖν, οὗτος ὁ λόγος ὃν ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος·
22LXX 45:22Behold all the women that are left in the house of the king of Juda, shall be brought out to the princes of the king of Babylon: and they shall say: Thy men of peace have deceived thee, and have prevailed against thee, they have plunged thy feet in the mire, and in a slippery place, and they have departed from thee.ecce omnes mulieres quae remanserunt in domo regis Iuda educentur ad principes regis Babylonis, et ipsae dicent: Seduxerunt te, et praevaluerunt adversum te, viri pacifici tui: demerserunt in coeno et in lubrico pedes tuos, et recesserunt a te.Καὶ ἰδοὺ πᾶσαι αἱ γυναῖκες αἱ καταλειφθεῖσαι ἐν οἰκίᾳ βασιλέως Ἰούδα, ἐξήγοντο πρὸς ἄρχοντας βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος· καὶ αὗται ἔλεγον, ἠπάτησάν σε, καὶ δυνήσονταί σοι ἄνδρες εἰρηνικοί σου· καὶ καταλύσουσιν ἐν ὀλισθήμασι πόδα σου, ἀπέστρεψαν ἀπὸ σοῦ,
23LXX 45:23And all thy wives, and thy children shall be brought out to the Chaldeans, and thou shalt not escape their hands, but thou shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and he shall burn this city with fire.Et omnes uxores tuae et filii tui educentur ad Chaldaeos: et non effugies manus eorum, sed in manu regis Babylonis capieris, et civitatem hanc comburet igni.καὶ τᾶς γυναῖκάς σου καὶ τὰ τέκνα σου ἐξάξουσι πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους· καὶ σὺ οὐ μὴ σωθῇς, ὅτι ἐν χειρὶ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος συλληφθήσῃ, καὶ ἡ πόλις αὕτη κατακαυθήσεται.
24LXX 45:24Then Sedecias said to Jeremias: Let no man know these words, and thou shalt not die.Dixit ergo Sedecias ad Ieremiam: Nullus sciat verba haec, et non morieris.Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς, ἄνθρωπος μὴ γνώτω ἐκ τῶν λόγων τούτων, καὶ σὺ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃς.
25LXX 45:25But if the princes shall hear that I have spoken with thee, and shall come to thee, and say to thee: Tell us what thou hast said to the king, hide it not from us, and we will not kill thee: and also what the king said to thee:Si autem audierint principes quia locutus sum tecum, et venerint ad te, et dixerint tibi: Indica nobis quid locutus sis cum rege: ne celes nos, et non te interficiemus: et quid locutus est tecum rex:Καὶ ἐὰν οἱ ἄρχοντες ἀκούσωσιν ὅτι ἐλάλησά σοι, καὶ ἔλθωσι πρὸς σὲ, καὶ εἴπωσί σοι, ἀνάγγειλον ἡμῖν, τί ἐλάλησέ σοι ὁ βασιλεύς; μὴ κρύψῃς ἀφʼ ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀνέλωμέν σε· καὶ τί ἐλάλησε πρὸς σὲ ὁ βασιλεύς;
26LXX 45:26Thou shalt say to them: I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not command me to be carried back into the house of Jonathan, to die there.dices ad eos: Prostravi ego preces meas coram rege, ne me reduci iuberet in domum Ionathan, et ibi morerer.Καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς, ῥίπτω ἐγὼ τὸ ἔλεός μου κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως, πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἀποστρέψαι με εἰς οἰκίαν Ἰωνάθαν, ἀποθανεῖν με ἐκεῖ.
27LXX 45:27So all the princes came to Jeremias, and asked him: and he spoke to them according to all the words that the king had commanded him: and they left him: for nothing had been heard.Venerunt ergo omnes principes ad Ieremiam, et interrogaverunt eum, et locutus est eis iuxta omnia verba quae praeceperat ei rex: et cessaverunt ab eo: nihil enim fuerat auditum.Καὶ ἤλθοσαν πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες πρὸς Ἰερεμίαν, καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτόν· καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς κατὰ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους, οὓς ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· καὶ ἀπεσιώπησαν, ὅτι οὐκ ἠκούσθη ὁ λόγος Κυρίου.
28LXX 45:28But Jeremias remained in the entry of the prison, until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and it came to pass that Jerusalem was taken.Mansit vero Ieremias in vestibulo carceris usque ad diem quo capta est Ierusalem: et factum est ut caperetur Ierusalem.Καὶ ἐκάθισεν Ἱερεμίας ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς, ἕως χρόνου οὗ συνελήφθη Ἱερουσαλήμ.

Jesus laments over Jerusalem, which kills the prophets

The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and…
