1 πῶς ἀμαυρωθήσεται χρυσίον ἀλλοιωθήσεται τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ ἀγαθόν ἐξεχύθησαν λίθοι ἅγιοι ἐπ' ἀρχῆς πασῶν ἐξόδων

2 υἱοὶ σιων οἱ τίμιοι οἱ ἐπηρμένοι ἐν χρυσίῳ πῶς ἐλογίσθησαν εἰς ἀγγεῖα ὀστράκινα ἔργα χειρῶν κεραμέως

3 καί γε δράκοντες ἐξέδυσαν μαστούς ἐθήλασαν σκύμνοι αὐτῶν θυγατέρες λαοῦ μου εἰς ἀνίατον ὡς στρουθίον ἐν ἐρήμῳ

4 ἐκολλήθη ἡ γλῶσσα θηλάζοντος πρὸς τὸν φάρυγγα αὐτοῦ ἐν δίψει νήπια ᾔτησαν ἄρτον ὁ διακλῶν οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς

5 οἱ ἔσθοντες τὰς τρυφὰς ἠφανίσθησαν ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις οἱ τιθηνούμενοι ἐπὶ κόκκων περιεβάλοντο κοπρίας

6 καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη ἀνομία θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου ὑπὲρ ἀνομίας σοδομων τῆς κατεστραμμένης ὥσπερ σπουδῇ καὶ οὐκ ἐπόνεσαν ἐν αὐτῇ χεῖρας

7 ἐκαθαριώθησαν ναζιραῖοι αὐτῆς ὑπὲρ χιόνα ἔλαμψαν ὑπὲρ γάλα ἐπυρρώθησαν ὑπὲρ λίθους σαπφείρου τὸ ἀπόσπασμα αὐτῶν

8 ἐσκότασεν ὑπὲρ ἀσβόλην τὸ εἶδος αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐπεγνώσθησαν ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις ἐπάγη δέρμα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰ ὀστέα αὐτῶν ἐξηράνθησαν ἐγενήθησαν ὥσπερ ξύλον

9 καλοὶ ἦσαν οἱ τραυματίαι ῥομφαίας ἢ οἱ τραυματίαι λιμοῦ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐκκεκεντημένοι ἀπὸ γενημάτων ἀγρῶν

10 χεῖρες γυναικῶν οἰκτιρμόνων ἥψησαν τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν ἐγενήθησαν εἰς βρῶσιν αὐταῖς ἐν τῷ συντρίμματι τῆς θυγατρὸς λαοῦ μου

11 συνετέλεσεν κύριος θυμὸν αὐτοῦ ἐξέχεεν θυμὸν ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνῆψεν πῦρ ἐν σιων καὶ κατέφαγεν τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς

12 οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν βασιλεῖς γῆς πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην ὅτι εἰσελεύσεται ἐχθρὸς καὶ ἐκθλίβων διὰ τῶν πυλῶν ιερουσαλημ

13 ἐξ ἁμαρτιῶν προφητῶν αὐτῆς ἀδικιῶν ἱερέων αὐτῆς τῶν ἐκχεόντων αἷμα δίκαιον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς

14 ἐσαλεύθησαν ἐγρήγοροι αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις ἐμολύνθησαν ἐν αἵματι ἐν τῷ μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς ἥψαντο ἐνδυμάτων αὐτῶν

15 ἀπόστητε ἀκαθάρτων καλέσατε αὐτούς ἀπόστητε ἀπόστητε μὴ ἅπτεσθε ὅτι ἀνήφθησαν καί γε ἐσαλεύθησαν εἴπατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν οὐ μὴ προσθῶσιν τοῦ παροικεῖν

16 πρόσωπον κυρίου μερὶς αὐτῶν οὐ προσθήσει ἐπιβλέψαι αὐτοῖς πρόσωπον ἱερέων οὐκ ἔλαβον πρεσβύτας οὐκ ἠλέησαν

17 ἔτι ὄντων ἡμῶν ἐξέλιπον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν εἰς τὴν βοήθειαν ἡμῶν μάταια ἀποσκοπευόντων ἡμῶν ἀπεσκοπεύσαμεν εἰς ἔθνος οὐ σῷζον

18 ἐθηρεύσαμεν μικροὺς ἡμῶν τοῦ μὴ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἡμῶν ἤγγικεν ὁ καιρὸς ἡμῶν ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι ἡμῶν πάρεστιν ὁ καιρὸς ἡμῶν

19 κοῦφοι ἐγένοντο οἱ διώκοντες ἡμᾶς ὑπὲρ ἀετοὺς οὐρανοῦ ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων ἐξήφθησαν ἐν ἐρήμῳ ἐνήδρευσαν ἡμᾶς

20 πνεῦμα προσώπου ἡμῶν χριστὸς κυρίου συνελήμφθη ἐν ταῖς διαφθοραῖς αὐτῶν οὗ εἴπαμεν ἐν τῇ σκιᾷ αὐτοῦ ζησόμεθα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν

21 χαῖρε καὶ εὐφραίνου θύγατερ ιδουμαίας ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐπὶ γῆς καί γε ἐπὶ σὲ διελεύσεται τὸ ποτήριον κυρίου καὶ μεθυσθήσῃ καὶ ἀποχεεῖς

22 ἐξέλιπεν ἡ ἀνομία σου θύγατερ σιων οὐ προσθήσει ἔτι ἀποικίσαι σε ἐπεσκέψατο ἀνομίας σου θύγατερ εδωμ ἀπεκάλυψεν ἐπὶ τὰ ἀσεβήματά σου

Scriptural Confirmations # 59

59. 31. I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it. Jehovah of Hosts shall yet choose Jerusalem (Zechariah 1:16-17).

I saw a man with a measuring line in his hand. He said, I go to measure Jerusalem to see what is the breadth thereof and what is the length thereof. For I, saith Jehovah, will be unto Jerusalem a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her. Jehovah shall choose Jerusalem again (Zechariah 2:1-12).

Jehovah chooseth Jerusalem; is not this a brand snatched from the fire (Zechariah 3:2)?

Jehovah said, I will remove the iniquity of the land in one day. In that day shall ye call, a man to his neighbor, under the vine and under the fig tree (Zechariah 3:9-10).

Thus said Jehovah; I will return to Zion and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; therefore Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth, and the mountain of Jehovah of Hosts the mountain of holiness. The streets of the city shall yet be filled with boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. I will bring them that they may dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, that they may be My people, and I may be their God, in truth and justice. Thus many people shall come to seek Jehovah of Hosts in Jerusalem, to entreat the faces of Jehovah (Zechariah 8:2-5, 8, 12, 15, 20-22).

In that day all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against Jerusalem. In that day shall Jehovah protect the inhabitant of Jerusalem. The house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Jehovah before them. In that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. But I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitant of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of prayers, that they may look upon Me whom they pierced (Zechariah 12:3, 8-10).

In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. In that day I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and I will cause the unclean spirit to pass out of the land (Zechariah 13:1-2).

It shall be one day which is known unto Jehovah, not day nor night; for about evening time it shall be light. And it shall be in that day that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, in summer and in winter. And Jehovah shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall Jehovah be one, and His name one. There shall be no more curse upon the earth, but Jerusalem shall dwell securely (Zechariah 14:6-9, 11). In that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of Jehovah (verse 21).

(All the gates of Zion are devastated (Lamentations 1:4). Jehovah hath turned me back; He laid me waste (verse 13). My sons are devastated (verse 16). Devastation and breaking are come upon us (Lamentations 3:47).

Thine iniquity is consummated, He will visit thine iniquity. He will manifest thy sins (Lamentations 4:22).
