1 καὶ σύ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου λαβὲ σεαυτῷ πλίνθον καὶ θήσεις αὐτὴν πρὸ προσώπου σου καὶ διαγράψεις ἐπ' αὐτὴν πόλιν τὴν ιερουσαλημ

2 καὶ δώσεις ἐπ' αὐτὴν περιοχὴν καὶ οἰκοδομήσεις ἐπ' αὐτὴν προμαχῶνας καὶ περιβαλεῖς ἐπ' αὐτὴν χάρακα καὶ δώσεις ἐπ' αὐτὴν παρεμβολὰς καὶ τάξεις τὰς βελοστάσεις κύκλῳ

3 καὶ σὺ λαβὲ σεαυτῷ τήγανον σιδηροῦν καὶ θήσεις αὐτὸ τοῖχον σιδηροῦν ἀνὰ μέσον σοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἑτοιμάσεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπ' αὐτήν καὶ ἔσται ἐν συγκλεισμῷ καὶ συγκλείσεις αὐτήν σημεῖόν ἐστιν τοῦτο τοῖς υἱοῖς ισραηλ

4 καὶ σὺ κοιμηθήσῃ ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν σου τὸ ἀριστερὸν καὶ θήσεις τὰς ἀδικίας τοῦ οἴκου ισραηλ ἐπ' αὐτοῦ κατὰ ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν πεντήκοντα καὶ ἑκατόν ἃς κοιμηθήσῃ ἐπ' αὐτοῦ καὶ λήμψῃ τὰς ἀδικίας αὐτῶν

5 καὶ ἐγὼ δέδωκά σοι τὰς δύο ἀδικίας αὐτῶν εἰς ἀριθμὸν ἡμερῶν ἐνενήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἡμέρας καὶ λήμψῃ τὰς ἀδικίας τοῦ οἴκου ισραηλ

6 καὶ συντελέσεις ταῦτα πάντα καὶ κοιμηθήσῃ ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν σου τὸ δεξιὸν καὶ λήμψῃ τὰς ἀδικίας τοῦ οἴκου ιουδα τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας ἡμέραν εἰς ἐνιαυτὸν τέθεικά σοι

7 καὶ εἰς τὸν συγκλεισμὸν ιερουσαλημ ἑτοιμάσεις τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ τὸν βραχίονά σου στερεώσεις καὶ προφητεύσεις ἐπ' αὐτήν

8 καὶ ἐγὼ ἰδοὺ δέδωκα ἐπὶ σὲ δεσμούς καὶ μὴ στραφῇς ἀπὸ τοῦ πλευροῦ σου ἐπὶ τὸ πλευρόν σου ἕως οὗ συντελεσθῶσιν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ συγκλεισμοῦ σου

9 καὶ σὺ λαβὲ σεαυτῷ πυροὺς καὶ κριθὰς καὶ κύαμον καὶ φακὸν καὶ κέγχρον καὶ ὄλυραν καὶ ἐμβαλεῖς αὐτὰ εἰς ἄγγος ἓν ὀστράκινον καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτὰ σαυτῷ εἰς ἄρτους καὶ κατ' ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν ἃς σὺ καθεύδεις ἐπὶ τοῦ πλευροῦ σου ἐνενήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἡμέρας φάγεσαι αὐτά

10 καὶ τὸ βρῶμά σου ὃ φάγεσαι ἐν σταθμῷ εἴκοσι σίκλους τὴν ἡμέραν ἀπὸ καιροῦ ἕως καιροῦ φάγεσαι αὐτά

11 καὶ ὕδωρ ἐν μέτρῳ πίεσαι τὸ ἕκτον τοῦ ιν ἀπὸ καιροῦ ἕως καιροῦ πίεσαι

12 καὶ ἐγκρυφίαν κρίθινον φάγεσαι αὐτά ἐν βολβίτοις κόπρου ἀνθρωπίνης ἐγκρύψεις αὐτὰ κατ' ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν

13 καὶ ἐρεῖς τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς τοῦ ισραηλ οὕτως φάγονται οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ ἀκάθαρτα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν

14 καὶ εἶπα μηδαμῶς κύριε θεὲ τοῦ ισραηλ ἰδοὺ ἡ ψυχή μου οὐ μεμίανται ἐν ἀκαθαρσίᾳ καὶ θνησιμαῖον καὶ θηριάλωτον οὐ βέβρωκα ἀπὸ γενέσεώς μου ἕως τοῦ νῦν οὐδὲ εἰσελήλυθεν εἰς τὸ στόμα μου πᾶν κρέας ἕωλον

15 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με ἰδοὺ δέδωκά σοι βόλβιτα βοῶν ἀντὶ τῶν βολβίτων τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων καὶ ποιήσεις τοὺς ἄρτους σου ἐπ' αὐτῶν

16 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ συντρίβω στήριγμα ἄρτου ἐν ιερουσαλημ καὶ φάγονται ἄρτον ἐν σταθμῷ καὶ ἐν ἐνδείᾳ καὶ ὕδωρ ἐν μέτρῳ καὶ ἐν ἀφανισμῷ πίονται

17 ὅπως ἐνδεεῖς γένωνται ἄρτου καὶ ὕδατος καὶ ἀφανισθήσεται ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τακήσονται ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν

23. 21. Art thou not from old, Jehovah, my God, mine Holy One? let us not die. Jehovah, thou hast placed him for judgment, and, O Rock, thou hast established him for correction (Habakkuk 1:12). (The vision is yet for the appointed time; it shall not lie: wait for it, because in coming it will come, nor will it tarry (Habakkuk 2:3).

Jehovah, I have heard the report of Thee; I have revered Thy work; make that present in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make [known]. God shall come out of Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His honor covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise. His brightness will be as the light, rays coming forth from His hand, and there will be the hiding of His strength. Thou wentest forth for the salvation of Thy people. I will be glad in Jehovah, I will exult in the God of my salvation. Jehovah Lord is my strength, He will make me to walk upon mine high places (Habakkuk 3:2-4, 13, 18-19).

(Shout and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come that I may dwell in the midst of thee. Then many nations shall be joined to Jehovah in that day, they shall be to Me for a people, and I will dwell in thee (Zechariah 2:10-11).)

(Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy King cometh unto thee: He is just and saved, lowly, riding upon an ass, and upon the foal of asses. He shall speak peace unto the nations: and His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river even unto the ends of the earth.) Jehovah shall appear over them, and His weapon shall go forth as the lightning, and the Lord Jehovih shall sound with a trumpet, and shall go in the whirlwinds of the south. Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock, His people (Zechariah 9:9-10, 14, 16).

(Behold, I send Mine angel, who shall prepare the way before Me; and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple), and the messenger of the covenant whom ye seek. Behold, He cometh, saith Jehovah of Hosts. Who may abide His coming, and who may stand when He appeareth? (Malachi 3:1-2).

Behold, I send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come, that he may turn the heart of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the sons to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse ([Malachi 4:5-6]).
