44:1 Verbum quod factum est per Jeremiam ad omnes Judaeos qui habitabant in terra Aegypti, habitantes in Magdalo, et in Taphnis, et in Memphis, et in terra Phatures, dicens :
*H The word that came to Jeremias, concerning all the Jews that dwelt in the land of Egypt, dwelling in Magdal, and in Taphnis, and in Memphis, and in the land of Phatures, saying:
Ver. 1. Magdal, the third station of the Israelites, (Ex. xiv. 2.) or another "tower" twelve miles from Pelusium. C. xlvi. 14. — Memphis, the capital of Nome, near the western banks of the Nile, and famous for its pyramids, which are standing, though the town be no more. C. xlvi. 19. — Phatures; perhaps in higher Egypt. Jeremias might go or send to these cities, this his last prediction, (C.) to reclaim his countrymen from idolatry. H.

44:2 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel : Vos vidistis omne malum istud quod adduxi super Jerusalem, et super omnes urbes Juda : et ecce desertae sunt hodie, et non est in eis habitator,
*H Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: You have seen all this evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Juda: and behold they are desolate this day, and there is not an inhabitant in them:
Ver. 2. Inhabitant: or the number is exceedingly small. C. — All the Jews had retired. H. — It would be well if people would reflect, how those who have given way to heresy and infidelity have been treated. W.
51_2 Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ὑμεῖς ἑωράκατε πάντα τὰ κακὰ ἃ ἐπήγαγον ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα· καὶ ἰδού εἰσιν ἔρημοι ἀπὸ ἐνοίκων

44:3 propter malitiam quam fecerunt ut me ad iracundiam provocarent, et irent ut sacrificarent, et colerent deos alienos quos nesciebant, et illi, et vos, et patres vestri.
Because of the wickedness which they have committed, to provoke me to wrath, and to go and offer sacrifice, and worship other gods, which neither they, nor you, nor your fathers knew.

44:4 Et misi ad vos omnes servos meos prophetas, de nocte consurgens, mittensque et dicens : Nolite facere verbum abominationis hujuscemodi, quam odivi.
And I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early, and sending, and saying: Do not commit this abominable thing, which I hate.
51_4 Καὶ ἀπέστειλα πρὸς ὑμᾶς τοὺς παῖδάς μου τοὺς προφήτας ὄρθρου, καὶ ἀπέστειλα, λέγων, μὴ ποιήσητε τὸ πρᾶγμα τῆς μολύνσεως ταύτης, ἧς ἐμίσησα.

44:5 Et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam, ut converterentur a malis suis, et non sacrificarent diis alienis.
But they heard not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their evil ways, and not to sacrifice to strange gods.
51_5 Καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσάν μου, καὶ οὐκ ἔκλιναν τὸ οὖς αὐτῶν ἀποστρέψαι ἀπὸ τῶν κακῶν αὐτῶν, πρὸς τὸ μὴ θυμιᾷν θεοῖς ἑτέροις.

44:6 Et conflata est indignatio mea et furor meus, et succensa est in civitatibus Juda, et in plateis Jerusalem : et versae sunt in solitudinem et vastitatem secundum diem hanc.
*H Wherefore my indignation and my fury was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and they are turned to desolation and waste, as at this day.
Ver. 6. Forth, drop by drop. C. xlii. 18. I have repeatedly warned them by punishments. H.
51_6 Καὶ ἔσταξεν ἡ ὀργή μου, καὶ ὁ θυμός μου, καὶ ἐξεκαύθη ἐν πύλαις Ἰούδα, καὶ ἔξωθεν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἐγενήθησαν εἰς ἐρήμωσιν καὶ εἰς ἄβατον ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη.

44:7 Et nunc haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel : Quare vos facitis malum grande hoc contra animas vestras, ut intereat ex vobis vir et mulier, parvulus et lactens, de medio Judae, nec relinquatur vobis quidquam residuum :
And now thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against your own souls, that there should die of you man and woman, child and suckling out of the midst of Juda, and no remnant should be left you:
51_7 Καὶ νῦν οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος παντοκράτωρ, ἱνατί ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε κακὰ μεγάλα ἐπὶ ψυχαῖς ὑμῶν; ἐκκόψαι ὑμῶν ἄνθρωπον καὶ γυναῖκα, νήπιον καὶ θηλάζοντα ἐκ μέσου Ἰούδα, πρὸς τὸ μὴ καταλειφθῆναι ὑμῶν μηδένα,

44:8 provocantes me in operibus manuum vestrarum, sacrificando diis alienis in terra Aegypti, in quam ingressi estis ut habitetis ibi : et dispereatis, et sitis in maledictionem et in opprobrium cunctis gentibus terrae ?
*H In that you provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, by sacrificing to other gods in the land of Egypt, into which you are come to dwell there: and that you should perish, and be a curse, and a reproach to all the nations of the earth?
Ver. 8. Gods. Their blindness and malice was inconceivable. They attribute their past miseries to the neglect of worshipping the moon! v. 18. They may be compared to a mixture of iron and brass, which is put through the crucible in vain. C. vi. 29. Ezec. xxii. 18.
51_8 παραπικράναι με ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν ὑμῶν, θυμιᾷν θεοῖς ἑτέροις ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, εἰς ἣν ἤλθετε κατοικεῖν ἐκεῖ, ἵνα κοπῆτε, καὶ ἵνα γένησθε εἰς κατάραν καὶ εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσι τῆς γῆς;

44:9 Numquid obliti estis mala patrum vestrorum, et mala regum Juda, et mala uxorum ejus, et mala vestra, et mala uxorum vestrarum, quae fecerunt in terra Juda, et in regionibus Jerusalem ?
Have you forgotten the evils of your fathers, and the evils of the kings of Juda, and the evils of their wives, and your evils, and the evils of your wives, that they have done in the land of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
51_9 Μὴ ἐπιλέλησθε ὑμεῖς τῶν κακῶν τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν, καὶ τῶν κακῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ἰούδα, καὶ τῶν κακῶν τῶν ἀρχόντων ὑμῶν, καὶ τῶν κακῶν τῶν γυναικῶν ὑμῶν, ὧν ἐποίησαν ἐν γῇ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἔξωθεν Ἱερουσαλήμ;

44:10 Non sunt mundati usque ad diem hanc : et non timuerunt, et non ambulaverunt in lege Domini, et in praeceptis meis quae dedi coram vobis et coram patribus vestris.
They are not cleansed even to this day: neither have they feared, nor walked in the law of the Lord, nor in my commandments, which I set before you and your fathers.

9:4
And if they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall kill them. And I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
*H Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will set my face upon you for evil: and I will destroy all Juda.
Ver. 11. Face, to punish grievously. Ezec. iv. 3. and xx. 35. C. — All did not perish, but the far greatest part. v. 14. 28. W.
51_11 Διατοῦτο οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐφίστημι τὸ πρόσωπόν μου,

44:12 Et assumam reliquias Judae, qui posuerunt facies suas ut ingrederentur terram Aegypti, et habitarent ibi, et consumentur omnes in terra Aegypti : cadent in gladio, et in fame, et consumentur a minimo usque ad maximum : in gladio et in fame morientur, et erunt in jusjurandum, et in miraculum, et in maledictionem, et in opprobrium.
And I will take the remnant of Juda that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt, and to dwell there; and they shall be all consumed in the land of Egypt: they shall fall by the sword, and by the famine: and they shall be consumed from the least even to the greatest, by the sword, and by the famine shall they die: and they shall be for an execration, and for a wonder, and for a curse, and for a reproach.

And I will visit them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have visited Jerusalem by the sword, and by famine and by pestilence.
51_13 Καὶ ἐπισκέψομαι ἐπὶ τοὺς καθημένους ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, ὡς ἐπεσκεψάμην ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ,

44:14 et non erit qui effugiat, et sit residuus de reliquiis Judaeorum qui vadunt ut peregrinentur in terra Aegypti, et revertantur in terram Juda, ad quam ipsi elevant animas suas ut revertantur, et habitent ibi : non revertentur, nisi qui fugerint.
*H And there shall be none that shall escape, and remain of the remnant of the Jews that are gone to sojourn in the land of Egypt: and that shall return into the land of Juda, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: there shall none return but they that shall flee.
Ver. 14. Desire and expectation. C. xxii. 27. They meant to return as soon as the Chaldees had left the country: but their hopes were vain. The enemy would fall upon Egypt, after he had taken Tyre and the neighbouring provinces; and those who had not abandoned that country in time, would perish. v. 12. 26. C.
51_14 καὶ οὐκ ἔσται σεσωσμένος οὐδεὶς τῶν ἐπιλοίπων Ἰούδα τῶν παροικούντων ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι εἰς γῆν Ἰούδα, ἐφʼ ἣν αὐτοὶ ἐλπίζουσι ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι ἐκεῖ· οὐ μὴ ἐπιστρέψωσιν, ἀλλʼ ἢ οἱ ἀνασεσωσμένοι.

44:15 Responderunt autem Jeremiae omnes viri scientes quod sacrificarent uxores eorum diis alienis, et universae mulieres quarum stabat multitudo grandis, et omnis populus habitantium in terra Aegypti in Phatures, dicentes :
Then all the men that knew that their wives sacrificed to other gods: and all the women of whom there stood by a great multitude, and all the people of them that dwelt in the land of Egypt in Phatures, answered Jeremias, saying:
51_15 Καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν τῷ Ἱερεμίᾳ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ γνόντες ὅτι θυμιῶσιν αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ γυναῖκες, συναγωγὴ μεγάλη, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς οἱ καθήμενοι ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, ἐν Παθουρῇ, λέγοντες,

44:16 Sermonem quem locutus es ad nos in nomine Domini, non audiemus ex te :
As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken to thee:
51_16 Ὁ λόγος ὃν ἐλάλησας πρὸς ἡμᾶς τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου, οὐκ ἀκούσομέν σου,
הַ/דָּבָ֛ר אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּ֥רְתָּ אֵלֵ֖י/נוּ בְּ/שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה אֵינֶ֥/נּוּ שֹׁמְעִ֖ים אֵלֶֽי/ךָ
44:17 sed facientes faciemus omne verbum quod egredietur de ore nostro, ut sacrificemus reginae caeli, et libemus ei libamina, sicut fecimus nos et patres nostri, reges nostri et principes nostri, in urbibus Juda, et in plateis Jerusalem : et saturati sumus panibus, et bene nobis erat, malumque non vidimus.
*H But we will certainly do every word that shall proceed out of our own mouth, to sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, our kings, and our princes in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we were filled with bread, and it was well with us, and we saw no evil.
Ver. 17. The queen of heaven; the moon, which they worshipped under this name, (Ch.) as also under that of the Celestial Venus, (Theod.) Diana, and Isis. It seems the Jews had engaged by vow (v. 27.) to restore her worship. C. — The women more particularly adored the moon: yet all were guilty. C. vii. 18. and 4 K. xxiii. 5. W.
51_17 ὅτι ποιοῦντες ποιήσομεν πάντα τὸν λόγον ὃς ἐξελεύσεται ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ἡμῶν, θυμιᾷν τῇ βασιλίσσῃ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ σπένδειν αὐτῇ σπονδὰς, καθὰ ἐποιήσαμεν ἡμεῖς καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν, καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ἡμῶν, ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα καὶ ἔξωθεν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἐπλήσθημεν ἄρτων, καὶ ἐγενόμεθα χρηστοὶ, καὶ κακὰ οὐκ εἴδομεν.

44:18 Ex eo autem tempore quo cessavimus sacrificare reginae caeli, et libare ei libamina, indigemus omnibus, et gladio et fame consumpti sumus.
*H But since we left off to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out frank offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword, and by famine.
Ver. 18. Famine. They think nothing of the transgression of the law, &c. v. 23. Could obduracy and blindness go greater lengths? 1 Mac. i. 12.
51_18 Καὶ ὡς διελίπομεν θυμιῶντες τῇ βασιλίσσῃ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἠλαττώθημεν πάντες, καὶ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ ἐξελίπομεν.

44:19 Quod si nos sacrificamus reginae caeli, et libamus ei libamina, numquid sine viris nostris fecimus ei placentas ad colendum eam, et libandum ei libamina ?
*H And if we offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and pour out drink offerings to her: did we make cakes to worship her, to pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?
Ver. 19. Worship. Heb. "to represent." The cakes had a crescent on them. C. See Hesychius in ` selhnai. — Husbands. The women are most zealous. But all partook of this idolatry. C. vii. 18. C.
51_19 Καὶ ὅτι ἡμεῖς ἐθυμιῶμεν τῇ βασιλίσσῃ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἐσπείσαμεν αὐτῇ σπονδὰς, μὴ ἄνευ τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἡμῶν ἐποιήσαμεν αὐτῇ χαυῶνας, καὶ ἐσπείσαμεν αὐτῇ σπονδάς;

44:20 Et dixit Jeremias ad omnem populum, adversum viros, et adversum mulieres, et adversum universam plebem, qui responderant ei verbum, dicens :
And Jeremias spoke to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying:
51_20 Καὶ εἶπεν Ἱερεμίας παντὶ τῷ λαῷ, τοῖς δυνατοῖς καὶ ταῖς γυναιξὶ καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τοῖς ἀποκριθεῖσιν αὐτῷ λόγους, λέγων,
וַ/יֹּ֥אמֶר יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ אֶל כָּל הָ/עָ֑ם עַל הַ/גְּבָרִ֤ים וְ/עַל הַ/נָּשִׁים֙ וְ/עַל כָּל הָ/עָ֔ם הָ/עֹנִ֥ים אֹת֛/וֹ דָּבָ֖ר לֵ/אמֹֽר
44:21 Numquid non sacrificium quod sacrificastis in civitatibus Juda, et in plateis Jerusalem, vos et patres vestri, reges vestri, et principes vestri, et populus terrae, horum recordatus est Dominus, et ascendit super cor ejus ?
*H Was it not the sacrifice that you offered in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, which the Lord hath remembered, and hath it not entered into his heart?
Ver. 21. Heart, or mind to punish you for idolatry. Sacrifice could be offered to the Lord only in his temple. H.
51_21 οὐχὶ τοῦ θυμιάματος οὗ ἐθυμιάσατε ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἔξωθεν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ὑμεῖς καὶ οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς ὑμῶν, καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ὑμῶν, καὶ ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς, ἐμνήσθη Κύριος; καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ;

44:22 Et non poterat Dominus ultra portare propter malitiam studiorum vestrorum, et propter abominationes quas fecistis : et facta est terra vestra in desolationem, et in stuporem, et in maledictum, eo quod non sit habitator, sicut est dies haec.
So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed: therefore your land is become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
51_22 Καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο Κύριος ἔτι φέρειν ἀπὸ προσώπου πονηρίας πραγμάτων ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν βδελυγμάτων ὑμῶν ὧν ἐποιήσατε· καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡ γῆ ὑμῶν εἰς ἐρήμωσιν, καὶ εἰς ἄβατον, καὶ εἰς ἀρὰν, ὡς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ,

44:23 Propterea quod sacrificaveritis idolis, et peccaveritis Domino, et non audieritis vocem Domini, et in lege, et in praeceptis, et in testimoniis ejus non ambulaveritis, idcirco evenerunt vobis mala haec, sicut est dies haec.
Because you have sacrificed to idols, and have sinned against the Lord: and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have not walked in his law, and in his commandments, and in his testimonies: therefore are these evils come upon you, as at this day.
51_23 ἀπὸ προσώπου ὧν ἐθυμιᾶτε, καὶ ὧν ἡμάρτετε τῷ Κύριῳ· καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου, καὶ ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ καὶ ἐν τοῖς μαρτυρίοις αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐπορεύθητε, καὶ ἐπελάβετο ὑμῶν τὰ κακὰ ταῦτα.

44:24 Dixit autem Jeremias ad omnem populum, et ad universas mulieres : Audite verbum Domini, omnis Juda qui estis in terra Aegypti.
And Jeremias said to all the people and to all the women: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt:
51_24 Καὶ εἶπεν Ἱερεμίας τῷ λαῷ, καὶ ταῖς γυναιξὶν, ἀκουσατε λόγον Κυρίου.

44:25 Haec inquit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel, dicens : Vos et uxores vestrae locuti estis ore vestro, et manibus vestris implestis, dicentes : Faciamus vota nostra quae vovimus, ut sacrificemus reginae caeli, et libemus ei libamina. Implestis vota vestra, et opere perpetrastis ea.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, saying: You and your wives have spoken with your mouth, and fulfilled with your hands, saying: Let us perform our vows which we have made, to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her: you have fulfilled your vows, and have performed them indeed.
51_25 Οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ὑμεῖς γυναῖκες τῷ στόματι ὑμῶν ἐλαλήσατε, καὶ ταῖς χερσὶν ὑμῶν ἐπληρώσατε, λέγουσαι, ποιοῦσαι ποιήσομεν τὰς ὁμολογίας ἡμῶν ἃς ὡμολογήκαμεν, θυμιᾷν τῇ βασιλίσσῃ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ σπένδειν αὐτῇ σπονδάς· ἐμμείνασαι ἐνεμείνατε ταῖς ὁμολογίαις ὑμῶν, καὶ ποιοῦσαι ἐποιήσατε.

44:26 Ideo audite verbum Domini, omnis Juda qui habitatis in terra Aegypti : Ecce ego juravi in nomine meo magno, ait Dominus, quia nequaquam ultra vocabitur nomen meum ex ore omnis viri Judaei, dicentis : Vivit Dominus Deus, in omni terra Aegypti.
*H Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord: that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Juda, in the land of Egypt, saying: The Lord God liveth.
Ver. 26. Liveth. They swore by his name as well as by that of idols. God could not abide such company. C. ~emdash ~ Not one of these obstinate Jews shall be spared. v. 14. Others, like Jeremias, the Sept. and the holy family, no doubt called upon the Lord in the land of Egypt. H.

Behold I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Juda that are in the land of Egypt, shall be consumed, by the sword, and by famine, till there be an end of them.

And a few men that shall flee from the sword, shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Juda: and all the remnant of Juda that are gone into the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.

44:30 haec dicit Dominus : Ecce ego tradam Pharaonem Ephree regem Aegypti in manu inimicorum ejus, et in manu quaerentium animam illius, sicut tradidi Sedeciam regem Juda in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis inimici sui, et quaerentis animam ejus.
*H Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver Pharao Nechao king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life: as I delivered Sedecias king of Juda into the land of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon his enemy, and that sought his life.
Ver. 30. Enemies. Herodotus (ii. 161. 169.) informs us that Apries reigned fortunately twenty-five years, when he lost many of his men fighting against the Cyreneans, and was dethroned by Amasis, and strangled by his subjects. Usher (A. 3433) suspects that Amasis was assisted and confirmed by Nabuchodonosor, and he might thus fulfil the prophecies. C. xliii. 11. &c. Ezec. xxix. &c. Josephus (Ant. x. 11.) and Berosus (c. Ap. i.) assert, that Nabuchodonosor defeated and slew the king of Egypt, though Herodotus is silent on this subject, his account being communicated by the Egyptian priests, and full of fables. C.
