- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Inventi sunt sermones tui, et comedi eos : et factum est mihi verbum tuum in gaudium et in lætitiam cordis mei, quoniam invocatum est nomen tuum super me, Domine Deus exercituum.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ὑπὸ τῶν ἀθετούντων τοὺς λόγους σου· συντέλεσον αὐτούς, καὶ ἔσται ὁ λόγος σου ἐμοὶ εἰς εὐφροσύνην καὶ χαρὰν καρδίας μου, ὅτι ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπ᾽ ἐμοί, Κύριε Παντοκράτωρ.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- נִמְצְא֤וּ דְבָרֶ֨יךָ֙ וָאֹ֣כְלֵ֔ם וַיְהִ֤י דבריך לִ֔י לְשָׂשׂ֖וֹן וּלְשִׂמְחַ֣ת לְבָבִ֑י כִּֽי נִקְרָ֤א שִׁמְךָ֙ עָלַ֔י יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י צְבָאֽוֹת
Haydock's commentary
Eat them. I received them most cordially, (Ezechiel iii. 1.; Haydock) as one who is hungry.
Upon me. I was recognized as the prophet of the Lord.

The Fathers on this verse
St Victorinus of Pettau Commentary on the Apocalypse of the Blessed John, General Notes by the American Editor
11. To take the book and eat it up, p. 353 , ver. 10. We must not fail to note with this the passage Jer. xv. 16 , where the Revised Version pedantically sacrifices the Septuagint reading, ὁ λόγος σου , (which is followed by the Vulgate), distinguishing “sermones tui” from “Verbum tuum.” The Seventy have testified to this distinction in their day, and their copies of the Hebrew must have supported it. So understood, what riches in the text of Jeremiah !
