- Vulgate (Clementine)
- si forte cadat oratio eorum in conspectu Domini, et revertatur unusquisque a via sua pessima : quoniam magnus furor et indignatio est quam locutus est Dominus adversus populum hunc.
- Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 43:7
- ἴσως πεσεῖται ἔλεος αὐτῶν κατὰ πρόσωπον Κυρίου, καὶ ἀποστρέψουσιν ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτῶν τῆς πονηρᾶς, ὅτι μέγας ὁ θυμὸς καὶ ἡ ὀργὴ Κυρίου ἣν ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- אוּלַ֞י תִּפֹּ֤ל תְּחִנָּתָם֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וְיָשֻׁ֕בוּ אִ֖ישׁ מִדַּרְכּ֣וֹ הָרָעָ֑ה כִּֽי גָד֤וֹל הָאַף֙ וְהַ֣חֵמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל הָעָ֥ם הַזֶּֽה
Haydock's commentary
They. Literally, "their supplication may fall prostrate before," &c. (Haydock)
It is personified. So Homer represents (Calmet) "supplications," as daughters of Jupiter, lame, and with eyes averted, (Iliad ix.) to shew how we ought to pray. Jeremias finds means to instruct the people: the word of God is not bound, 2 Timothy ii. 9. (Calmet)
As many refused to hear his discourses, God ordered him to write what might be a perpetual warning and reproach, or testimony against them. (Worthington)
