כֹּה׀ אָמַר יְהוָה אָרוּר הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר יִבְטַח בָּֽאָדָם וְשָׂם בָּשָׂר זְרֹעוֹ וּמִן-יְהוָה יָסוּר לִבּֽוֹ׃
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
וְלֹא שָֽׁמְעוּ וְלֹֽא-הִטּוּ אֶת-אָזְנָם וַיֵּֽלְכוּ בְּמֹעֵצוֹת בִּשְׁרִרוּת לִבָּם הָרָע וַיִּהְיוּ לְאָחוֹר וְלֹא לְפָנִֽים׃
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
עָקֹב הַלֵּב מִכֹּל וְאָנֻשׁ הוּא מִי יֵדָעֶֽנּוּ׃
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
וְאָמְרוּ נוֹאָשׁ כִּֽי-אַחֲרֵי מַחְשְׁבוֹתֵינוּ נֵלֵךְ וְאִישׁ שְׁרִרוּת לִבּֽוֹ-הָרָע נַעֲשֶֽׂה׃
And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
ὥστε ὁ δοκῶν ἑστάναι βλεπέτω μὴ πέσῃ
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Βλέπετε μὴ παραιτήσησθε τὸν λαλοῦντα· εἰ γὰρ ἐκεῖνοι οὐκ ἔφυγον τὸν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς παραιτησάμενοι χρηματίζοντα πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἡμεῖς οἱ τὸν ἀπ' οὐρανῶν ἀποστρεφόμενοι
See ye that refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
ὁ δὲ δίκαιός ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται καὶ ἐὰν ὑποστείληται οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν αὐτῷ
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
וְלֹא שָֽׁמְעוּ וְלֹֽא-הִטּוּ אֶת-אָזְנָם וַיֵּלְכוּ אִישׁ בִּשְׁרִירוּת לִבָּם הָרָע וָאָבִיא עֲלֵיהֶם אֶֽת-כָּל-דִּבְרֵי הַבְּרִית-הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר-צִוִּיתִי לַעֲשׂוֹת וְלֹא עָשֽׂוּ׃
Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.
וְאַתֶּם הֲרֵעֹתֶם לַעֲשׂוֹת מֵאֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם וְהִנְּכֶם הֹלְכִים אִישׁ אַֽחֲרֵי שְׁרִרוּת לִבּֽוֹ-הָרָע לְבִלְתִּי שְׁמֹעַ אֵלָֽי׃
And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:
ἔσωθεν γὰρ ἐκ τῆς καρδίας τῶν ἀνθρώπων οἱ διαλογισμοὶ οἱ κακοὶ ἐκπορεύονται μοιχεῖαι πορνεῖαι φόνοι
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Βλέπετε μή τις ὑμᾶς πλανήσῃ·
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
ἐπισκοποῦντες μή τις ὑστερῶν ἀπὸ τῆς χάριτος τοῦ θεοῦ μή τις ῥίζα πικρίας ἄνω φύουσα ἐνοχλῇ καὶ διὰ ταὐτῆς μιανθῶσιν πολλοί
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
כִּי מְשׁוּבַת פְּתָיִם תַּֽהַרְגֵם וְשַׁלְוַת כְּסִילִים תְּאַבְּדֵֽם׃
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
διὸ προσώχθισα τῇ γενεᾷ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εἶπον Ἀεὶ πλανῶνται τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοὶ δὲ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὰς ὁδούς μου
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
βλέπετε ἀγρυπνεῖτε καὶ προσεύχεσθε· οὐκ οἴδατε γὰρ πότε ὁ καιρός ἐστιν
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
בָּעֵת הַהִיא יִקְרְאוּ לִירוּשָׁלִַם כִּסֵּא יְהוָה וְנִקְוּוּ אֵלֶיהָ כָֽל-הַגּוֹיִם לְשֵׁם יְהוָה לִירוּשָׁלִָם וְלֹא-יֵלְכוּ עוֹד אַחֲרֵי שְׁרִרוּת לִבָּם הָרָֽע׃
At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
כִּֽי-שְׁתַּיִם רָעוֹת עָשָׂה עַמִּי אֹתִי עָזְבוּ מְקוֹר׀ מַיִם חַיִּים לַחְצֹב לָהֶם בֹּארוֹת בֹּארֹת נִשְׁבָּרִים אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יָכִלוּ הַמָּֽיִם׃
For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
הָאֹמְרִים לָאֵל סוּר מִמֶּנּוּ וּמַה-יִּפְעַל שַׁדַּי לָֽמוֹ׃
Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
Διὰ τοῦτο δεῖ περισσοτέρως ἡμᾶς προσέχειν τοῖς ἀκουσθεῖσιν μήποτε παραῤῥυῶμεν
Therefore we ought to give heed the more earnest to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
כִּֽי-שָׁמַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵי יְהוָה וְלֹֽא-רָשַׁעְתִּי מֵאֱלֹהָֽי׃
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
