ἄφετε αὐτούς· ὁδηγοί εἰσιν τυφλοί τυφλῶν· τυφλὸς δὲ τυφλὸν ἐὰν ὁδηγῇ ἀμφότεροι εἰς βόθυνον πεσοῦνται
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
πονηροὶ δὲ ἄνθρωποι καὶ γόητες προκόψουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ χεῖρον πλανῶντες καὶ πλανώμενοι
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Οὐαὶ ὑμῖν ὁδηγοὶ τυφλοὶ οἱ λέγοντες Ὃς ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῷ ναῷ οὐδέν ἐστιν· ὃς δ' ἂν ὀμόσῃ ἐν τῷ χρυσῷ τοῦ ναοῦ ὀφείλει
Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
εἴ τις ἑτεροδιδασκαλεῖ καὶ μὴ προσέρχεται ὑγιαίνουσιν λόγοις τοῖς τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ τῇ κατ' εὐσέβειαν διδασκαλίᾳ
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
לָכֵן כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה עַֽל-הַנְּבִאִים הַנִּבְּאִים בִּשְׁמִי וַאֲנִי לֹֽא-שְׁלַחְתִּים וְהֵמָּה אֹֽמְרִים חֶרֶב וְרָעָב לֹא יִהְיֶה בָּאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת בַּחֶרֶב וּבָֽרָעָב יִתַּמּוּ הַנְּבִאִים הָהֵֽמָּה׃
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֵלָי עוֹד קַח-לְךָ כְּלִי רֹעֶה אֱוִלִֽי׃
And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
וַיִּֽהְיוּ מְאַשְּׁרֵי הָֽעָם-הַזֶּה מַתְעִים וּמְאֻשָּׁרָיו מְבֻלָּעִֽים׃
For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
(צפו) צֹפָיו עִוְרִים כֻּלָּם לֹא יָדָעוּ כֻּלָּם כְּלָבִים אִלְּמִים לֹא יוּכְלוּ לִנְבֹּחַ הֹזִים שֹֽׁכְבִים אֹהֲבֵי לָנֽוּם׃
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
הֹבִישׁוּ כִּי תוֹעֵבָה עָשׂוּ גַּם-בּוֹשׁ לֹֽא-יֵבוֹשׁוּ גַּם-הַכְלִים לֹא יָדָעוּ לָכֵן יִפְּלוּ בַנֹּפְלִים בְּעֵת-פְּקַדְתִּים יִכָּשְׁלוּ אָמַר יְהוָֽה׃
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
ὄφεις γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν πῶς φύγητε ἀπὸ τῆς κρίσεως τῆς γεέννης
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
הֹבִשׁוּ כִּי תוֹעֵבָה עָשׂוּ גַּם-בּוֹשׁ לֹֽא-יֵבֹשׁוּ וְהִכָּלֵם לֹא יָדָעוּ לָכֵן יִפְּלוּ בַנֹּפְלִים בְּעֵת פְּקֻדָּתָם יִכָּשְׁלוּ אָמַר יְהוָֽה׃
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
πέποιθάς τε σεαυτὸν ὁδηγὸν εἶναι τυφλῶν φῶς τῶν ἐν σκότει
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
לָכֵן לַיְלָה לָכֶם מֵֽחָזוֹן וְחָשְׁכָה לָכֶם מִקְּסֹם וּבָאָה הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ עַל-הַנְּבִיאִים וְקָדַר עֲלֵיהֶם הַיּֽוֹם׃
Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
