Jr 10 (King James)

   ¹ Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: ² Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. ³ For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. ⁴ They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. ⁵ They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. ⁶ Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. ⁷ Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee. ⁸ But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. ⁹ Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men. ¹⁰ But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. ¹¹ Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. ¹² He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. ¹³ When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. ¹⁴ Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. ¹⁵ They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. ¹⁶ The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.
   ¹⁷ Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. ¹⁸ For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so. ¹⁹ Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it. ²⁰ My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. ²¹ For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. ²² Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons. ²³ O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. ²⁴ O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. ²⁵ Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

Jr 10 (Vulgate)

   ¹ [Audite verbum quod locutus est Dominus super vos, domus Israël.
   ² Hæc dicit Dominus :
Juxta vias gentium nolite discere,
et a signis cæli nolite metuere, quæ timent gentes,
   ³ quia leges populorum vanæ sunt.
Quia lignum de saltu præcidit opus manus artificis in ascia :
   ⁴ argento et auro decoravit illud :
clavis et malleis compegit, ut non dissolvatur :
   ⁵ in similitudinem palmæ fabricata sunt,
et non loquentur :
portata tollentur,
quia incedere non valent.
Nolite ergo timere ea,
quia nec male possunt facere, nec bene.
   ⁶ Non est similis tui, Domine :
magnus es tu,
et magnum nomen tuum in fortitudine.
   ⁷ Quis non timebit te, o Rex gentium ?
tuum est enim decus :
inter cunctos sapientes gentium,
et in universis regnis eorum,
nullus est similis tui.
   ⁸ Pariter insipientes et fatui probabuntur :
doctrina vanitatis eorum lignum est.
   ⁹ Argentum involutum de Tharsis affertur,
et aurum de Ophaz :
opus artificis et manus ærarii.
Hyacinthus et purpura indumentum eorum :
opus artificum universa hæc.
   ¹⁰ Dominus autem Deus verus est,
ipse Deus vivens,
et rex sempiternus.
Ab indignatione ejus commovebitur terra,
et non sustinebunt gentes comminationem ejus.
   ¹¹ Sic ergo dicetis eis :
Dii qui cælos et terram non fecerunt,
pereant de terra et de his quæ sub cælo sunt !
   ¹² Qui facit terram in fortitudine sua,
præparat orbem in sapientia sua,
et prudentia sua extendit cælos :
   ¹³ ad vocem suam dat multitudinem aquarum in cælo,
et elevat nebulas ab extremitatibus terræ :
fulgura in pluviam facit,
et educit ventum de thesauris suis.
   ¹⁴ Stultus factus est omnis homo a scientia :
confusus est artifex omnis in sculptili,
quoniam falsum est quod conflavit,
et non est spiritus in eis.
   ¹⁵ Vana sunt, et opus risu dignum :
in tempore visitationis suæ peribunt.
   ¹⁶ Non est his similis pars Jacob :
qui enim formavit omnia, ipse est,
et Israël virga hæreditatis ejus :
Dominus exercituum nomen illi.
   ¹⁷ Congrega de terra confusionem tuam,
quæ habitas in obsidione :
   ¹⁸ quia hæc dicit Dominus :
Ecce ego longe projiciam habitatores terræ in hac vice,
et tribulabo eos ita ut inveniantur.
   ¹⁹ Væ mihi super contritione mea :
pessima plaga mea.
Ego autem dixi :
Plane hæc infirmitas mea est, et portabo illam.
   ²⁰ Tabernaculum meum vastatum est ;
omnes funiculi mei dirupti sunt :
filii mei exierunt a me, et non subsistunt.
Non est qui extendat ultra tentorium meum,
et erigat pelles meas.
   ²¹ Quia stulte egerunt pastores,
et Dominum non quæsierunt :
propterea non intellexerunt,
et omnis grex eorum dispersus est.
   ²² Vox auditionis ecce venit,
et commotio magna de terra aquilonis :
ut ponat civitates Juda solitudinem,
et habitaculum draconum.
   ²³ Scio, Domine,
quia non est hominis via ejus,
nec viri est ut ambulet,
et dirigat gressus suos.
   ²⁴ Corripe me, Domine, verumtamen in judicio,
et non in furore tuo, ne forte ad nihilum redigas me.
   ²⁵ Effunde indignationem tuam super gentes quæ non cognoverunt te,
et super provincias quæ nomen tuum non invocaverunt :
quia comederunt Jacob, et devoraverunt eum,
et consumpserunt illum, et decus ejus dissipaverunt.]
