Matthew 27:25
The Lord was blaming this unholy outcry of theirs (Matthew 27:25) through Jeremiah’s voice: “I have abandoned my house; I have left my inheritance; <I have given my beloved soul into the hands of her enemies. My inheritance has become> to me like a lion in a thicket; she raised her voice against me; therefore I hated her.” (Jeremiah 12:7–8) Somewhere Hosea also spoke about the Jews’ unholiness: “Woe to them, for they leaped away from me; they are wretched, for they acted impiously against me. I redeemed them, but they spoke false things against me. Their rulers will fall by the sword through the lack of training of their tongue.” (Hosea 7:13–16)
Greek
Ταύτην αὐτῶν τὴν ἀνοσίαν καταβοὴν ᾐτιᾶτο λέγων ὁ κύριος διὰ φωνῆς Ἰερεμίου· "ἐγκαταλέλοιπα τὸν οἶκόν μου, ἀφῆκα τὴν κληρονο μίαν μου <ἔδωκα τὴν ἠγαπημένην ψυχήν μου εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτῆς. ἐγενήθη ἡ κληρονομία μου> ἐμοὶ ὡς λέων ἐν δρυμῷ· ἔδωκεν ἐπ' ἐμὲ τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῆς, διὰ τοῦτο ἐμίσησα αὐτήν". ἔφη δέ που περὶ τῆς τῶν Ἰου δαίων ἀνοσιότητος καὶ ὁ προφήτης Ὠσηέ· "οὐαὶ αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἀπεπή δησαν ἀπ' ἐμοῦ· δείλαιοί εἰσιν, ὅτι ἠσέβησαν εἰς ἐμέ· ἐγὼ δὲ ἐλυτρω σάμην αὐτούς, αὐτοὶ δὲ κατελάλησαν κατ' ἐμοῦ ψευδῆ. πεσοῦνται ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν δι' ἀπαιδευσίαν γλώττης αὐτῶν".
