Greek text · Archambault 2:230–232

Ηὐλαβεῖσθε γὰρ ἂν τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ ὀργήν, καὶ υἱοὶ ἄνομοι καὶ ῥεμβεύοντες οὐκ ἂν ἦτε, δυσωπούμενοι ἀκούειν ἑκάστοτε λέγοντος αὐτοῦ· Υἱοί, οἷς οὐκ ἔστι πίστις ἐν αὐτοῖς· καί· Τίς τυφλὸς ἀλλʼ ἢ οἱ παῖδές μου, καὶ κωφὸς ἀλλʼ ἢ οἱ κυριεύοντες αὐτῶν; Καὶ ἐτυφλώθησαν οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ θεοῦ. Εἴδετε πολλάκις, καὶ οὐκ ἐφυλάξασθε· ἀνεῳγμένα τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατε;

English · Claude translation

“For you would have feared the wrath of God, and would not be lawless and wandering sons, being shamed at hearing him say each time: ‘Sons in whom there is no faith’; and, ‘Who is blind but my servants, and deaf but those who rule over them? And the servants of God have become blind. You have seen often, and have not kept watch; your ears are open, and you have not heard.’
