Dialogue with Trypho 16.5 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:76–78

Διὸ καὶ ἐμβοᾷ ὑμῖν ὁ θεὸς διὰ τοῦ Ἡσαΐου λέγων· Ἴδετε ὡς ὁ δίκαιος ἀπώλετο, καὶ οὐδεὶς κατανοεῖ. Ἀπὸ γὰρ προσώπου τῆς ἀδικίας ἦρται ὁ δίκαιος. Ἔσται ἐν εἰρήνῃ· ἡ ταφὴ αὐτοῦ ᾖρται ἐκ τοῦ μέσου. Ὑμεῖς προσηγάγετε ὧδε, υἱοὶ ἄνομοι, σπέρμα μοιχῶν καὶ τέκνα πόρνης. Ἐν τίνι ἐνετρυφᾶτε καὶ ἐπὶ τίνα ἠνοίξατε τὸ στόμα καὶ ἐπὶ τίνι ἐχαλάσατε τὴν γλῶσσαν;

English · Claude translation

“Therefore God cries to you through Isaiah, saying: ‘See how the righteous one has perished, and no one considers it. For the righteous one has been taken away from the presence of injustice. He shall be in peace; his burial has been taken away from the midst. Come here, you lawless sons, seed of adulterers and children of a harlot. In whom have you delighted, and against whom have you opened your mouth, and against whom have you loosed your tongue?’”
