Greek text · Archambault 2:2

τῆς γῆς, εἰς ἣν οὗτος εἰσπορεύεται εἰς αὐτήν, καὶ ἐγκαταλείψουσί με, καὶ διασκεδάσουσι τὴν διαθήκην μου, ἣν διεθέμην αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ. Καὶ καταλείψω αὐτοὺς καὶ ἀποστρέψω τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπʼ αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔσται κατάβρωμα, καὶ εὑρήσουσιν αὐτὸν κακὰ πολλὰ καὶ θλίψεις. Καὶ ἐρεῖ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· Διότι οὐκ ἔστι κύριος ὁ θεὸς μου ἐν ἡμῖν, εὕροσάν με τὰ κακὰ ταῦτα. Ἐγὼ δὲ ἀποστροφῇ ἀποστρέψω τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπʼ αὐτῶν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, διὰ πάσας τὰς κακίας ἃς ἐποίησαν, ὅτι ἐπέστρεψαν ἐπὶ θεοὺς ἀλλοτρίους.

English · Claude translation

“… of the land, into which this people is going; and they will forsake me and break my covenant which I made with them in that day. And I will forsake them and turn my face away from them; and they shall be devoured, and many evils and afflictions shall find them. And they shall say in that day: Because the Lord my God is not among us, these evils have found me. But I will surely turn my face away from them in that day because of all the evils they have done, because they turned to other gods.”
