Commentary on Jeremiah (with Baruch and Lamentations) 0.1–2.36

Summary: Theodoret explains why he writes and sets out the historical setting and main contents of Jeremiah's prophecy.

• Preface. Some words are lost after "First, however," (probably "I must state"); marked "…". The Greek names Josiah's father Ἀμώς (Amos), the Septuagint form of Amon; likewise "Ἀμώς" in 1:2. "Ἀνάστασιν" (literally "removal, uprooting") is rendered "overthrow". Debris from Migne's parallel Latin column, read by the OCR as Greek letters, has been removed. The forty-two years run from Josiah's thirteenth year to the fall of Jerusalem under Zedekiah; the New Covenant is that of Jer 31:31–34.

Summary: Jeremiah, priest by birth and prophet by gift, was known and set apart by God before birth to prophesy to Judah and the nations.

• Numerals in the text (1, 2, 4–5) are the verse numbers of the lemmas. In 1:2 the scan reads only "…κάτου" for "thirteenth" (τρισκαιδεκάτου); the year is given in full in the preface. The lemma of 1:5 is broken by debris in the scan; "I have appointed you a prophet to the nations" is partly lost ("χά σε") and translated from the evident Septuagint wording. Verse 3 is not quoted. Migne's Latin column and marginal references, read by the OCR as Greek letters, have been removed.

Summary: Jeremiah addresses God as "he who is" and pleads his youth; God tells him not to use it as an excuse.

• The lemma of 1:7 is not preserved. A line belonging to the comment on the rod of 1:11 stands in the middle of this section in the scan ("for both this one and that one named it the rod; and the Master told him what was seen"); it is left in the Greek and translated only here. Migne's footnotes, which print variant readings and an addition on 1:3 found in two manuscripts (B, A), have been removed, as has the debris of his Latin column. "Ὁ ὤν" ("he who is") is the Septuagint form of the divine name in Exod 3:14.

Summary: God promises to be with Jeremiah as with Moses and the apostles, puts his words in his mouth, and shows him the rod and the boiling cauldron from the north.

• Lines of the column are lost in the scan in the comment on 1:11–12 (after "what"; the next words begin mid-word, "[watchful]ness"), in 1:14 (after "the fire"; probably "the Babylonian") and in 1:15 (the end of "Then …" and the word "kingdoms" of the lemma); marked "…". Part of the comment on the rod is displaced into 1.6 and the lemma of 1:12 ("You have seen well, for I am watchful over…") into 1.16 in the scan. "The Syrian" is the Syriac version; the Hebrew has "almond" (a wordplay on "watching"), the Septuagint "walnut" (καρυΐνη). Migne's footnotes (variant readings, one quoting the lemma of 1:11 from manuscript B) have been removed. The quotations of Exod 3:11–12 and Matt 28:19–20 are free.

Summary: Judah's idolatry deserves punishment, and God makes Jeremiah an invincible fortified city against kings, priests, and people.

• A displaced fragment of the lemma of 1:12 ("You have seen well, for I am watchful over"), set in the middle of the word "to set up" by the scan, has been removed with the surrounding Latin debris; its comment is in 1.8. Migne's footnotes at the end of the section (variant readings of 1:14–18) have been removed.

Summary: God recalls Israel's youth at the exodus, and Theodoret reads "the love of your perfection" as irony, citing Psalm 78.

• The lemma is the Septuagint of Jer 2:2 ("the mercy of your youth … when you followed the Holy One of Israel"). Theodoret's remark that the Jews never had perfect love for God is translated as written; it is his reading of the irony he finds in the verse. The quotation is Ps 78:36–37 (LXX 77:36–37).

Summary: God, who chose Israel as his firstborn and portion, asks like an accused party what wrong the fathers found in him, since he led and fed them and gave them the land.

• Quotations: Deut 32:9; Exod 4:22; Hos 9:10; 2 Kgs 19:10 (Isa 37:10). The lemmas are Jer 2:3 and 2:5; 2:6–7 are paraphrased (the Septuagint of 2:7 reads "into Carmel"). A verb is lost after "you did not" (perhaps "acknowledge"), marked "…". "The whole people" renders a damaged word (τῷ ἐ…, probably τῷ ἔθνει or a similar noun). Debris from Migne's Latin column has been removed.

Summary: Priests, teachers, kings, and prophets of Judah led the apostasy; no nation changes its gods, yet Judah forsook God and sought help from Egypt and Assyria, and was handed over to them.

• The column is badly damaged: words are lost after "the first to" (probably "transgress"), in the lemma of 2:8 ("by Baal"), after "the God of" and in the lemmas of 2:9–15, after "through these", and in the lemma of 2:16 ("the sons of Memphis and Tahpanhes have known you"); all marked "…". "Gods that are not gods" (2:11) appears as a comment beside the lemma of 2:8. The comment on 2:10–15 is a paraphrase (Kittim and Kedar, 2:10; lions, 2:15). The Egyptians' plagues and the Red Sea: Exod 7–14. The closing remark on those who crucified Jesus (John 19:15) is Theodoret's own, translated as written. Debris of Migne's Latin column and marginal references has been removed.

Summary: Judah denies its idolatry though its child sacrifices are plain; it chased idols and false prophets, turned its back on God, yet cries to him in trouble.

• Lines are lost in the scan after "after my captivity" (Jer 31:19, LXX 38:19), after "through the great Moses he says" (the lemma that follows is Jer 2:24, not a text of Moses, so the quotation of Moses is lost), after "often", and in the paraphrase of 2:26 ("they were likened … blushing"); all marked "…". "He called the idols waters of the desert" translates a garbled line by its evident sense. "Burial ground" renders πολυάνδριον (Septuagint of 2:23); child sacrifice in the valley of Hinnom: Jer 7:31. A long stretch of Migne's footnotes, printing variant readings and scholia from manuscript B, has been removed.

Summary: Judah's many gods cannot save it; though God both blessed and disciplined his people, they ran from him, forgetting him as no bride forgets her ornaments.

• The comment breaks off after "the one called"; lines are lost there and after "He reminds them also of the" (probably "punishments brought on them"); marked "…". A footnote of Migne, printing an addition found in manuscript B to "I handed over to slaughter" (a scholion naming Elijah, Jehu and Josiah as those who killed the false prophets), has been removed with the rest of the apparatus.

Summary: Judah shed innocent blood in child sacrifice, as Psalm 106 says, and did it openly on every hill and under every tree.

• The quotation is Ps 106:37–38 (LXX 105:37–38). The lemma "not in tunnels … but upon every oak" is the Septuagint of 2:34. The end of the section is lost in the scan, marked "…".

Summary: As help from Assyria failed Judah, so will help from Egypt; Judah will go out mourning because it did not hope in God.

• Lines are lost in the scan in the lemmas of 2:36–37 ("as you were put to shame by Assyria. For from there too…") and at the end of the section; marked "…". "From the alliance" renders a damaged word (…ίας). A long stretch of Migne's footnotes (variant readings of 2:32–37, with scholia from manuscript B on Manasseh's bloodshed) has been removed with the debris of his Latin column.
