Letter of Jeremiah 1:18
Thomson 1808
not in this edition
Brenton 1851
And as the doors are made sure on every side upon him that offendeth the king, as being committed to suffer death; even so the priests make fast their temples with doors, with locks, and bars, lest their gods be spoiled with robbers.
Greek · Brenton
Καὶ ὥσπερ τινὶ ἠδικηκότι βασιλέα, περιπεφραγμέναι εἰσὶν αἱ αὐλαὶ, ὡς ἐπὶ θανάτῳ ἀπηγμένῳ· τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν ὀχυροῦσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς θυρώμασί τε καὶ κλείθροις καὶ μοχλοῖς, ὅπως ὑπὸ τῶν λῃστῶν μὴ συληθῶσι.
