Et dixit Jeremias ad Paschur ita: vos autem omnibus diebus vestris repugnatis veritati cum patribus vestris et filiis vestris qui post vos venturi sunt. Ii autem peccatum facient magis reprobandum quam vos: ii vendent eum cujus nullum est pretium, et dolore afficient eum qui dolores sanaturus est, et condemnabunt eum qui peccatum remissurus est, et accipient triginta argenteos, pretium honorati, quem vendituri sunt filii Israelis, et dabunt istam pecuniam in agrum figuli. Sicut me jussit Dominus, ita loquor. Et propterea demittetur super eos judicium et perditio usque in aeternum et super filios eorum usque post eos, quia in judicio sanguinem innocentem effuderunt.|trans-quote=English: Prophecy of Jeremiah. And said Jeremiah to Pashur thus: All of your days, however, you resist the truth, as your fathers, and as your sons who after you will come. Yet, they will commit a far greater sin than you: they will sell him, whose price is naught, and pain will cause to him who is about to heal pains, and will condemn him who is about to remit sin, and will accept thirty silvers, the price of the honored one, whom the sons of Israel are about to sell, and will give this money in the field of the potter. As the Lord commanded me, so I speak. And therefore there will come down upon them judgment and perdition till in eternity, and upon their sons after them still, who in judgment innocent blood have shed.}}
