Greek text · Dindorf 4:465–466

τούτοις μὲν οὖν αὕτη χορεύει· οἴοις δὲ καὶ ὁ νυμφίος λόγος ὁ οὐράνιος, αὐτὸς Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς αὐτὴν ἀμείβεται, ἄκουε λέγοντος κυρίου “μὴ φοβοῦ ὅτι κατῃσχύνθης, μηδὲ ἐντραπῇς ὅτι ὠνειδίσθης· ὅτι αἰσχύνην αἰώνιον ἐπιλήσῃ, καὶ ὄνειδος τῆς χηρείας σου οὐ μὴ μνησθήσῃ. οὐχ ὡς γυναῖκα ἐγκαταλελειμμένην καὶ ὀλιγόψυχον κέκληκέ σε κύριος, οὐδʼ ὡς γυναῖκα ἐκ νεότητος μεμισημένην, εἶπεν ὁ θεός σου. χρόνον μικρὸν ἐγκατέλιπόν σε, καὶ ἐν ἐλέῳ μεγάλῳ ἐλεήσω σε· ἐν θυμῷ μικρῷ ἀπέστρεψα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἐν ἐλέῳ αἰωνίῳ ἐλεήσω σε, εἶπεν ὁ ῥυσάμενός σε κύριος.

English · Claude translation

With these words she dances. And with what words the Bridegroom, the heavenly Word, Jesus Christ himself, answers her, hear the Lord saying: “Do not fear because you were put to shame, nor be confounded because you were reproached; for you will forget your everlasting shame, and you will no longer remember the reproach of your widowhood. The Lord has not called you as a woman forsaken and faint-hearted, nor as a wife hated from her youth, says your God. For a little while I forsook you, and with great mercy I will have mercy on you; in a little wrath I turned my face from you, and with everlasting mercy I will have mercy on you, says the Lord who delivered you.
