47:9	—	καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτοῖς Γοδολιας καὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσιν αὐτῶν λέγων μὴ φοβηθῆτε ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν παίδων τῶν Χαλδαίων κατοικήσατε ἐν τῇ γῇ καὶ ἐργάσασθε τῷ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος καὶ βέλτιον ἔσται ὑμῖν	—	—	And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying: Do not fear before the face of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be better for you.
47:10	—	καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ κάθημαι ἐναντίον ὑμῶν εἰς Μασσηφα στῆναι κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν Χαλδαίων οἳ ἂν ἔλθωσιν ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς καὶ ὑμεῖς συναγάγετε οἶνον καὶ ὀπώραν καὶ συναγάγετε ἔλαιον καὶ βάλετε εἰς τὰ ἀγγεῖα ὑμῶν καὶ οἰκήσατε ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αἷς κατεκρατήσατε	—	—	And behold, I dwell before you at Massepha, to stand before the face of the Chaldeans who may come against you. But as for you, gather wine and summer fruit, and gather oil, and put them into your vessels, and dwell in the cities which you have taken possession of.
47:11	—	καὶ πάντες οἱ Ιουδαῖοι οἱ ἐν γῇ Μωαβ καὶ ἐν υἱοῖς Αμμων καὶ οἱ ἐν τῇ Ιδουμαίᾳ καὶ οἱ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ ἤκουσαν ὅτι ἔδωκεν βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος κατάλειμμα τῷ Ιουδα καὶ ὅτι κατέστησεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς τὸν Γοδολιαν υἱὸν Αχικαμ	—	—	And all the Judeans who were in the land of Moab and among the sons of Ammon and those in Idumea and those in all the land heard that the king of Babylon had given a remnant to Judah, and that he had appointed over them Godolias son of Achikam.
47:12	—	καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς Γοδολιαν εἰς γῆν Ιουδα εἰς Μασσηφα καὶ συνήγαγον οἶνον καὶ ὀπώραν πολλὴν σφόδρα καὶ ἔλαιον	—	—	And they came to Godolias into the land of Judah, to Massepha, and gathered wine and very much summer fruit and oil.

But Godolias did not believe them.
47:15	—	καὶ Ιωαναν εἶπεν τῷ Γοδολια κρυφαίως ἐν Μασσηφα πορεύσομαι δὴ καὶ πατάξω τὸν Ισμαηλ καὶ μηθεὶς γνώτω μὴ πατάξῃ σου ψυχὴν καὶ διασπαρῇ πᾶς Ιουδα οἱ συνηγμένοι πρὸς σὲ καὶ ἀπολοῦνται οἱ κατάλοιποι Ιουδα	—	—	And Ioanan said to Godolias secretly in Massepha: Let me go and strike down Ismael, and let no one know it — lest he strike down your soul, and all Judah who are gathered to you be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish.
47:16	—	καὶ εἶπεν Γοδολιας πρὸς Ιωαναν μὴ ποιήσῃς τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο ὅτι ψευδῆ σὺ λέγεις περὶ Ισμαηλ	—	—	And Godolias said to Ioanan: Do not do this thing, for what you say about Ismael is false.
