Irmos: The abyss of my sins and the tempest of my transgressions discomfit me and thrust me down into the depths of violent despondency; but stretch forth Thy mighty arm unto me, as Thou didst to Peter, and save my, O my Guide.
Kontakion, In Tone III: Spec. Mel.: “Today the Virgin…”—
Thou didst draw down enlightenment and grace in abundance, O God-bearer, spiritually enlarging the mouth of thy soul; and filled therewith, O prophet, thou hast bestowed them freely upon all who desire effulgence.
Theotokion: The Word Who was begotten incorporeally of the Father before time began, O pure one, was born of thee in the flesh, within time; and we all live in His shadow, as Jeremiah prophesied of old.
Gazing upon the sea of this world raging with the threefold billows of temptations, thou didst desire the outermost courts and a well-spring pouring forth a river of tears to lament the apostasy of thy people.
As a mystery thou didst recount beforehand the death of the Deliverer, O divinely eloquent one, for the iniquitous assembly of the Jews lifted Christ up upon the Tree like a lamb, the Author of life, the Benefactor of all creation.
Having cleansed thy radiant heart with the Spirit, O glorious Jeremiah, great prophet and martyr, thou didst receive from on high the gift of prophecy and didst cry aloud among the lands: “Behold our God! There is none other to compare with Him, Who hath appeared, incarnate, on the earth!”
