Wahlaba, washisa impepho ezindaweni ez iphakemeyo, nasemagqumeni, naphansi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza.

UJehova wathuma ingelosi eyanquma onke amaqhawe anamandla , nabaholi, nezinduna ekamu lenkosi yase -Asiriya. Yayisibuyela ez weni layo ijabhile. Isingenile endlini kankulunkulu wayo , ababephume ezibilinini zayo bayibulala khona ngenkemba.

Wenza nolwandle olubunjiweyo ; lwaluyizingalo eziyishumi kusukela kolunye udini kuze kufike kolunye , lwaluyisiyingilizi; ukuphakama kwalo kwakuyizingalo ez iyisihlanu; umucu oyizingalo ezingamashumi amathathu waluzungeza nxazonke.

Yilonde inceku yakho nasezonweni ez ihlazisayo; mazingabusi phezu kwami. Yikhona ngiyakube ngiphelele , ngingabe ngisaba necala eziphambekweni ezinkulu.

uye ez weni elichichima ubisi nezinyosi . Angiyikukhuphuka ngiphakathi kwenu, lokhu ningabantu abantamo ilukhuni, funa nginiqede endleleni.

UJakobe wahlala ez weni laseGibithe iminyaka eyishumi nesikhombisa; izinsuku zikaJakobe, iminyaka yokuhamba kwakhe , zaziyiminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amane nesikhombisa.

Bayakuhlala ez weni engilinike inceku yami uJakobe , ababehlala kulo oyihlo; bayakuhlala kulo, bona nabantwana babo , nabantwana babantwana babo kuze kube phakade, uDavide inceku yami abe yisikhulu sabo kuze kube phakade.

Izinkulungwane eziyisihlanu ez isele ebubanzini nezinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu zasebudeni ziyakuba ngezokungengcwele , zibe ngezomuzi, ezokwakha nezamadlelo, umuzi ube phakathi nazo.

Ngiyakuthatha insali yakwaJuda ebhekise ubuso bayo ukuba ingene ezweni laseGibithe ukuba igogobale khona , baphele bonke , bawe ez weni laseGibithe, baphele ngenkemba nangendlala , abakhulu nabancane bafe ngenkemba nangendlala , babe yisithuko , nesimangaliso, nesiqalekiso, nehlazo.

Besiyakuliphilisa iBabele, kepha aliphiliswanga; lishiyeni, masihambe siye, kube yilowo nalowo ez weni lakubo , ngokuba ukwahlulelwa kwalo kufinyelela ezulwini, kuphakanyisiwe nasemafwini.
