UJeremiya 10

¹Zwana okutshiwo nguThixo kuwe, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli.

²UThixo uthi:

³Ngoba imikhuba yabantu iyize,

⁴Bayasicecisa ngesiliva langegolide,

⁵Njengezinto zokwethusa endimeni yamajodo,

⁶Kakho ofana lawe, wena Thixo,

⁷Ngubani ongeke akwesabe,

⁸Bonke kabalangqondo njalo bayizithutha,

⁹Isiliva esikhandiweyo siyalethwa sivela eThashishi

¹⁰Kodwa uThixo unguNkulunkulu oqotho,

¹¹“Batshele lokhu uthi, onkulunkulu laba, abangawenzanga amazulu lomhlaba, bazabhubha emhlabeni langaphansi kwamazulu.”

¹²Kodwa uNkulunkulu wenza umhlaba ngamandla akhe,

¹³Lapho evungama, amanzi asemazulwini ayahlokoma,

¹⁴Abantu bonke kabalangqondo njalo kabalalwazi,

¹⁵Ziyize, izinto zenhlekisa nje,

¹⁶Lowo oyiNgxenye kaJakhobe kafani lalaba,

¹⁷Qoqani impahla yenu ukuba lisuke elizweni,

¹⁸Ngoba uThixo uthi,

¹⁹Maye mina ngenxa yokulimala kwami!

²⁰Ithente lami lidiliziwe,

²¹Abelusi kabalangqondo

²²Lalelani! Umbiko uyeza,

²³Ngiyazi, Oh Thixo, ukuthi ukuphila komuntu akusikho kwakhe,

²⁴Ngiqondise Thixo, kodwa kube ngokulunga,

²⁵Yehlisela ulaka lwakho phezu kwezizwe
