UJeremiya 6

¹“Balekani ukuze liphephe, bantu bakoBhenjamini!

²Indodakazi yaseZiyoni

³Abelusi lemihlambi yabo bazakuza bamelane layo;

⁴“Lungelani ukulwa layo!

⁵Ngakho vukani, kasihlaseleni ebusuku

⁶UThixo uSomandla uthi:

⁷Njengomthombo ugobhoza amanzi awo,

⁸Xwayiseka, we Jerusalema,

⁹UThixo uSomandla uthi:

¹⁰Ngubani engingakhuluma laye ngimxwayise na?

¹¹Kodwa mina ngiyafuthelana ngolaka lukaThixo,

¹²Izindlu zabo zizanikwa abanye,

¹³“Kusukela kwabancane kusiya kwabakhulu,

¹⁴Babopha inxeba labantu bami

¹⁵Bayayangeka na ngokuziphatha kwabo okwenyanyekayo?

¹⁶UThixo, uthi:

¹⁷Ngalibekela abantu bokulilinda ngathi,

¹⁸Ngakho zwanini, lina zizwe,

¹⁹Zwana, wena mhlaba,

²⁰Ngilani lempepha yaseShebha

²¹Ngakho uThixo uthi:

²²UThixo uthi:

²³Bahlome ngamadandili langemikhonto,

²⁴Sesizwe imibiko ngabo,

²⁵Lingayi phandle egangeni,

²⁶Awu bantu bami, gqokani amasaka,

²⁷“Ngikwenze umhloli wezinsimbi

²⁸Bonke bangabahlamuki abalukhuni,

²⁹Imvutho ivutha okwesabekayo
