Kubantwana bakwaJosefa , okungukuthi kubantwana bakwa -Efrayimi, izizukulwane zabo ngemindeni yabo nangezindlu zawoyise njengokomumo wamagama, kusukela kwabaneminyaka engamashumi amabi li, bonke abangaphuma impi:

UJehova uyakukushaya emadolwen i akho nasemilenzeni ngamathumba amabi ongenakuphulukiswa kuwo , kusukela ematheni onyawo lwakho kuze kufike okhakhayini lwakho.

UJehowahazi wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabi li nantathu ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa , wabusa izinyanga ezintathu eJerusalema ; igama likan ina lalinguHamuthali, indodakazi kaJeremiya waseLibina.

UJehoyakimi wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabi li nanhlanu ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa , wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nanye eJerusalema ; wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

Wayesephuma uSathane ebusweni bukaJehova , wamshaya uJobe ngamathumba amabi, kusukela ematheni onyawo kuze kufike okhakhayini.

Thula ph ambi kukaJehova , ulindele yena ; ungakhathazeki ngonenhlanhla endleleni yakhe, ngomuntu osongoza amacebo amabi.

Amacebo amabi ayisinengiso kuJehova , kepha amazwi acwebileyo ayamenamisa.

Izikhali zomkhohlisi zimbi ; uhlela amacebo amabi , ukuze achithe izihlupheki ngamazwi amanga, nalapho ompofu ekhuluma ngokufaneleyo.

Elinye iqoma lalin amakhiwane amahle kakhulu , enjengamakhiwane ayingqalabutho; elinye iqoma lalinamakhiwane amabi kakhulu , engenakudliwa ngobubi bawo.

Kepha njengamakhiwane amabi engenakudliwa ngobubi bawo , impela kanjalo, usho kanje uJehova , ngiyakwenza kuSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda , nasezikhulwini zakhe , nakuyo insali yaseJerusalema , abasele kuleli zwe nabakhile ezweni laseGibithe.

yebo, usho uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: Bhekani, ngiyakuthuma kubo inkemba, nendlala, nesifo, ngibenze babe njengamakhiwane amabi angenakudliwa ngobubi bawo.

UMoya wangiphakamisa , wangiyisa esangweni lendlu kaJehova lasempumalanga, elibhekene nempumalanga; bheka, ngasesivalweni sesango kwakukhona amadoda angamashumi amabi li nanhlanu ; ngabona phakathi kwawo uJahazaniya indodana ka -Azuri noPhelathiya indodana kaBenaya , izikhulu zabantu.

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku kuvele izinto enhliziyweni yakho, ucebe amacebo amabi.

Ngalokho uma ngiza , ngiyakumkhumbuza imisebenzi yakhe ayenzayo , esihleba ngamazwi amabi ; futhi enganelisiwe nayilokho akabamukeli abazalwane yena, nabavumayo uyabanqabela, abakhiphe ebandleni.
