Wabheka ngaseSodoma naseGomora nasezweni lonke lethafa , wabona, bheka, isisi sezwe senyuka njengomusi weziko.

UJehova uNkulunkulu wezulu owangikhipha endlini kababa nasezweni lokuzalwa kwami wakhuluma kimi , wafunga kimi , wathi: Ngiyakulinika inzalo yakho leli zwe ; uzakuthuma ingelosi yakhe phambi kwakho , ukuze ungitholele khona indodana yami umfazi.

UJosefa waqoqa yonke imali eyatholakala ezweni laseGibithe nasezweni laseKhanani ngamabele ababewathengile ; uJosefa wayiyisa imali endlini kaFaro.

Isiphelile imali ezweni laseGibithe nasezweni laseKhanani , bonke abaseGibithe beza kuJosefa , bathi: Siphe ukudla ; siyakufelani phambi kwakho na? Ngokuba isiphelile imali.

Wenze njalo uJehova ; kwangena uswebezane olwesabekayo lwezibawu endlini kaFaro , nasezindlini zezinceku zakhe , nasezweni lonke laseGibithe; izwe lachithwa ngenxa yezibawu.

Wayesemehlisa; bheka, babehlakazekile endaweni yonke , bedla, bephuza, besina phakathi kwayo yonke impango ababeyithathile ezweni lamaFilisti nasezweni lakwaJuda.

base befika kwaGileyadi nasezweni laseTahetimi Hodishi ; bafika naseDani Jahani nangaseSidoni,

nayo yonke imizi yokubekelela uSolomoni ayenayo , nemizi yezinqola zakhe, nemizi yabamahhashi bakhe , nalokhu uSolomoni ayefisa ukwakha khona eJerusalema, naseLebanoni, nasezweni lonke lapho ebusa khona.

kanye neBalati nayo yonke imizi yokubekelela uSolomoni ayenayo, nayo yonke imizi yezinqola zakhe , nemizi yabamahhashi bakhe , nakho konke uSolomoni ayefisa uku kwakha eJerusalema, naseLebanoni, nasezweni lonke lokubusa kwakhe.

Abakukhonzanga embusweni wabo , nasebuhleni bakho obukhulu owabanika bona, nasezweni elibanzi nelivundileyo owabapha lona ebusweni babo, ababuyanga emisebenzini yabo emibi.

Bayakufika bephuma emizini yakwaJuda, nasemaphandleni aseJerusalema, nasezweni lakwaBenjamini, nasehlanzeni, nasezintabeni, naseningizimu, beletha iminikelo yokushiswa , nemihlatshelo, neminikelo yempuphu , nenhlaka, befika neminikelo yokubonga endlini kaJehova.

Emizini yasezintabeni, nasemizini yasehlanzeni, nasemizini yaseningizimu, nasezweni lakwaBenjamini , nasemaphethelweni aseJerusalema , nasemizini yakwaJuda izimvu ziyakubuye zidlule phansi kwezandla zozibalayo , usho uJehova.

Izwi elafika kuJeremiya ngabaJuda bonke ababehlala ezweni laseGibithe , ababehlala eMigidoli , naseThahipanesi, naseNofi, nasezweni lasePhatirosi , lathi:

Wakhubekisa abaningi, yebo, bawa omunye phezu komunye, bathi: Sukani, sibuyele kubantu bakith i nasezweni lokuzalwa kwethu , sisuke enkembeni ecindezelayo.

Ukuthokoza nokujabula kususiw e ensimini nasezweni lakwaMowabi ; ngenze ukuba kuphele iwayini ezikhamweni ; akusayikunyathelwa ngokujabula, ukumemeza akuseyikho ukumemeza.

Iyakungena nasezweni elihle , namanye amaningi ayakukhubeka , kepha lana ayakophulwa esandleni sayo : o-Edomi, noMowabi, nemvama yabantwana bakwa-Amoni.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Bhekani, ngiyakusindisa abantu bami ezweni lasempumalanga nasezweni lasentshonalanga,

Seliqala ukushona, beza kuye abayishumi nambili , bathi: Bamukise abantu ukuba baye emizaneni nasezweni elizungezileyo , bangenise, bathole ukudla, ngokuba lapha sisendaweni eyihlane.

naseFrigiya, nasePhamfiliya, naseGibithe, nasezweni laseLibiya ngaseKhurene, nezihambi zaseRoma,

bathi sebekwazi lokho, babalekela emizini yaseLikawoniya, iListra neDerbe, nasezweni langakhona,
