Basho kuye , bathi: Qha, kepha siyakukubopha nokukubopha , sikunikele esandleni sawo , kodwa impela asiyikukubulala . Bambopha ngezintambo ezimbili ezintsha, bamkhuphulela edwaleni.

Washaya nabakwaMowabi , wabalinganisa ngentambo, wabalalisa emhlabathini, wabalinganisa ngezintambo ezimbili abayakubulawa nangentambo epheleleyo abayakusindiswa . AbakwaMowabi base beba yizinceku zikaDavide, bathela intela.

Wo kubona abadonsa ukona ngezintambo zamanga , nezono kungathi ngamagoda ezinqola,

Kwakukhona izilenge ezimhlophe neziluhlaza , ziboshelwe ngezintambo zelineni elicolekileyo nezibubende emasongweni esiliva nasezinsiken i zamatshe amhlophe ; imibhede yayiyigolide nesiliva phezu kwendawo egandaywe ngamatshe abomvu, nangamaparele, nangamatshe amnyama.

Uma beboshwa ngamaketanga, babanjwe ngezintambo zokuhlupheka,

Abazidlayo bangifihlela ugibe ; ngezintambo bendlala inetha ; eceleni kwendlela bangibekela izihibe. Sela

Omubi uyakubanjwa ngububi bakhe, abhajwe ngezintambo zezono zakhe.

Zase zimthatha uJeremiya , zamphonsa emgodini kaMalikhiya indodana yenkosi owawusegcekeni letilongo , bamehlisa uJeremiya ngezintambo . Emgodini kwakungekho manzi, udaka lodwa; uJeremiya washona odakeni.

U-Ebedi Meleki wabathatha abantu , wahamba nabo, waya endlini yenkosi phansi kwendlu yengcebo , wakhipha khona amadlephudlephu amadala namanikiniki abolileyo, wawehlisela kuJeremiya emgodini ngezintambo.

Base bemdonsa uJeremiya ngezintambo , bamkhipha emgodini; uJeremiya wahlala egcekeni letilongo. UJeremiya uhlangana ngasese noSedekiya

Ngabadonsa ngezintambo zomuntu , ngamagoda othando ; ngaba kubo njengophakamisa ijoka entanyeni yabo, ngagobela kubo, ngabanika ukudla.

Wayesenza inkalivasi ngezintambo , waxosha bonke ethempelini , nezimvu nezinkomo, wachitha imali yabashintshayo, wagumbuqela amatafula,

sebe sikhuphulile basebenzisa izinto zokusiza , bawuzongolozela umkhumbi ngezintambo; kuthe besaba ukuthi bazakukhahleleka eSirti , behlisa izindwangu zomkhumbi, baqhutshwa kanjalo.
