17 Ndidzamwazamwaza iwo monga ndi mphepo ya kum'mawa pamaso pa adani; ndidzayang'anira pamsana pao, si nkhope yao, tsiku la tsoka lao.
18 Ndipo iwo anati, Tiyeni, tilingalire Yeremiya comcitira coipa; pakuti cilamulo sicidzathera wansembe, kapena uphungu wanzeru, kapena mau mneneri. Tiyeni, timpande iye ndi lilime, tisamvere iye mau ace ali onse.
19 Mundimvere ine, Yehova, mumve mau a iwo akulimbana ndi ine.
20 Kodi coipa cibwezedwe pa cabwino? pakuti akumbira moyo wanga dzenje, Mukumbukire kuti ndinaima pamaso panu kuwanenera zabwino, kuwacotsera iwo ukali wanu.
21 Cifukwa cace mupereke ana ao kunjala, mupereke iwo ku mphamvu ya lupanga; akazi ao akhale opanda ana, ndi amasiye; amuna ao aphedwe ndi imfa, ndi anyamata ao apandidwe ndi lupanga kunkhondo.
22 Mpfuu umvekedwe m'nyumba zao, pamene muwatengera khamu la nkhondo dzidzidzi; pakuti akumba dzenje lakundigwira ine, anabisira mapazi anga misampha.
23 Koma, Yehova, mudziwa uphungu wao wonse wakundinenera ine kundipha ine; musakhulukire mphulupulu yao, musafafanize cimo lao pamaso panu; apunthwitsidwe pamaso panu; mucite nao m'nthawi ya mkwiyo wanu.
