22 Esandleni sakhe sokunene isihlabo sihlabe iYerusalem, ukuze kumiswe izinto zokutyhomfa, uhlatywe umkhosi wokubulala, kuphakanyiswe izwi lokuduma, kumiswe izinto zokutyhomfa emasangweni, kufunjwe udonga lokungqinga, kwakhiwe iinqaba zokubonisela.
23 Soba njengesihlabo esikhohlakeleyo kubo emehlweni abo, bafungelwe izifungo bona; ke yena wokhumbuza ubugwenxa, ukuze baxhakamfulwe.
24 Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa yokukhumbuza kwenu ubugwenxa benu, ekutyhilekeni kwezikreqo zenu, ukuze zibonakale izono zenu ezintlondini zenu zonke; ngenxa yokukhunjulwa kwenu, niya kuxhakamfulwa ngesandla.
25 Wena ke, mbulawa ungendawo, sikhulu sakwaSirayeli, umini yakho ifikileyo ngexesha lobugwenxa bokuphela, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi,
26 Luya kususwa unkontsho, sithulwe nesithsaba; oko koko, namhla kunamhla; okuthobekileyo kuya kuphakanyiswa, okuphakamileyo kuya kuthotywa.
27 Ndiya kukuphenula ndikuphenule, ndikuphenule; kwanako oko akuyi kuba kuko, koda kufike lowo kukokwakhe ukugweba; ndikùnike yena.
28 Wena ke, nyana womntu, profeta uthi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ngokusingisele koonyana baka-Amon, ngokusingisele kungcikivo lwabo, ukuthi, Ikrele, ikrele lirholelwe ukuba libulale; likhazimlisiwe ukuba lidle, ukuba libe njengombane.
