14 Agciniwe amazwi kaYonadabhi, unyana kaRekabhi, awabawisela oonyana bakhe ukuba bangaseli wayini; àbaseli unanamhla, bawuphulaphula ke umthetho kayise. Ke mna ndathetha kuni, ndithetha, ndivuka kusasa; anindiphulaphulanga.
15 Ndabathumela kuni bonke abakhonzi bam, abaprofeti, ndibathuma, ndivuka kusasa, ndisithi, Khanibuye, elowo endleleni yakhe embi, nilungise iintlondi zenu, ningalandeli thixo bambi, ukuze nibakhonze; nòhlala ke emhlabeni endawunika nina nooyihlo. Ke anizithobanga iindlebe zenu, anindiphulaphulanga.
16 Inene, oonyana bakaYonadabhi unyana kaRekabhi bawugcinile umthetho kayise, awabawiselayo; ke bona aba bantu abandiphulaphuli.
17 Ngako oko utsho uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiwazisela amaYuda nabemi bonke baseYerusalem bonke obu bubi ndathethayo ngabo; ngenxa yokuba ndathetha kubo, àbeva; ndababiza, àbasabela.
18 UYeremiya wathi kwindlu yamaRekabhi, Utsho uYehova wemikhosi, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba niwuphulaphule umthetho kaYonadabhi uyihlo, nayigcina yonke imithetho yakhe, nenza ngako konke awaniwisela umthetho ngako;
