14 Yihlambulule ububi intliziyo yakho, Yerusalem, ukuze usindiswe. Kunini na zilalisile phakathi kwakho iingcinga zakho zobutshinga?
15 Ngokuba ilizwi lixelile, liphuma kwaDan, livakalisa ububi ezintabeni zakwaEfrayim:
16 khankanyani ezintlangeni; yabonani, vakalisani eYerusalem, nithi, Abangqingi beza bevela ezweni elikude, belikhuphela ilizwi labo phezu kwemizi yakwaYuda.
17 Njengabalindi bamasimi bayichasa ngeenxa zonke; ngokuba ibineenkani kum, utsho uYehova.
18 Iindlela zakho neentlondi zakho zakwenzela oko. Zizinto zakho ezimbi ezo, inene zikrakra, inene zifike entliziyweni yakho.
19 Izibilini zam, izibilini zam! Ndiyazibhijabhija iingontsi zentliziyo yam! Iyaxokozela intliziyo yam, andinakuthi tu! Kuba ùsivile isandi sesigodlo, mphefumlo wam, ukuhlatywa komkhosi wemfazwe.
20 Kumenyezwa intshabalalo kantshabalalo, ngokuba libhuqiwe lonke ilizwe; zibhuqiwe ngesiquphe iintente zam; ngephanyazo, amalengalenga am.
