4 Zaluseleni kuYehova, nisuse ukungaluki kwentliziyo yenu, madoda akwaYuda, bemi baseYerusalem; hleze buphume ubushushu bam njengomlilo, buvuthe kungabikho ucimayo, ngenxa yobubi beentlondi zenu.
5 Xelani kwaYuda, nivakalise eYerusalem, nithi, Vuthelani isigodlo elizweni; dandulukani, nithi, Hlanganisanani, singene emizini enqatyisiweyo.
6 Phakamisani ibhanile* ngaseZiyon, sabani, ningemi; kuba entla ndizisa ububi, nembubhiso enkulu.
7 Kunyuka ingonyama iphuma entshinyeleni yayo yehlathi, kunduluka umonakalisi weentlanga; úphuma endaweni yakhe, ukuze aliphanzise ilizwe lakho, imizi yakho yenzìwe imiwewe, ingabi nabemi.
8 Ngenxa yoko bhinqani ezirhwexayo, nimbambazele, nibhomboloze; ngokuba ukuvutha komsindo kaYehova akubuyanga kuthi.
9 Kothi ke ngaloo mini, utsho uYehova, iphele intliziyo yokumkani nentliziyo yabathetheli; bamangaliswe ababingeleli, bangàkhulumi abaprofeti.
10 Ndathi ke, Kwowu, Nkosi Yehova, inyaniso, ùbalukuhlile kakhulu aba bantu neYerusalem, usithi, Niya kuba noxolo; libe ikrele lide lafika emphefumlweni.
