2 Kepha ngiyakuthuma umlilo kwaMowabi,uqede izindlu zamakhosi zaseKeriyote,uMowabi afe ngokuxokozela,nangokumemeza,nangokukhala kwecilongo.
3 Ngiyakunquma umahluleli phakathi kwakhe,ngibulale zonke izikhulu zakhe kanye naye,” usho uJehova.
4 Usho kanje uJehova, uthi:“Ngenxa yeziphambeko ezintathu zakwaJuda,yebo, ngenxa yezine, angiyikuguquka,ngokuba bawulahlile umthetho kaJehova,abagcinanga izimiso zakhe,namanga abo abadukisile,abawalandelayo nawoyise.
5 Kepha ngiyakuthuma umlilo kwaJuda,uqede izindlu zamakhosi zaseJerusalema.”
