9 Ngokuba benyukele e-Asiriyabezihambele njengezimbongolo zasendle;u-Efrayimi uyaqasha ngenkokhelo yothando.
10 Noma beqasha phakathi kwabezizwe,manje sengiyakubabutha,bakhululwe kancane emthwalweni wenkosi yezikhulu.
11 “Ngokuba u-Efrayimi wandisile ama-altare aba ngukona;ama-altare ayakuba ngukona kuye.
12 Noma ngimlobela imithetho yami kaningi,iyashaywa okungaziwayo.
13 Imihlatshelo yeminikelo yami bayihlaba,bayidle inyama,kepha uJehova akayenameli.Useyakhumbula ububi babo,abahambele ngezono zabo,babuyele eGibithe.
14 Ngokuba u-Israyeli ukhohliwe uMdali wakhe,wakha izindlu zamakhosi,noJuda wandisile imizi ebiyelweyo,ngiyakuthuma umlilo emizini yakhe,uqede izindlu zayo zobukhosi.”
