10 Lonke izwe liyakuphenduka ithafa kusukela eGeba kuze kube seRimoni ngaseningizimu kwaseJerusalema; liyakuphakanyiswa, lihlale endaweni yalo, kusukela eSangweni likaBenjamini kuze kube sendaweni yesango lakuqala, kuze kube seSangweni Lasegumbini, kusukela eMbhoshongweni kaHananeli kuze kube sesikhamweni sewayini senkosi.
11 Kuyakuhlalwa kulo, kungabe kusabakho siqalekiso, kepha iJerusalema liyakuhlala ngokulondeka.
12 Yikho okuyakuba ngukushaya uJehova ayakushaya ngakho bonke abantu abalwe neJerusalema: inyama yabo iyakudleka besemi ngezinyawo zabo, namehlo abo ayakuphelela ezikhoxeni zawo, ulimi lwabo ludleke emlonyeni wabo.
13 Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku kube phakathi kwabo isidumo esikhulu esivela kuJehova, babambe, kube yilowo nalowo isandla somakhelwane wakhe, isandla sakhe sivukele isandla somakhelwane wakhe.
14 NoJuda uyakulwa eJerusalema, kubuthwe ingcebo yazo zonke izizwe ezizungezileyo, igolide, nesiliva, nezambatho, kube kuningi kakhulu.
15 Kuyakuba njalo ukushaywa kwamahhashi, neminyuzi,* namakamela nezimbongolo, nazo zonke izilwane, okuyakuba khona kulawo makamu,* njengalokho kushaywa.
16 Kuyakuthi bonke abaseleyo ezizweni zonke ezazilifikela iJerusalema bakhuphuke iminyaka ngeminyaka ukukhuleka eNkosini uJehova Sebawoti nokugubha umkhosi wamadokodo.
