7. Kuwe, Jerusalem, abantwana ababenzeli imbeko ooyise noonina. Bayacinezelwa abangeneleli; ziphathwa kakubi iinkedama nabahlolokazi.
8. Zideliwe izinto ezinikelwe kum, yaxajelwa *iMihla yam yokuPhumla.
9. Apho kuwe kunyakazela amadoda anolwimi, azimisele ukuphalaza igazi; apho kuwe kuhlala abantu abadla kwizibingelelo zasezintabeni, benze neentlondi.
10. Apho kuwe kuhlala amadoda alala nabafazi booyise, alala nabafazi abasexesheni, benomlaza ke ngoko.
11. Apho kuwe kuhlala amadoda alala nabafazi babamelwane, noomolokazana bawo, noodade bawo ngokooyise.
12. Apho kuwe kukho amadoda athengwayo ukuba abulale; kukho abadlela abanye ngokubabiza ingeniselo egqithileyo abamelwane ababolekise ngemali kubo. Mna undilibele, itsho iNkosi uNdikhoyo.

14. Ngaba uya kuba naso na isibindi kwanamandla mhla sahlangana? Nditshilo nje mna Ndikhoyo nditshilo, ndiya kuyenza loo nto.
15. Ndiya kukusarhaza phakathi kweentlanga, utsho uphalale kwamanye amazwe; kunjalo nje ndiza kuwuphelisa umlaza onawo.
16. Zakukubona uxabhelekile ezinye izizwe uya kutsho uqonde ukuba ndinguNdikhoyo.”
17. Ndeva ilizwi likaNdikhoyo lisithi:
18. “Mntundini, indlu kaSirayeli xa iyonke kum seyinjengentlenge yobhedu, nenkcenkce, nesinyithi, nelothe. Ewe, injengentlenge yesiliva esele kwiziko lokunyibilikisa.
19. Ke ngoko itsho iNgangalala uNdikhoyo ukuthi: Njengoko niyintlenge ndiza kunibutha nonke, ndinibuthele eJerusalem.
20. Ndiya kuxelisa amadoda xa ebutha isiliva, nobhedu, nesinyithi, nelothe, nenkcenkce, aze aziphose kwiziko lokunyibilikisa, awuvuthele umlilo. Nam emsindweni wam nakwingqumbo yam ndiya kuniphosa esixekweni, ndininyibilikise.
21. Ndiya kunibutha ndinivuthele ngomsindo wam ovuthayo, ninyibilikele eJerusalem.
22. Niya kunyibilikela kuyo nixele isiliva inyibilikela eziko. Xa kunjalo ke niya kwazi ukuba mna Ndikhoyo ndiwukhuphele kuni umsindo wam.”
