16. Yihlani ngomso niye kulwa nabo; nâbo benyuka ngeqhina leTsitsi; nobafumana ekupheleni kwesihlambo, phambi kwentlango yaseYeruweli.
17. Le yanamhla asiyeyenu; zimiseni nime, nilubone usindiso lukaYehova onáni, maYuda neYerusalem. Musani ukoyika, musani ukuqhiphuka umbilini. Phumani ngomso nibahlangabeze; uYehova unáni.

21. Uthe akucebisana nabantu, wamisa iimvumi zikaYehvoa zokudumisa, zivethe ezingcwele, eziya kuphuma zihambe phambi kwabaxhobileyo, zisithi, bulelani kuYehova, ngokuba ingunaphakade inceba yakhe.
22. Bathe bakuqala ukumemelela nokudumisa, uYehova wabafikisela abalaleli oonyana baka-Amon, nabakaMowabhi, nabasentabeni yakwaSehire, ababezé kumaYuda; babulawa.
