14. Ndagqithela esangweni lomthombo, nasechibini lokumkani; akwabakho ndawo yokuba lithubeleze kuyo iqegu endandikhwele kulo.
15. Ndakhweza ke isihlambo ngobusuku, ndilolonga udonga, ndabuya ndangena ngesango lomfula; ndabuya ke.
16. Ke kaloku abaphathi babengazi apho ndandiye khona, nento endandiye kuyenza; bendingekawaxeleli amaYuda, nababingeleli, nabanumzana, nabaphathi, nabanye abenza umsebenzi.
17. Ndathi kubo, Niyabubona ububi esikubo, ukuba iYerusalem ilinxuwa, namasango ayo atshiswe ngomlilo; yizani, sakhe udonga lweYerusalem, singabi saba lungcikivo.
18. Ndabaxelela ukulunga kwesandla soThixo wam phezu kwam, namazwi okumkani awawathethayo kum. Bathi, Masisuke sakhe. Bazomeleza izandla zabo ukuwenza lo msebenzi ulungileyo.
19. Bathi ke ooSanebhalati waseHoron, noTobhiya umkhonzi, umAmon, noGeshem umArabhi, bakuyiva loo nto, basigculela, basidela, bathi, Yintoni na le nto niyenzayo? Niya kugwilika na kukumkani?
20. Ndabaphendula, ndathi kubo, UThixo wamazulu nguye oya kusiphumelelisa; thina bakhonzi bakhe siya kusuka sakhe; ke nina aninasabelo nalungelo nasikhumbuzo eYerusalem.
