16 Kodwa baqhubeka bebagculela+ abathunywa bakaTHIXO oyinyaniso bewadelela amazwi akhe+ bebenza intlekisa+ abaprofeti bakhe, de wafika umsindo+ kaYehova nxamnye nabantu bakhe, kwada akwabakho kuphiliswa.+

33 Kwaye wena ulilungisa+ ngokubhekisele kuko konke okusifikeleyo, kuba wena wenze ngokuthembeka,+ kodwa sithi abenze ngokungendawo.+

14 Bonke abo bakuthanda kakhulu ngabo kanye abakulibeleyo.+ Abafuni wena. Kuba ndikubethe ngokubethwa kotshaba,+ ngokubethwa kwalowo ukhohlakeleyo,+ ngenxa yobuninzi beziphoso zakho;+ izono zakho zininzi.+

17 Waza wahlabela mgama wathi kum: “Ukubonile na oku, nyana womntu? Yinto elula ngolo hlobo na kwindlu kaYuda ukwenza izinto ezicekisekayo abazenzileyo apha, ukuba bazalise ilizwe ngogonyamelo+ nokuba bandicaphukise kwakhona, yaye basondeza ihlumelo empumlweni yam?

7 Wena, Yehova, unobulungisa, kodwa thina sigutyungelwe lihlazo ngayo le mini,+ thina namadoda akwaYuda, nabemi baseYerusalem, nabo bonke abakwaSirayeli, abo bakufuphi nabo bakude kuwo onke amazwe obasasazele kuwo ngenxa yokungathembeki kwabo abenze ngako nxamnye nawe.+

16 Owu Yehova, ngokwezenzo zakho zonke zobulungisa,+ ngamana ungabuya umsindo wakho nobushushu bakho kwisixeko sakho iYerusalem, intaba yakho engcwele;+ kuba, ngenxa yezono zethu nangenxa yeziphoso zookhokho bethu,+ iYerusalem nabantu bakho basisingcikivo kubo bonke abo basijikelezileyo.+
