Yeremiya

47 Eli lilizwi likaYehova elafika kumprofeti uYeremiya lithetha ngamaFilisti+ ngaphambi kokuba uFaro axabele iGaza. 2 Uthi uYehova:

“Jonga! Amanzi ayeza evela ngasemntla.

Aza kuba ngumkhukula.

Aza kukhukulisa ilizwe nayo yonke into ekulo,

Isixeko nabemi baso.

Amadoda aza kukhala,

Wonke umntu ohlala kwelo lizwe uza kukhala kabuhlungu.

3 Xa kuvakala ukungqisha kweempuphu zeenkunzi zamahashe akhe,

Ukundlandlatheka kweenqwelo zakhe zokulwa

Nengxolo yamavili akhe,

Ootata abazukujika kwaukujika ukuyokusindisa oonyana babo,

Kuba izandla zabo ziwile,

4 Kuba imini ezayo iza kuwatshabalalisa onke amaFilisti;+

Ndiza kutshayela nabani na osindileyo obebancedisa eTire+ naseSidon.+

Kuba uYehova uza kuwatshabalalisa amaFilisti

Ashiyekileyo kwisiqithi saseKafetori.*+

5 IGaza iza kuba nenkqayi.*

IAshkelon bayivale umlomo.+

Nina bashiyekileyo basentlanjeni,*

Kuza kude kube nini nizisika emzimbeni?+

6 Yho! Krele likaYehova!+

Uza kuvakala kude kube nini?

Buyela kwisingxobo sakho.

Phumla uze uthi cwaka.

7 Lingathula njani

Ekubeni uYehova elinike umyalelo?

Apho lithunywe khona

KuseAshkelon nakunxweme lolwandle.”+
