19 1“Wena-ke, phakamisa isililo ngezikhulu zakwa-Israyeli, 2uthi: Wayeyini unyoko? Wayeyibhubesikazi. Wayelala phakathi kwamabhubesi, wakhulisa imidlwane yakhe phakathi kwamabhubesi amancane. a a v2 Ibhubesikazi liyindlu yobukhosi yakwaJuda, imidlwane yalo ingamakhosi alo — lesi sahluko sonke siyingoma yokulila efanekisa ukuwa kwababusi bokugcina bakwaJuda. 3Wakhulisa omunye wemidlwane yakhe, waba yibhubesi elisakhula. Wafunda ukudwengula impango; wadla abantu. 4Izizwe zezwa ngaye; wabanjwa emgodini wazo, bamhudula bamusa ngezingwegwe ezweni laseGibhithe. 5Wathi ebona ukuthi wayelinde ize, ukuthi ithemba lakhe laliphelile, wathatha omunye wemidlwane yakhe, wamenza ibhubesi elisakhula. 6Wazulazula phakathi kwamabhubesi; waba yibhubesi elisakhula. Wafunda ukudwengula impango; wadla abantu. 7Wadiliza izinqaba zazo, wachitha imizi yazo. Izwe nabo bonke abahlala kulo bethuka ngenxa yomsindo wokubhonga kwakhe. 8Zase zimhlasela izizwe zivela kuzo zonke izifundazwe ezizungezile; zendlala inetha lazo phezu kwakhe, wabanjwa emgodini wazo. 9Ngezingwegwe zamfaka ekhejini zamusa enkosini yaseBhabhiloni. Zamngenisa ezinqabeni, ukuze izwi lakhe lingaphinde lizwakale ezintabeni zakwa-Israyeli. 10Unyoko wayenjengomvini esivinini sakho, otshalwe ngasemanzini, uthela izithelo ugcwele amagatsha ngenxa yamanzi amaningi. 11Wawunamagatsha aqinile afanele izintonga zababusi. Wawuphakeme kakhulu phakathi kwamagatsha ashinyene, ubonakala ngokuphakama kwawo phakathi kobuningi bamagatsha awo. 12Kodwa wasiphulwa ngolaka waphonswa phansi; umoya wasempumalanga womisa izithelo zawo. Amagatsha awo aqinile ahlutshulwa abuna; umlilo wawaqeda. 13Manje usutshaliwe ehlane, ezweni elomileyo nelomele amanzi. 14Umlilo uqhume uphuma esiqwini sawo waqeda amagatsha awo nezithelo zawo, kangangokuba akusekho gatsha eliqinile elisele kuwo, kungekho ntonga yokubusa. Yilesi isililo, futhi sesibe yisililo.” b b v14 Umugqa wokuphetha usho ukuthi le nkondlo, eyabhalwa njengesiprofetho, manje isigcwalisekile futhi iculwa njengengoma yangempela yomngcwabo.
