45 “Iziqalekiso zonke lezi+ zizakwehlela phezu kwenu. Zizalixotshanisa zize zilifice, lize litshabalaliswe+ ngenxa yokuthi kalililalelanga ilizwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ngokugcina imithetho yakhe kanye lemilayo yakhe engilinika yona.+

12 Ngizakwenza abaseleyo bakoJuda ababezimisele ukuyahlala elizweni leGibhithe batshabalale eGibhithe.+ Bazabulawa ngenkemba, baqedwe layindlala. Bazakufa ngenkemba langendlala kusukela komncane kusiya komkhulu. Ngizabaqalekisa ngibehlisele umonakalo owesabekayo futhi bazathukwa babe lihlazo.+ 13 Labo abahlala elizweni leGibhithe ngizabajezisa njengoba nje ngajezisa iJerusalema. Ngizabajezisa ngenkemba langendlala langesifo esitshabalalisayo.+ 14 AbakoJuda abaseleyo abahamba bayahlala elizweni leGibhithe abasoze baphunyuke kumbe basinde babuyele elizweni lakoJuda. Bazafisa ukubuyela bayehlala khona kodwa abasoze babuyele, ngaphandle kwabalutshwana nje abazasinda.’”

27 Khathesi ngibakhangele ukuze ngibehlisele okubi hatshi okuhle.+ Bonke abantu bakoJuda abaselizweni leGibhithe bazatshabalala ngenkemba langendlala baze baphele.+ 28 Balutshwana abazaphunyuka abangasoze babulawe yinkemba futhi bazasuka elizweni leGibhithe babuyele elizweni lakoJuda.+ Lapho-ke bonke abakoJuda abaseleyo ababuya bazohlala elizweni leGibhithe bazakwazi ukuthi ngelikabani ilizwi eligcwalisekileyo, ukuthi ngelami kumbe ngelabo!”’”
