9 Yaye wayitshisa indlu kaYehova+ nendlu kakumkani+ nazo zonke izindlu zaseYerusalem;+ nezindlu zawo onke amadoda abalaseleyo wazitshisa ngomlilo.+

17 Ngoko wanyusa nxamnye nabo ukumkani wamaKhaledi,+ owabulala abafana babo ngekrele+ endlwini yabo engcwele,+ akabanga namfesane ngamfana nangantombi inyulu, omdala okanye owalupheleyo.+ Yonk’ into wayinikela esandleni sakhe.

3 Ndandula ndathi kukumkani: “Phila ngonaphakade kumkani!+ Ndiya kuthini na ukungadakumbi ekubeni isixeko,+ indlu yendawo yokungcwaba ookhokho bam,+ iphanzisiwe, namasango aso edliwe agqitywa ngumlilo?”+

7 Ilizwe lenu lisisiphanziso,+ izixeko zenu zitshiswe ngomlilo;+ umhlaba wenu—udliwa ugqitywe ngabasemzini+ kanye phambi kwenu,+ yaye isiphanziso sinjengokubhukuqwa ngabasemzini.+

7 Unyuke njengengonyama iphuma entshinyeleni yayo,+ yaye lowo wonakalisa iintlanga undulukile;+ uphumile endaweni yakhe ukuze enze ilizwe lakho libe yinto ekhwankqisayo. Izixeko zakho ziya kuwa zibe ngamanxuwa, zingabi nabemi.+
