4 UJehova waqhubeka wathi kuyo: “Dabula phakathi komuzi, phakathi kweJerusalema, ubeke uphawu emabunzini abantu ababubulayo futhi bequma+ ngenxa yazo zonke izinto ezinengekayo ezenziwa phakathi kwawo.”+

26 Bona kanye abapristi balo badlovule umthetho wami,+ futhi baqhubeka bengcolisa izindawo zami ezingcwele.+ Abenzanga mahluko+ phakathi kwento engcwele nento evamile,+ ababenzanga abantu bakwazi ukuhlukanisa phakathi kwento engcolile nento ehlanzekile,+ futhi bawafihlile amehlo abo emasabatheni ami,+ ngingcolisiwe phakathi kwabo.+

6 Abantu bami bayothuliswa nakanjani, ngoba akukho lwazi.+ Ngenxa yokuthi wena uye wenqaba lona kanye ulwazi,+ nami ngizokwenqaba ukuba ungabe usakhonza njengompristi kimi;+ ngenxa yokuthi futhi uqhubeka ukhohlwa umthetho kaNkulunkulu wakho,+ nami ngiyowakhohlwa amadodana akho, yebo mina.+

4 “Yilokhu uJehova akushilo, ‘Ngenxa yokuvukela okuthathu kukaJuda,+ nangenxa yokune, ngeke ngikubuyise engikunqumile, ngenxa yokwala kwakhe umthetho kaJehova,+ nangenxa yokuthi akazange azigcine iziqondiso zakhe; kodwa amanga akhe+ ababewalandele okhokho bakhe, aqhubeka emnhlanhlathisa.+
