18 Ngoba namuhla ngikwenze waba yidolobha elinezivikelo eziqinile,

Insika yensimbi nezindonga zethusi ngokumelene nalo lonke leli zwe, +

Emakhosini akwaJuda nasezikhulwini zakhona,

Kubapristi bakhona nakubantu bezwe. +

19 Nakanjani bazolwa nawe,

Kodwa ngeke bakunqobe,

Ngoba ‘mina nginawe,’ + kusho uJehova, ‘ukuba ngikusindise.’ ”

Nakanjani siyolwa nawe,

Kodwa ngeke sikunqobe, *+

Ngoba nginawe, ukuze ngikusindise futhi ngikukhulule,” kusho uJehova.

 8 Kodwa mina ngigcwele amandla ngenxa yomoya kaJehova,

Ngigcwele nobulungisa nezikhwepha

Ukuze ngitshele uJakobe ukuvukela kwakhe no-Israyeli isono sakhe.
