| 2. | Zithintithe uthuli; sukuma, uhlale phansi, wena Jerusalema: zikhulule kuzibopho ezisentanyeni yakho, wena ndodakazi ethunjiweyo yeZiyoni! |
| 3. | Ngoba itsho njalo i Nkosi: Lizithengisile ngeze; njalo lizahlengwa ngaphandle kwemali. |
| 4. | Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Abantu bami behlela eGibhithe esikhathini sendulo ukuhlala njengabezizwe khona, njalo amaAsiriya abacindezela ngaphandle kwesizatho. |
| 5. | Khathesi-ke, ngiseselani lapha, itsho i Nkosi, ukuthi abantu bami bathethwe ngeze? Labo abababusayo babenza baqhinqe isililo, itsho i Nkosi; lebizo lami liqhubeka nsukuzonke lihlanjazwa. |
| 6. | Ngakho abantu bami bazalazi ibizo lami, ngalolosuku bazakwazi-ke ukuthi yimi engikhulumayo: khangela, yimi. |
| 7. | Zinhle kangakanani phezu kwezintaba inyawo zalowo oletha izindaba ezinhle, ezimemezela ukuthula, eziletha indaba ezinhle zokulunga; ezimemezela usindiso; ezithi kuyo iZiyoni: UNkulunkulu wakho uyabusa. |
| 8. | Abalindi bakho bazaphakamisa ilizwi, bahlabele kanyekanye ngelizwi, ngoba bazabona ilihlo ngelihlo, lapho i Nkosi izabuyisa futhi iZiyoni. |
| 9. | Qhamukani ngentokozo, lihlabelele kanyekanye, lina manxiwa eJerusalema, ngoba i Nkosi isibaduduzile abantu bayo, iyihlengile iJerusalema. |
| 10. | I Nkosi iwavezile ingalo yayo engcwele emehlweni phambi kwazo zonke izizwe, umhlaba wonke uzabona ukukhulula kukaNkulunkulu wethu. |
| 11. | Phumani, phumani kulo iBhabhiloni, lingathinti okungcolileyo; phumani phakathi kwalo, lizigcine lihlambulukile, lina eliphatha izitsha ze Nkosi. |
| 12. | Kaliyikuphuma ngokuphangisa, kaliyikuphuma libaleka, ngoba i Nkosi izalikhokhela, loNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli alivikele ngemuva. |
| 13. | Khangela, inceku yami izaphumelela, izakuba nkulu ibe lodumo kakhulu. |
| 14. | Abanengi batshaqeka lapho beyibona; yayilimele kakhulu ubuso bungasakhangeleki njengobomuntu, lesimo singasabukeki njengesabantu. |
| 15. | Ngokunjalo-ke izizwe ezinengi zizamangala, lamakhosi athithibale ngenxa yayo; ngoba lokho abangakubikelwanga bazakubona, lalokho abangakuzwanga bazakuqedisisa. |
