uYeremiya 12:1-4

Unyanisile, Yehova, xa ndibambeneyo nawe; Andiyi kuthetha kuwe ngezigwebo zakho; kungani na ukuba indlela yabangendawo ibe nempumelelo? Kutheni bonwabile bonke abo basebenza ngenkohliso? Ubatyalile, bendelwa neengcambu; ayahluma, ewe, axakathe isiqhamo; Ikufuphi emlonyeni wabo, ikude nezintso zabo. Ke wena, Yehova, uyandazi; Wandibona, wayicikida intliziyo yam ngawe; bahlube njengeegusha eziya kuxhelwa; balungiselele umhla wokubulawa. Kuya kude kube nini na ilizwe lilila, nezityalo zalo lonke ilizwe loma ngenxa yobungendawo babemi? izilwanyana neentaka ezitshabaleleyo; ngokuba bathi, Akayi kusibona isiphelo sethu.
