Kepha ngathuma kini zonke izinceku zami abaprofethi, ngavuka ekuseni, ngabathuma, ngathi: ‘Ningenzi lesi sinengiso engizondayo. Kodwa kabalalelanga, kababekanga izindlebe zabo ukuthi babuye ebubini babo, bangabeki impepho iye kwabanye onkulunkulu. Ngalokho ukufutheka kwami nokufutheka kwami kuyathululwa, kuvutha emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema; futhi zachithwa futhi ziyincithakalo njengoba zinjalo namuhla.

Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Bhekani, ngibhekise ubuso bami kini ukuba ngenze okubi, ngichithe wonke uJuda. Ngiyakuthatha insali yakwaJuda ebhekise ubuso bayo ukuba iye ezweni laseGibithe ukuba igogobale khona, futhi iyoqedwa yonke, iwe ezweni laseGibithe; bayoqedwa ngisho nangenkemba nangendlala; bayakufa, kusukela komncane kuye komkhulu ngenkemba nangendlala; bayakuba yinhlekisa, nesimangaliso, nesiqalekiso, nesihlamba. Ngokuba ngiyakubahambela abakhileyo ezweni laseGibithe, njengalokho ngahambela iJerusalema ngenkemba, nangendlala, nangesifo. Ukuze kungabikho noyedwa owasalayo wakwaJuda owaya ezweni laseGibithe ukuba agogobale khona oyophunyuka noma osalayo ukuba abuyele ezweni lakwaJuda efisa ukubuyela kulo ukuba ahlale khona; akekho oyobuya ngaphandle kwalabo ababalekile.
