3 “Mede adesɛefo ahorow anan bɛba wɔn so,” Awurade na ose, “afoa a ebekunkum wɔn, akraman a wɔbɛtwe wɔn ase akɔ, wim nnomaa ne asase so mmoa a wɔbɛtetew wɔn nam asɛe wɔn. 4 Mɛma wɔayɛ akyiwade ama asase so ahenni nyinaa, esiane nea Yudahene Hesekia babarima Manase yɛɛ wɔ Yerusalem nti.
5 “Hena na obehu wo mmɔbɔ, Yerusalem?

6 Woapo me,” Awurade na ose.
“Wugu akyirisan so ara.

Memfɛm obi biribi na memmɔɔ bosea mfii obi hɔ ɛ,

11 Awurade kae se,
“Nokware megye wo ama botae pa bi;
ampa ara mɛma wʼatamfo apa wo kyɛw

12 “Onipa betumi abu dade mu

13 “Mo ahode ne mo nnwetɛbona

Awurade, na ose.
21 “Megye wo nkwa afi amumɔyɛfo nsam
na mayi wo afi atirimɔdenfo nsam.”
