1Izwi likaJehova elafika kuJeremiya umprofethi ngamaFilisti, uFaro engakanqobi iGaza.
2Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, amanzi ayenyuka enyakatho, abe ngumfula okhukhulayo, akhukhule izwe nokugcwala kwalo, umuzi nabakhileyo kuwo; abantu bayakukhala, bonke abakhileyo ezweni bahhewule.
3Ngomsindo wokudubhuza kwezinselo zamahhashi akhe anamandla, nangokuduma kwezinqola zakhe, nangodumo lwamasondo akhe oyise ababheki emuva kubantwana ngenxa yobuthakathaka bezandla zabo
4ngenxa yosuku olufika ukuchitha onke amaFilisti nokunquma eTire naseSidoni bonke abasizi abaseleyo, ngokuba uJehova uyakuwachitha amaFilisti, insali yesiqhingi saseKafitori.
5Ubumpandla bulehlele iGaza; i-Ashikeloni liphelile, insali yesigodi sabo; uyakuzisika kuze kube nini na?
6“Awu wena nkemba kaJehova, koze kube nini ungathuli na? Buyela emgodleni wakho, uthule, uzole.
7Ingathula kanjani, lapho iyalezwe nguJehova, na? Uyinqumele i-Ashikeloni nogu lolwandle.”
