Context
15Kwa hiyo, hili ndilo Bwana asemalo kuhusu manabii wanaotabiri kwa jina langu: Mimi sikuwatuma, lakini wanasema, ‘Hakuna upanga wala njaa itakayoigusa nchi hii.’ Manabii hao hao watakufa kwa upanga na njaa. 16Nao watu hao wanaowatabiria watatupwa nje katika barabara za Yerusalemu kwa sababu ya njaa na upanga. Hapatakuwepo yeyote wa kuwazika wao au wake zao, wana wao au binti zao. Nitawamwagia maafa wanayostahili. 17“Nena nao neno hili:
“ ‘Macho yangu na yatiririkwe na machozi
usiku na mchana bila kukoma;
kwa kuwa binti yangu aliye bikira, yaani watu wangu,
amepata jeraha baya,
pigo la kuangamiza. 18Kama nikienda mashambani,
ninaona wale waliouawa kwa upanga;
kama nikienda mjini,
ninaona maangamizi ya njaa.
Nabii na kuhani kwa pamoja
wamekwenda katika nchi wasiyoijua.’ ” 19Je, umemkataa Yuda kabisa?
Umemchukia Sayuni kabisa?
Kwa nini umetuumiza
hata hatuwezi kuponyeka?
Tulitarajia amani,
lakini hakuna jema lililotujia;
tulitarajia wakati wa kupona
lakini kuna hofu kuu tu.
