Context
3Hili ndilo Bwana asemalo: Tenda haki na adili. Mwokoe mkononi mwa mdhalimu yeye aliyetekwa nyara. Usimtendee mabaya wala ukatili mgeni, yatima au mjane, wala usimwage damu isiyo na hatia mahali hapa. 4Kwa kuwa ukiwa mwangalifu kushika maagizo haya, ndipo wafalme watakaokalia kiti cha enzi cha Daudi watakapoingia kupitia malango ya jumba hili la kifalme, wakiwa wamepanda magari na farasi, huku wakifuatana na maafisa wao na watu wao. 5Lakini kama hutayatii maagizo haya, asema Bwana, ninaapa kwa nafsi yangu kwamba jumba hili litakuwa gofu.’ ” 6Kwa kuwa hili ndilo Bwana asemalo kuhusu jumba la kifalme la mfalme wa Yuda:
“Ingawa uko kama Gileadi kwangu,
kama kilele cha Lebanoni,
hakika nitakufanya uwe kama jangwa,
kama miji ambayo haijakaliwa na watu. 7Nitawatuma waharabu dhidi yako,
kila mtu akiwa na silaha zake,
nao watazikata boriti zako nzuri za mierezi
na kuzitupa motoni.
