1 తిరుగుబాటు పట్టణానికి బాధ. హింసాత్మక నగరం భ్రష్టమైపోయింది.
မိ​မိ​၏​မြို့​သား​များ​ကို​ပင်​လျှင်​ညှင်း​ပန်း နှိပ်​စက်​ကာ​အ​ကျင့်​ပျက်​ပုန်​ကန်​တတ်​သည့် ယေ​ရု​ရှ​လင်​မြို့​သည်​အ​မင်္ဂ​လာ​ရှိ​၏။-
2 అది దేవుని మాట ఆలకించలేదు. శిక్షకు అంగీకరించ లేదు. యెహోవా పట్ల విశ్వాసముంచదు. దాని దేవుని దగ్గరికి రాదు.
ထို​မြို့​သည်​ထာ​ဝ​ရ​ဘု​ရား​၏​ဗျာ​ဒိတ်​တော် ကို​နား​မ​ထောင်။ ကိုယ်​တော်​၏​စည်း​ကမ်း​ကို မ​လိုက်​နာ။ ကိုယ်​တော်​ကို​ယုံ​ကြည်​ကိုး​စား မှု​မ​ပြု။ ကိုယ်​တော်​၏​ကူ​မ​မှု​ကို​လည်း​မ တောင်း​ခံ​ခဲ့။-
3 దాని మధ్య దాని అధిపతులు గర్జన చేసే సింహాలు. దాని న్యాయాధిపతులు రాత్రివేళ తిరుగులాడుతూ తెల్లవారేదాకా ఎరలో ఏమీ మిగలకుండా పీక్కు తినే తోడేళ్లు.
ထို​ပြည်​ကို​အုပ်​ချုပ်​သော​အ​ရာ​ရှိ​တို့​သည် ခြင်္သေ့​ငယ်​များ​နှင့်​တူ​ကြ​၏။ တ​ရား​စီ​ရင် သူ​တို့​သည်​လည်း​လော​ဘ​ရ​မက်​ကြီး​လွန်း သ​ဖြင့် နံ​နက်​ချိန်​တိုင်​အောင်​အ​ရိုး​တစ်​ချောင်း ကို​မျှ​မ​စွန့်​ပစ်​နိုင်​သည့်​ဝံ​ပု​လွေ​ငယ်​များ နှင့်​တူ​ကြ​၏။-
4 దాని ప్రవక్తలు పెంకెతనం గలవారు, విశ్వాస ఘాతకులు. దాని యాజకులు ధర్మశాస్త్రాన్ని నిరాకరించి ప్రతిష్ఠిత వస్తువులను అపవిత్రపరిచేవారు.

5 అయితే న్యాయం తీర్చే యెహోవా దాని మధ్య ఉన్నాడు. ఆయన అక్రమం చేసేవాడు కాడు. అనుదినం తప్పకుండా ఆయన న్యాయ విధులు వెల్లడి చేస్తాడు. ఆయనకు రహస్యమైనదేమీ లేదు. అయినా నీతిహీనులకు సిగ్గులేదు.

6 నేను అన్యజనులను నిర్మూలం చేయగా వారి కోటలు పాడైపోతాయి. ఒకడైనా సంచరించకుండా వారి వీధులు నిర్మానుష్యమై పోతాయి. జనసంచారం లేకుండా వాటిలో ఎవరూ కాపురముండకుండా వారి పట్టణాలను లయపరచిన వాణ్ణి నేనే.
ထာ​ဝ​ရ​ဘု​ရား​က``ငါ​သည်​လူ​မျိုး​တ​ကာ ကို​လုံး​ဝ​ဖျက်​ဆီး​ခဲ့​လေ​ပြီ။ သူ​တို့​၏​မြို့ များ​ကို​သုတ်​သင်​ဖျက်​ဆီး​၍​မြို့​တံ​တိုင်း များ၊ ရဲ​တိုက်​များ​ကို​လည်း​ယို​ယွင်း​ပျက် စီး​စေ​လေ​ပြီ။ မြို့​တို့​သည်​လူ​သူ​ဆိတ်​ငြိမ် လျက်​လမ်း​တို့​သည်​လည်း​ဟာ​လာ​ဟင်း လင်း​ဖြစ်​လျက်​နေ​ကြ​၏။ လူ​တစ်​ဦး တစ်​ယောက်​မျှ​မ​ရှိ​ကြ​တော့​ပေ။-
7 దాని విషయమై నా నిర్ణయమంతటి చొప్పున మీ నివాస స్థలం సర్వనాశనం కాకుండేలా, నాపట్ల భయభక్తులు కలిగి శిక్షకు లోబడతారని నేను అనుకున్నాను గాని, వారు చెడ్డ పనులు చేయడంలో అత్యాశ గలవారయ్యారు.

8 కాబట్టి యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చేవాక్కు ఏమంటే, “నా కోసం ఎదురు చూడండి. నేను లేచి ఎర పట్టుకునే దినం కోసం కనిపెట్టి ఉండండి. నా ఉగ్రతను నా కోపాగ్ని అంతటినీ వారిపై కుమ్మరించడానికి, అన్యజనులను పోగు చేయడానికి, గుంపులు గుంపులుగా రాజ్యాలను సమకూర్చడానికి, నేను నిశ్చయించుకున్నాను. నా రోషాగ్ని చేత భూమంతా కాలిపోతుంది.
