11 Nʼapɔnkɔ no ntɔte bɛtiatia wo mmɔntene nyinaa so. Ɔde akofena bɛkunkum wo nkurɔfoɔ na wʼafadum denden no bɛbubu agu fam.
12 Wɔbɛfom wʼahodeɛ na wɔawia wʼadwadeɛ, wɔbɛbubu wʼafasuo, na wɔadwiri wʼadan fɛfɛ no na wɔatoto wʼaboɔ, wo nnua ne wo dɔteɛ agu ɛpo mu.

14 Mɛyɛ wo ɔbotan kwawee, na wo so na wɔbɛhata asau. Wɔrensi kuro no bio. Me Awurade na maka!
15 “Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ Tiro: Sɛ wo mpoano nkuro no te wʼasehweɛ ho apinisie ne akunkumakunkum a asi wɔ wo mu a, wɔn ho rempopo anaa?
16 Afei mpoano mmapɔmma no nyinaa bɛfiri wɔn nhennwa so, ayiyi wɔn ngugusoɔ ne ntadeɛ a wɔadi mu adwini agu hɔ. Ehu bɛbɔ wɔn ama wɔatenatena fam. Wɔn ho bɛpopo na wɔn ho adwiri wɔn wɔ wo enti.
17 Afei wɔbɛma kwadwom a ɛfa wo ho so sɛ: “‘Hwɛ sɛdeɛ wɔasɛe woɔ, Ao kuropɔn a wagye din, wo a ɛpo sofoɔ na ɛte wo mu, na anka wowɔ tumi wɔ ɛpo so! Wo ne wo manfoɔ; wo de ehu hyɛɛ wɔn a wɔte hɔ nyinaa mu.

19 “Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Sɛ mema woyɛ kuropɔn a ada mpan te sɛ nkuropɔn a nnipa ntete so, na sɛ mema ɛpo bunu ba wo so na sɛ ne mu nsuo bebrebe no bɛkata wo so a,
