Ɛnyɛ nokorɛ so na wɔnam

4 “Monhwɛ yie wɔ mo nnamfonom ho;

Ɛfiri sɛ onuabarima biara yɛ ɔdaadaafoɔ,

10 Mɛsu na mɛtwa adwo ama mmepɔ no,

Ewiem nnomaa no atutu kɔ

11 “Mɛyɛ Yerusalem mmubuiɛ sie,

12 Onipa bɛn na ɔnim nyansa ara sɛ ɔbɛte yei ase? Hwan na Awurade akyerɛkyerɛ no a ɔbɛtumi akyerɛ aseɛ? Adɛn enti na wɔasɛe asase no ama ada mpan sɛ anweatam a obiara ntumi mfa soɔ?
13 Awurade kaa sɛ, “Esiane sɛ wɔapo me mmara a mehyɛ maa wɔn no enti, wɔanyɛ ɔsetie amma me na wɔanni me mmara so.
14 Mmom, wɔadi wɔn akoma asoɔden akyi, wɔadi Baalnom akyi sɛdeɛ wɔn agyanom kyerɛɛ wɔn no.”

16 Mɛbɔ wɔn ahwete amanaman a wɔn anaa wɔn agyanom nnim so, na mede akofena bɛtaa wɔn kɔsi sɛ mɛsɛe wɔn.”
17 Sɛdeɛ Awurade tumfoɔ seɛ nie:
“Dwene ho! Frɛ mmaa agyaadwotwafoɔ no,

18 Ma wɔmmra ntɛm

20 Afei, Ao mmaa, montie Awurade asɛm;

22 Ka sɛ, “Sei na Awurade seɛ,
“ ‘Nnipa afunu bɛdeda hɔ

23 Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ:
“Mma onyansafoɔ mfa ne nyansa nhyehyɛ ne ho

sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
25 “Nna bi reba,” Awurade na ɔseɛ, “A mɛtwe wɔn a wɔatwa twetia wɔ honam fam nko ara no nyinaa aso:
