Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ, “Siane kɔ Yudahene ahemfie na kɔpae mu ka saa asɛm yi: 
‘Tie Awurade asɛm, Ao, Yudahene, wo a wote Dawid ahennwa so, wo, wʼadwumayɛfoɔ ne wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔfa apono yi mu. 
Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: Monyɛ deɛ ɛtene na ɛda ɛkwan mu. Monnye deɛ wɔabɔ no korɔno mfiri ne hyɛsofoɔ nsam. Monnyɛ ɔhɔhoɔ, awisiaa ne okunafoɔ bɔne na monnyɛ wɔn basabasa nso, na monnhwie mogya a ɛdi bem ngu wɔ ha. 
Sɛ moyɛ ahwɛyie na modi saa ahyɛdeɛ yi so a, ɛnneɛ ahemfo a wɔte Dawid ahennwa so ne wɔn adwumayɛfoɔ ne wɔn nkurɔfoɔ bɛfa saa ahemfie apono yi mu, a wɔtete nteaseɛnam mu ne apɔnkɔ so. 
Enti sɛ moanni saa nhyehyɛeɛ yi so a, Awurade na ɔseɛ, Meka me ho ntam sɛ, saa ahemfie yi bɛdane fituo.’ ” 
Deɛ Awurade ka fa Yudahene ahemfie ho nie: “Ɛwom sɛ medɔ wo te sɛ Gilead na wote sɛ Lebanon mmepɔ atifi, nanso, mɛyɛ wo sɛ anweatam, sɛ nkuro a obiara nte mu. 
Mɛsoma asɛefoɔ abɛtoa mo, obiara ne nʼakodeɛ, wɔbɛtwitwa mo ntweneduro mpunan fɛfɛ no mu na wɔato agu ogya no mu. 
“Nnipa a wɔfifiri aman bebree so bɛtwam wɔ kuropɔn yi so, na wɔbɛbisabisa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na Awurade ayɛ saa kuropɔn kɛseɛ yi sei?’ 
Na mmuaeɛ no bɛyɛ sɛ, ‘Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔagya Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn apam no akɔsɔre anyame foforɔ asom wɔn.’ ” 
Monnsu ɔhene a wafiri mu, na monni ne ho awerɛhoɔ; mmom, monsu denden mma deɛ ɔkɔ nnommumfa mu, ɛfiri sɛ ɔrensane nʼakyi na ɔrenhunu asase a wɔwoo no wɔ so no bio. 
Na yei ne deɛ Awurade ka faa Yosia babarima Salum a ɔdii nʼagya adeɛ sɛ Yudahene na wafiri ha no ho: “Ɔrensane mma bio. 
Ɔbɛwu wɔ baabi a wɔafa no nnommum akɔ hɔ; na ɔrenhunu saa asase yi bio.” 
“Nnome nka deɛ ɔmfa ɛkwan tenenee so nsi nʼahemfie, na ɔde nsisie si nʼabansoro. Nnome nka deɛ ɔma ne ɔmanfoɔ yɛ adwuma kwa, na ɔntua wɔn apaadie so ka. 
Ɔka sɛ, ‘Mɛsi ahemfie kɛseɛ ama me ho deɛ ɛwɔ abansoro adan a emu soso.’ Enti ɔyɛ mpomma akɛseɛ wɔ mu; ɔde ntweneduro dura mu na ɔde ahosu kɔkɔɔ hyehyɛ mu. 
“Wowɔ ntweneduro bebree a na ɛma woyɛ ɔhene anaa? Na wʼagya nni aduane ne nsã anaa? Ɔyɛɛ deɛ ɛfa ne ɛkwan mu na ɛtene, enti ɛsii no yie. 
Ɔdii mmɔborɔni ne ohiani asɛm maa wɔn, enti biribiara yɛɛ yie maa no. Na ɛnyɛ yei na ɛkyerɛ sɛ obi nim me anaa?” Awurade na ɔseɛ. 
“Mo ani ne mo akoma wɔ mfasoɔ bɔne nko ara so, sɛ mohwie mogya a ɛdi bem guo na moyɛ nhyɛsoɔ ne nsisie nso.” 
Ɛno enti, yei ne deɛ Awurade ka fa Yudahene Yosia babarima Yehoiakim ho: “Wɔrensu no sɛ: ‘Aa, me nuabarima! Aa me nuabaa!’ Wɔrensu no sɛ: ‘Aa, me wura! Aa nʼahoɔfɛ!’ 
Wɔbɛsie no sɛ afunumu. Wɔbɛtwe nʼase na wɔato no atwene Yerusalem apono akyi.” 
“Monkɔ Lebanon nkɔ su, momma wɔnte mo nne wɔ Basan; monsu mfiri Abarim, ɛfiri sɛ wɔadwerɛ mo mpamfoɔ nyinaa. 
Mebɔɔ wo kɔkɔ, ɛberɛ a na ɛyɛ wo sɛ wʼasom adwo wo, nanso wokaa sɛ, ‘Merentie!’ Yei ne ɛkwan a wonam so firi wo mmerante berɛ mu; woanyɛ ɔsetie amma me.

Mo a mote Lebanon, na modeda ntweneduro adan mu, ɛrenkyɛre koraa, sɛ ɔyea ba mo so a, mobɛsi apene te sɛ ɔbaa a ɔreko awoɔ. 
“Nokorɛm, sɛ mete ase yi,” Awurade na ɔseɛ, “Mpo sɛ wo Yehoiakin, Yudahene Yehoiakim babarima yɛɛ me nsa nifa so nsɔano kaa a, anka mɛworɔ wo. 
Mede wo bɛma wɔn a wɔrehwehwɛ wo kra, wɔn a wosuro wɔn no; Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar ne Babiloniafoɔ.

Yei ne deɛ Awurade seɛ: “Montwerɛ ɔbarima yi ho asɛm nto hɔ te sɛ obi a ɔnni ba, ɔbarima a ɔrennya nkɔsoɔ ne nkwa nna nyinaa na nʼasefoɔ mu biara renya nkɔsoɔ, na wɔn mu biara rentena Dawid ahennwa so na wɔrenni Yuda so ɔhene bio.”
