18 I will pursue them with sword, famine, and pestilence, and will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, a terror, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them, 19 because they did not pay attention to my words, declares the Lord , that I persistently sent to you by my servants the prophets, but you would not listen, declares the Lord .'
18Ngizaxotshana labo ngenkemba langendlala langomatshayabhuqe wesifo, ngibenze babe yinto eyesabekayo kuyo yonke imibuso yomhlaba, babe yisiqalekiso, lesimangaliso, lento yokuncifelwa, lehlazo, phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe lapho engibaxotshele khona; 19ngoba bengawalalelanga amazwi ami engawathumela kibo ngenceku zami abaprofethi, ngivuka ngovivi ngithumela, kodwa kabalalelanga, kutsho i Nkosi.
