E Nọyaẹnmwa khare wẹẹ, “Akpa ọre avbe emwa mwẹ khin, iran ma rẹn mwẹ. Iran ye vbe emọ ni kọẹn, iran i mwẹ irẹnmwi hiehie. Iguẹsẹ ẹre iran khin vbe emwi dan ne a ru, emwi esi ne a ru i dunna ne iran.”
“For my people are foolish; They take no note of me. They are stupid sons, with no understanding. They are clever* enough when it comes to doing bad, But they do not know how to do good.”

23 I saw the land, and look! it was empty and desolate. I looked at the heavens, and their light was no more.
24 I tọn aro mu ghee avbe oke nekhua, ehia ke gha guọ zẹzẹzẹ, avbe oke negiẹrẹ kegha de yo de rre.
24 I saw the mountains, and look! they were quaking, And the hills were shaking.
25 I keghi miẹn wẹẹ emwa i rrọọ hiehie, uhin ighẹ te avbe ahianmwẹ wa tinnọ kua.
25 I saw, and look! there was no man, And the birds of the heavens had all fled.
26 Otọ ne ọ te ma emwiokọ khian ato, ẹvbo nekhua ni rrọọ khian itowa, rhunmwuda ohu nọkhua ọghe Nọyaẹnmwa.
26 I saw, and look! the orchard had become a wilderness, And its cities had all been torn down. It was because of Jehovah, Because of his burning anger.
27 (E Nọyaẹnmwa tae nẹ wẹẹ, otọ agbọn hia gha khian ne ọ rhia ẹre, sokpan, ọ wẹẹ irẹn i ra fuẹn ọnrẹn ruan fẹẹrẹ.)
27 For this is what Jehovah says: “The whole land will become desolate, But I will not carry out a complete extermination.

The heart is more treacherous* than anything else and is desperate.* Who can know it?

How long will this continue in the heart of the prophets, to prophesy lies? They are prophets of the deceit of their own heart.
