Thus says Yahweh of Armies: The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together; and all who took them captive hold them fast; they refuse to let them go.
Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Babecudiswa oonyana bakaSirayeli noonyana bakaYuda kunye; bonke ababathimbayo bayagcinisa ukubabamba, abavumi ukubandulula.
