And do no wrong or violence to the alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place. |
| 4 ܘܐܢ ܡܥܒܕ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܥܠܘܢ ܒܬܪ̈ܥܘܗܝ ܕܒܝܬܐ ܗܢܐ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܥܠ ܟܘܪܣܝܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܟܕ ܪܟܝܒܝܢ ܒܡܪ̈ܟܒܬܐ ܘܒܪ̈ܟܫܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܘܥܡܗ | 4 For if you will indeed obey this word, then there shall enter the gates of this house kings who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their servants, and their people. |

| 7 ܘܐܛܝܒ ܥܠܝܟ ܡܚܒ̈ܠܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܘܢܪܓܗ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܢܦܣܩܘܢ ܓܒ̈ܝܐ ܕܐܪ̈ܙܝܟ ܘܢܪܡܘܢ ܒܢܘܪܐ | 7 I will prepare destroyers against you, each with his weapons; and they shall cut down your choicest cedars, and cast them into the fire. |

They shall not lament for him, saying, 'Ah lord!' or 'Ah his majesty!' |
