Cuz ova dea no mo war! No goin hear da war trumpets, an no goin stay wit no mo food.’ 15 If dass how you guys figga, den lissen wat me Da One In Charge tell you Judah peopo dat still stay hea.

No mo nobody goin stay alive an run away from da real bad kine stuff I goin make happen to dem.

18 “Cuz dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: ‘Jalike I come huhu an tell “Laytas” to wat da peopo dat wen stay inside Jerusalem do, same ting az how I tell “Laytas” to wat you guys goin do wen you go Egypt side. Peopo goin sing sad songs an cry loud kine bout you guys. Dey goin tink az skery wat happen to you. Dey goin like put kahuna on top you guys, an poin finga you guys an laugh at you. An you guys no goin see dis land no moa.’
