If dey stick wit da rules, I no kick um outa da land I wen give to dea ancesta guys.” 9 But da peopo no lissen, cuz Manasseh wen make um go da wrong way. Az why dey do even mo plenny bad kine stuff den da odda peopos dat Da One In Charge wen wipe out, da time da Israel peopo come dea.

Erybody goin come bum out wen dey hear bout um. 13 I goin make Jerusalem town come da same way I wen do fo da Samaria town wen I wipe um out. Jalike I goin use da same rope fo measure da two towns. I goin pull da same string fo find out if da Jerusalem peopo stay strait. Dis da same string I wen use da time I wen wipe out da Ahab ohana. But I goin wipe da Jerusalem peopo fo make um clean, jalike somebody wipe one dish an put um upside down fo dry um. 14 I no goin take kea da peopo dat suppose to stay mines, da ones dat still yet stay alive. I goin turn um ova to da peopo dat stay agains dem. All da peopo dat stay agains dem, goin steal all dea stuffs. 15 I do dat, cuz my peopo stay do real bad kine stuff da way I see dem, an dey make me come real huhu, from da time dea ancesta guys wen come outa Egypt till today.”
