16 Abo bakubonayo baza kukujamela;

Baza kukuhlolisisa baze bathi,

‘Ngaba yile ndoda eyayigungqisa umhlaba le,

Eyayinyikimisa izizwe,+

17 Eyenza ilizwe ekuhlalwa kulo lanjengendawo eyomileyo

Eyabhukuqa izixeko zayo,+

Ingavumi ukukhulula amabanjwa agoduke?’+

“Kukho endiza kumthumela eBhabhiloni ayokuwisa iingcango zayo zentsimbi,+

Ibe amaKhaledi aza kutsho esimantshiyane kwezo nqanawa zawo.+

“Nkqu nabathinjwa bendoda enamandla baza kuthathwa,+

Nabo bathinjwe nguzwilakhe baza kusindiswa.+

Ndiza kubachasa abo bakuchasayo,+

Yaye ndiza kubasindisa oonyana bakho.
