| 28. | Wena, ndodana yomuntu, profetha uthi: INkosi uJehova ithi ngamaAmoni ahleka uIsrayeli: Inkemba, inkemba isihwatshelwe ukubulala, yalolongwa ukuze ikhazimule, iphazime njengombane. |
| 29. | Usabona imibono yamanga, uvumise amanga ubekwe ezintanyeni zezixhwali ezimbi, ezilensuku esezifikile, isikhathi sokutshaywa kwazo kokucina. |
| 30. | Ubuyisele endaweni yawo. Endaweni lapha wadalelwa khona, elizweni owadabuka kilo, ngizakwahlulela khona; |
| 31. | ngehlisele ukuthukuthela kwami phezu kwakho, ngikuthungele ngomlilo wolaka lwami, ngikunikele ezandleni zabantu abalolunya, abakwaziyo ukubulala. |
