| 17. | Ngokuba utsho uYehova ukuthi, Aniyi kubona moya, aniyi kubona mvula; esi sihlambo ke siya kuzala amanzi, nisele nina, nemihlambi yenu, namaqegu enu. |
| 18. | Loo nto ilula emehlweni kaYehova; uya kuwanikela namaMowabhi esandleni senu. |

| 20. | Kwathi kusasa, xa kunyuswa umnikelo wokudla, nanko kusiza amanzi, evela ngendlela yakwaEdom, ilizwe lazala amanzi. |
| 21. | Eva ke onke amaMowabhi ukuba benyukile ookumkani, besiza kulwa nawo, ahlaba umkhosi kwintanga yonke exhobayo nengaphezulu, ema emdeni. |
| 22. | Avuka kusasa, ilanga lithe chapha emanzini; amaMowabhi awabona amanzi phambi kwawo, ebomvu njengegazi; |
| 23. | athi, Ligazi le nto; ookumkani bachithene bodwa, babulalana. Nalo ke ixhoba, Mowabhi. |
| 24. | Afika ke emkhosini wakwaSirayeli; asuka amaSirayeli, awaxabela amaMowabhi, asaba wona ebusweni bawo, alingenela ilizwe, ehamba ewaxabela amaMowabhi. |
| 25. | Bayigungxula nemizi; emasimini onke amahle, elowo waphosa ilitye lakhe, bawazalisa, bayidibelela yonke imithombo yamanzi, bayiwisa yonke imithi emihle, kwada eKir-hareshete kwasala amatye ayo odwa; bayirhawula abasawuli, batsho kuyo. |
| 26. | Wabona ukumkani wamaMowabhi, ukuba impi imkhulele, wathabathela kuye amadoda angamakhulu asixhenxe arhola ikrele, ukuba atyhudise, abheke kukumkani wakwaEdom; akaba nako. |
| 27. | Wathabatha unyana wakhe wamazibulo, obeya kuba ngukumkani esikhundleni sakhe, wamnyusa waba lidini elinyukayo phezu kodonga. Afikelwa buburhalarhume obukhulu amaSirayeli. Ancothuka kuye, abuyela ezweni lawo. |
