11 Thana: ‘Ngiyisibonakaliso senu;’ njengalokho ngenzile, kuyakwenziwa kanjalo kubo; bayakuya ekuthunjweni, baboshwe.
12 “Isikhulu esiphakathi kwabo siyakuthwala ehlombe sekumnyama, siphume, bagebhule ogangeni ukuba bakhiphe khona, sisibekele usubo baso, ngokuba asiyikubona izwe ngamehlo aso.
13 Ngiyakuleneka inetha lami phezu kwaso, sibanjwe ogibeni lwami; ngiyakusiyisa eBabele ezweni lamaKaledi. Kepha asiyikulibona, noma sifela khona.
14 Bonke abasizungezayo ukusisiza namaviyo aso ngiyakubahlakazela kuyo yonke imimoya, ngihoshe inkemba emva kwabo.

16 Kepha ngiyakushiya kubo abantu abayingcosana besala enkembeni, nasendlaleni, nasesifweni, ukuba balande ngazo zonke izinengiso zabo phakathi kwezizwe lapho befika khona, bazi ukuthi nginguJehova.”
