    •  7 UJehova uzakwehlisela phezu kwabo

      Amanzi omfula* amanengi lalamandla,

      Yona kanye inkosi yase-Asiriya+ layo yonke inkazimulo yayo.

      Izagcwala kuzo zonke izifula zayo

      Igcwale ize iyefika emakhunjini ayo wonke,

       8 Izafohlela elizweni lakoJuda,

      Ikhukhule njalo ikhwele ize iyefika entanyeni,+

      Impiko zayo ezeluliweyo zizafika ezindaweni zonke zelizwe lakho,

      Wena Imanuweli.”*+
