11 Bonke abantu ababesesangweni namadoda amakhulu bathi: “Singamangqina! Wanga uYehova angamnika umfazi oza endlwini yakho ukuba abe njengoRakeli+ noLeya,+ bobabini abakha indlu kaSirayeli;+ nawe ulingqine ixabiso lakho kwaEfratha+ uze uzenzele igama eBhetelehem.+

44 “‘Ngemali abantu baya kuthenga amasimi, yaye kuya kubhalwa kulo uxwebhu+ kuze kutywinwe kuthatyathwe namangqina+ kwilizwe lakwaBhenjamin+ nakoko kungqonge iYerusalem+ nasezixekweni zakwaYuda+ nasezixekweni zommandla weentaba nasezixekweni ezisesithabazini+ nasezixekweni zasemzantsi,+ ngenxa yokuba ndiya kubuyisela abathinjwa babo,’+ utsho uYehova.”
