6 Silivile ikratshi likaMowabhi, ikratshi elikhulu. Hayi, ukukratsha kwakhe! Hayi, ikratshi lakhe nokuphuphuma komsindo wakhe, ukuphololoza kwakhe into engeyiyo!
7 Ngako oko uMowabhi uya kubhomboloza ngenxa kaMowabhi; bonke bephela baya kubhomboloza; niya kunkwinizela izicumba zeerasintyisi zaseKir-hareshete, nithe dakumba kanye.
8 Kuba amasimi aseHeshbhon antshwenyile, nomdiliya waseSibhema. Abantu beentlanga bayivithile imidiliya yawo yohlobo; ibide yaya kufika eYazere, yanabela entlango, amasebe ayo anaba ada awela ulwandle.
9 Ngenxa yoko ndiyawulilela ngokulila kweYazere umdiliya waseSibhema; ndikunyakamisa ngeenyembezi zam, Heshbhon, nawe Elale, ngokuba ukuvunwa kweziqhamo zakho nokuvunwa kweediliya zakho kufikelwe ngamayeyeye.
10 Isukile imivuyo nemigcobo entsimini echumayo; akusamemelelwa ezidiliyeni, akusadunywa nokudunywa; umxovuli akasaxovuli newayini emkhombeni; ndiwaphelisile amayeyeye.
11 Ngenxa yoko izibilini zam ziyahlokoma njengohadi ngoMowabhi, nento ephakathi kwam ngeKir-heres.
12 Kuya kuthi, xa athe wabonakala, xa athe wazidinisa uMowabhi esigángeni, wangena engcweleni yakhe ukuba athandaze, asuke angabi nakuthini.
