21 Nanti izwi uJehova alikhulumile ngaye:“ ‘Ikudelele yakuhleka usulu intombi,indodakazi yaseSiyoni;ikunikinele ikhandaindodakazi yaseJerusalema.
22 Weyise bani, wathuka bani, na?Uphakamisele bani izwi lakho,wabhekisa phezulu amehlo akho, na?NgoNgcwele ka-Israyeli!
23 Ngesandla sezithunywa zakho uyijivazile inkosi,wathi: “Ngobuningi bezinqola zami ngenyuke mina phezulu ezintabeningaphakathi kweLebanoni;ngigawula imisedari* yalo emide nemisayipuresi* yalo ekhethekileyongangena endaweni yalo yokugcina nasehlathini lalo eliminyeneyo.
24 Ngemba, ngaphuza amanzi angaziwayo;ngomisa ngamathe onyawo lwami yonke imifula yaseGibithe.”
25 “ ‘Awuzwanga ukuthi kade ngakuhlela na?Emihleni yasendulo ngakunquma;manje sengikulethile ukuba uchithe imizi ebiyelweyo,ibe yizinqwaba.
26 Abakhe kuyo babe namandla amancane,besaba, bajabha;baba njengotshani basendle,nembali notshani obuluhlaza,nokuluhlaza ezimpahleni zezindlu,namabele ahamukile engakakhuli.
