17 Kwaba nguzamcolo emhlabeni izinsuku ezingamashumi amane; amanzi anda, aphakamisa umkhumbi; waphakama phezu komhlaba.
18 Amanzi akhula, anda kakhulu emhlabeni; umkhumbi wahamba ebusweni bamanzi.
19 Amanzi andisisa impela emhlabeni; zasitshekelwa zonke izintaba eziphakemeyo eziphansi kwezulu lonke.
20 Amanzi azidlula ngezingalo eziyishumi nanhlanu, zaze zasitshekelwa izintaba.
21 Inyama yonke eyayihamba emhlabeni yafa, izinyoni, nezinkomo, nezilo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni, nabantu bonke;
22 konke okunomphefumulo womoya wokuphila emakhaleni akho, konke okusemhlabathini owomileyo, kwafa.
23 Wachitha kanjalo konke okuphilayo ebusweni bomhlaba, abantu, nezinkomo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nezinyoni zezulu; wakuchitha emhlabeni; kwasala uNowa yedwa kanye nakho okwakukhona naye emkhunjini.
