8UZimu uthembisile endawenakhe ecwengileko wathi:
“Ngokuthakasa ngizohlukanisa iTjhekemu,
ngilinganise umrhoba weSukothi.
9Ngeyami iGiliyadi, ngeyami iManase!
I-Efrayimu iyingwanami,
iJuda iyintongami yobukhosi.
10IMowabi isisitja sami sokuhlambela;
phezu kwe-Edomu ngiphosa ipatlagwana lami;
ngikuhlokomela ngokwenama wena Filistiya!”
11Ngubani ozangisa edorobheni elinemithangala?
Ngubani ozangihlahla angise kwa-Edomu na?

14NgoZimu sizakuba nesibindi,
