Wayesethi uJowabe : Anginakulibala kanje nawe . Wathatha imikhonto emithathu ngesandla sakhe, wambhokoda u-Abisalomu enhliziyweni esezwa, ephakathi kwe-oki.

Bophelani amahhashi, nikhwele nina bamahhashi, nisuke nime ninezigqoko zempi, niphucuze imikhonto, nembathe amabhantshi ensimbi.

Uyakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe eziningi , anqume phakathi kwezi zwe ezinamandla ezikude ; ziyakukhanda iz inkemba zazo zibe ngamakhuba , imikhonto yazo ibe ngocelemba ; isizwe asiyikuphakamisela isizwe inkemba , zingabe zisafuna ukulwa.

Izihlangu za maqhawe akhe zibomvu , amadoda anamandla embethe okubomvu; izinqola zibengezela umlilo ensimbini ngosuku lokuzilungisela kwakhe; imikhonto iyaveva.

Kusukela kulolo suku inxenye yezinceku zami yasebenza emisebenzini , nenxenye yazo yaphatha imikhonto , nezihlangu, neminsalo, namabhantshi ensimbi; ababusi babe semva kwendlu yonke yakwaJuda.

Sase senza nathi umsebenzi wethu , inxenye iphethe imikhonto , kusukela ekuqaleni kokusa kuze kuphume izinkanyezi.
