Ngokuba ubuyinqaba kwabampofu, inqaba kwabaswelayo ekucindezelweni kwabo, isiphephelo esivunguvungwini , umthunzi ekubaleleni , ngokuba umoya waba nonya, unjengesivunguvungu odongeni,

Izimpi ziyakuvela nayo, zingcolise indlu engcwele, inqaba, zisuse umnikelo oshiswa imihla yonke, zimise isinengiso esichithayo.

Unyathela ulwandle ngamahhashi akho, inqaba yamanzi amaningi.

Wena ndodana yomuntu, angithi kuyakwenzeka mhla ngisusa inqaba yabo, intokozo nobuhle babo , okunxanelekayo emehlweni abo , nababeke umphefumulo wabo kukho, amadodana abo namadodakazi abo,

Kwathi ngomnyaka wesishiyagalolunye wokubusa kwakhe ngenyanga yeshumi, ngolweshumi lwenyanga , kwafika uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, yena nayo yonke impi yakhe , eJerusalema, wamisa malungana nalo, bakha inqaba ngakulo nxazonke.

Kukhuphukela umchithi kuwe; gcina inqaba, ulinde indlela, uqinise izinkalo zakho, uwenze amandla akho ukuba aqine.

Uyakudakwa nawe, ufihlwe; futhi uyakufuna inqaba yokubalekela izitha.

ITire lazakhela inqaba , lanqwabela isiliva njengothuli , negolide elicwengekileyo njengodaka lwasezitaladini.
