4. ngenene andisoze ndiwavale amehlo,ndingasoze ndibuthurhe ubuthongo,
5. ndingamakhelanga umzi uNdikhoyo,nditsho ikhaya lengangalala kaYakobi.”
6. Ewe, seva ngaloo mnqophiso e-Efrata,sagagana nawo kumathafa aseYeharim, sathi:

15. Ndiya kuyithi jize ngentabalala yendyebo;abahlelelekileyo ndiya kubondla.
16. Ababingeleli bovatha usindiso,abantu bam batsholoze ngemihlali.
