,} ^aq, ukuze bamnike amabhiza labantu abanengi ^ar. Uzaphumelela yini ^as? Owenza lezizinto uzaphepha yini? Kumbe angasephula isivumelwano aphephe yini ^at? 16 Kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi uJehova ^au, isibili endaweni yenkosi ^av, embeka ukuthi abe yinkosi ^aw, osifungo sayo wasidelela ^ax, losivumelwano sayo wasephula ^ay, uzakufa layo phakathi kweBhabhiloni ^az. 17 Njalo ^ba uFaro, lebutho elilamandla lexuku elikhulu ^bb, kayikumsiza empini ngokubuthelela idundulu ^bc langokwakha inqaba ^bd, ukuquma abantu abanengi. 18 Ngoba edelele isifungo ^be ngokwephula isivumelwano ^bf, lapho, khangela, esenikele isandla sakhe ^bg, wazenza zonke lezizinto, kayikuphunyuka ^bh.
