Inyawo zawo zizawuthwalela khatshana ukuyahlala njengowezizwe. 8Ngubani oweluleke lokhu ngeTire, omethesi womqhele, obathengisi s bayo bayiziphathamandla, obathengiselani bayo ngabadumileyo emhlabeni? 9INkosi yamabandla ikucebisile lokhu, ukonakalisa ukuzigqaja kodumo t lonke, ukwenza badeleleke u bonke abadumileyo bomhlaba. 10Dabula ilizwe lakho njengomfula v, ndodakazi yeTarshishi w; akuselamandla x. 11Yelulele isandla sayo phezu kolwandle, inyikinye imibuso y; iNkosi ilayezile imelene leKhanani, ukuchitha inqaba zayo. 12Yasisithi: Kawusayikuphinda ujabule, ntombi emsulwa ecindezelweyo, ndodakazi yeSidoni; eKhithimu z sukuma uchaphe; lakhona kakuyikuba lokuphumula kuwe. 13Khangela ilizwe lamaKhaladiya aa; lesisizwe sasingekho; amaSiriya asisekelela bona abahlala enkangala ab; amisa imiphotshongo yawo yokuvimbezela ac, abhidliza izigodlo zalo; alenza laba lunxiwa ad. 14Qhinqani isililo, mikhumbi yeTarshishi ae, ngoba inqaba yenu ichithekile.
