4. Mna Nebhukadenetsare, bendichulumachile endlwini yam, ndenile ebhotweni lam.
5. Ndabona iphupha, landothusa; ndaneengcinga esililini sam, nemibono yentloko yam, eyandikhwankqisayo.
6. Ndawisa umthetho wokuthi, zonke izilumko zaseBhabheli maziziswe phambi kwam, ukuba zindazise ukutyhilwa kwephupha elo.
7. Zaza zeza izazi, nabakhwitsi, namaKaledi, namatola; ndabalawulela iphupha; ke abandazisanga ukutyhilwa kwalo.

9. Bheletshatsare, mongameli wezazi, wena ndikwayizo ukuba unomoya woothixo abangcwele, akukho mfihlakalo ikukhohlayo; ndÃtyele imibono yephupha lam endilibonileyo, nokutyhilwa kwalo.
10. Imibono ke yentloko yam esililini sam nantsi: Ndabona, nango umthi usesazulwini sehlabathi; ukuphakama kwawo bekukukhulu.
11. Wakhula umthi, womelela; ukuphakama kwawo kwafikelela ezulwini, nokubonakala kwawo ekupheleni kwehlabathi lonke.
12. Amagqabi awo abemahle, neziqhamo zawo bezizininzi; ubunokudla okwanele iinto zonke. Amarhamncwa asendle abenomthunzi phantsi kwawo, iintaka zezulu zahlala emasebeni awo, yadla kuwo yonke inyama.
