11. ngokuba bheka, ubusika budlulile; imvula isiphelile, yamuka;

12. izimbali ziyabonakala emhlabeni, nesikhathi sokuthena imivini sesisondele, nezwi lehobhe liyezwakala ezweni lakithi.

13. Umkhiwane uthela amakhiwane awo aluhlaza, imivini inezimbali, ithaphuka iphunga layo; vuka, sithandwa sami, muhlekazi wami; woza sihambe.”
