Umbusi esemqhwebile ukuba akhulume , uPawulu waphendula wathi : Lokhu ngiyazi ukuthi sekuyiminyaka eminingi ungumahluleli kulesi sizw e, ngiyaziphendulela ngesibindi;

ngokuba inhliziyo yalesi sizw e seyaba buthuntu ; bezwa kanzima ngezindlebe, amehlo abo bawacimezile, funa mhlawumbe babone ngamehlo , bezwe ngezindlebe, baqonde ngenhliziyo, baphenduke, ngibaphilise.

Wayesethatha uHagayi , wathi: Banjalo laba bantu , sinjalo lesi sizw e ngaphambi kwami , usho uJehova ; injalo futhi yonke imisebenzi yezandla zabo; nalokhu abakusondeza khona kungcolile.

Ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwe-Elamu imimoya emine emikhawulweni yomine yezulu, ngibahlakazele kuyo yonke leyo mimoya , kungabe kusabakho sizw e lapho abaxoshiweyo base-Elamu bengayikufika khona.
