IJerusalema elisha
1Wayesengikhombisa umfula wamanzi okuphila ucwebezela njengekristalu*, uvela esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu neseWundlu.
2Phakathi kwesitaladi sawo nomfula emaceleni omabili kukhona umuthi wokuphila, uthela izithelo eziyishumi nambili, uthela izithelo zawo izinyanga ngezinyanga, namaqabunga omuthi angawokuphulukisa izizwe.
3Akusayikuba-khona nokukodwa ukuqalekisa. Isihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu neseWundlu siyakuba-kuwo, nezinceku zakhe ziyakumkhonza,
4zibone ubuso bakhe, negama lakhe liyakuba-semabunzini azo.
5Ubusuku abusayikuba-khona; abadingi ukukhanya kwesibani nokukhanya kwelanga, ngokuba iNkosi uNkulunkulu iyakubakhanyisela; bayakubusa phakade naphakade.

11Ongalungile makenze njalo okungalungile, nongcolileyo makazingcolise njalo, kepha olungileyo makenze njalo ukulunga, nongcwele makazingcwelise njalo.
