UHabakuki 1:12-17

Wena Jehova, Nkulunkulu wami, oNgcwele wami, awungowaphakade na? ngeke sife. Jehova, wabamisela ukwahlulela; futhi, O Nkulunkulu onamandla, wabaqinisekisa ukuba baqondiswe. Unamehlo ahlanzekile kunokuba ubuke okubi, futhi awukwazi ukubona ububi; Ubabhekelani abakhohlisayo, ubambe ulimi lwakho, lapho omubi edla olungile kunaye, na? Wenza abantu babe njengezinhlanzi zolwandle, njengezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo ezingenambusi phezu kwazo? Bayabaphakamisa bonke ngengwegwe, bababambe emanetheni abo, babaqoqe emanetheni abo; ngalokho bayajabula, bajabule. Ngakho bayazihlabela bona kuphela, kuqhamuke intuthu ekuhuduleni kwabo; ngokuba isabelo sabo sinonile kanye nokudla kwabo kuchichima. Khona-ke ingabe bayothulula inetha labo futhi bayeke umzamo wokubulala izizwe?
