Kungenxa yoko le nto kukho intetho ethi: “Kanye njengoNimrodi umzingeli onamandla ngokuchasene noYehova.”+ 10 Ubukumkani bakhe baqala eBhabheli+ nase-Erek+ naseAkadi naseKalene, ezweni laseShinare.+ 11 Waphuma kwelo lizwe waya eAsiriya+ waza wakha iNineve+ neRehobhoti-Ire neKala 12 neResen phakathi kweNineve neKala: siso ke eso isixeko esikhulu.
