Context
16“Lakini sasa nitawaagiza wavuvi wengi,” asema Bwana, “nao watawavua. Baada ya hilo, nitawaagizia wawindaji wengi, nao watawawinda kwenye kila mlima na kilima, na katika nyufa za miamba. 17Macho yangu yanaziona njia zao zote, hazikufichika kwangu, wala dhambi yao haikusitirika. 18Nitawalipiza maradufu kwa ajili ya uovu wao na dhambi yao, kwa sababu wameinajisi nchi yangu kwa maumbo yasiyo na uhai ya vinyago vyao vibaya, na kuujaza urithi wangu na sanamu za kuchukiza.” 19Ee Bwana, nguvu zangu na ngome yangu,
kimbilio langu wakati wa taabu,
kwako mataifa yatakujia
kutoka miisho ya dunia na kusema,
“Baba zetu hawakuwa na chochote zaidi ya miungu ya uongo,
sanamu zisizofaa kitu
ambazo hazikuwafaidia lolote. 20Je, watu hujitengenezea miungu yao wenyewe?
Naam, lakini hao si miungu!”
