౧౭ప్రజలు యెహోవా దృష్టికి పాపం చేశారు గనక నేను వారి మీదికి ఉపద్రవం రప్పించబోతున్నాను. వారు గుడ్డివారిలాగా నడుస్తారు. వారి రక్తం దుమ్ములాగా ఒలికిపోతుంది. వారి మాంసాన్ని పెంటలాగా పారేస్తారు.
18 ၁၈ ထာဝရဘုရား အမျက် ထွက်တော်မူသောနေ့ ၌ သူ တို့ရွှေ ငွေ သည် သူ တို့ကို မ ကယ်တင် နိုင် ရာ။ ဒေါသ အမျက်တော်မီး သည် တပြည်လုံး ကို လောင် လိမ့်မည်။ ပြည်သူ ပြည်သားအပေါင်း တို့ကို အလျင်အမြန် စီရင် ၍ အကုန်အစင် သုတ်သင်ပယ်ရှင်းတော်မူလိမ့်မည်။
