4 Pakudidime mara saba, níkiwa tayari kwandika, falakini nisikira shauti mbinguni ikamba: “Fisa siiri yausikire nkati ya kudidima ka mara saba‑ko, usandike kinu!”
5 Ikisa laika wanimmonire emire julu ya bahari na nrima ire, akilamusa nkono nriro wake akiloza binguni.

7 Falakini laika wasaba, paasaka kwibiya baramanda yake, Mwenyezimungu atimiza siiri ya mpango wake. Vikuja kukuna sawa‑sawa kamba vyaâwambire minabii, watumisi wake.”
8 Ikisa shauti ya mbinguni yanisikire, ikiludira kusowera nomi ikamba: “Uka, ukatware kitabu cifunuriwe casukure laika emire julu ya bahari na nrima.”
