Miingon pa ang  Ginoo, “Pamati! Ania na sa akong atubangan ang sinulat ko nga hukom batok sa akong katawhan. Dili ako magpakahilom, hinuon manimalos ako. Panimaslan ko gayod sila. Pabayron ko sila sa tanan nilang mga sala ug sa mga sala sa ilang mga katigulangan. Kay nagsunog man silag insenso ug nagpasipala kanako didto sa mga bukid ug mga bungtod, panimaslan ko sila tugbang sa ilang gipanghimo.”
