1 Emveni kwezi zinto noku kunyanisa, weza uSaneribhe, ukumkani waseAsiriya, walingenela elakwaYuda, wangqinga imizi enqatyisiweyo; wathi uya kuzigqobhozela.
2 Wathi uHezekiya, akubona ukuba uyeza uSaneribe, ubuso bakhe ebubhekise ekulweni neYerusalem,
3 wacebisana nabathetheli bakhe namagorha akhe, ukuba bawavale amanzi emithombo engaphandle komzi; bamnceda ke.
4 Kwabuthelana abantu abaninzi, bawavala onke amaso emithombo, nomlanjana obuqukuqela phakathi kwelizwe; bathi, Yini na ukuba ookumkani baseAsiriya beze bafumane amanzi amaninzi?
5 Wazomeleza, walwakha lonke udonga olwaludiliziwe, wenyusa iinqaba ezinde phezu kwalo, wákha nolunye udonga ngaphandle, wayiqinisela iMilo yomzi kaDavide, wenza izikhali neengweletshetshe ezininzi.
