18 “Yiqiniso, Jehova; amakhosi ase-Asiriya achithile izizwe zonke namazwe azo,
19 alahlile onkulunkulu bawo emlilweni, ngokuba babengesibo onkulunkulu, babe ngumsebenzi wezandla zomuntu kuphela, umuthi namatshe; ngalokho abachithile.
20 Manje, Jehova Nkulunkulu wethu, sisindise esandleni sakhe ukuba yonke imibuso yomhlaba yazi ukuthi wena unguJehova, wena wedwa.”
21 U-Isaya indodana ka-Amose wathumela kuHezekiya, wathi: “Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Njengalokhu ukhuleke kimi ngoSaneheribi inkosi yase-Asiriya,
22 nanti izwi uJehova alikhulume ngaye ukuthi:“Ikudelele, yakuhleka usulu intombi,indodakazi yaseSiyoni;ikunikinele ikhanda indodakazi yaseJerusalema.
23 Weyise bani, wethuka bani, na?Uphakamisele bani izwi lakho,wabhekisa phezulu amehlo akho, na?NgoNgcwele ka-Israyeli!
24 Ngesandla sezinceku zakhouyijivazile iNkosi, wathi:‘Ngobuningi bezinqola zamingenyuke mina phezulu ezintabeningaphakathi kweLebanoni;ngigawula imisedari* yalo emidenemisayipuresi* yalo ekhethekileyongangena ekuphakameni kwalo kokugcinanasehlathini lalo eliminyeneyo.
