17 Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi nambili, ngolweshumi nanhlanu lwenyanga, izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
18 “Ndodana yomuntu, khalela isixuku saseGibithe, usehlisele ezindaweni eziphansi komhlaba, sona namadodakazi ezizwe ezidumileyo, kanye nabehlela egodini.
19 Udlula bani ngobuhle na? Yehla, ulaliswe phakathi kwabangasokile.
20 Bayakuwa phakathi kwabagwazwe ngenkemba; linikelwe enkembeni; lihuduleni nazo zonke izixuku zalo.
21 Abanamandla bamaqhawe bayakukhuluma ngalo nangabasizi balo, bephakathi kwendawo yabafileyo, bathi: ‘Sebehlile, sebelele abangasokile, bebulewe ngenkemba.’
22 “Lapho kukhona i-Asiriya neviyo lalo lonke, amathuna alo engakulo nxazonke, bonke bebulewe bewe ngenkemba,
23 amathuna alo engaphakathi kwegodi, iviyo lalo lizungeza ithuna nxazonke, bonke balo bebulewe bewe ngenkemba, labo ababebanga ukuba besatshwe ezweni labaphilayo.
