1. KwelakwaJuda ngemihla yookumkani u-Uziya, uYotam, uAhazi, noHezekiya, uIsaya unyana ka-Amozi wafumana isityhilelo esivela kuThixo, waza wadanduluka wathetha ngokubhekiselele kwisizwe sakwaJuda neJerusalem, wenjenje:
2. Hoyi-i-i-na! Hoyina, mazulu!Bek' iindlebe, nawe hlabathi!Kaloku *uNdikhoyo uthethe wathi:“Ndakhulis' abantwana ndabondla,kodwa ke ngoku bajike bandivukela.
3. Kambe ke yona inkomo iyamaz' umniniyo,ngokunjalo nedonki iyasazi isibaya sayo.Ukanti ke yena uSirayeli uvalekile;ewe, abantu bam abazi nto tu!”
4. Yeha ke, sizwe samanyundululu,abantu abasuntsubala bubugwenxa,nzalandini yamatshijolo,sizukulwanandini sonakalisayo!Kaloku nikreqile nina kuNdikhoyo,nisuke namdelela uYedwa kaSirayeli;ewe ngenene, nihlehlile namfulathela.
5. Anikaneli kwesingaka sona isohlwayo?Niya kurhoxa nini kolu vukelo?Mhawoo! Intloko seyide yaboko-boko;xa uwonke nomzimba uvikivekile.
6. Phantsi elunyaweni kuye entloko phezulu,hayi konke, kulityufu-tyufu nje!Kuziingongoma, kuziinduma;azicudiswanga, zingakhanyelwanga nangachiza;ewe, khange zikhathalelwe zibotshwe!
7. Nâlo ilizwe lakowenu liyinkangala;okwakuzizixeko kutshe kwaluthuthu.Yonke ke loo nto nikho nibukele.Iintlanga ziwuphangile umhlaba wooyihlo;ewe, ziwubhukuqe zawuvuthulula.
8. Ke yona iJerusalem isele yodwa jwi!Seyifana nephempe esidiliyeni;seyingathi linqugwala emasimini,nqwa nesixeko esingqingiweyo.
