22. Ngubani lo umngcikiva ngezinyeliso ezinje?Uba uthetha nabani ukhwaza nje?Ngubani lo umjonge ungenambeko?Lowo ke nguYedwa kaSirayeli!
23. Wena uthumele izigidimi,uNdikhoyo wamfumba ngezithuko;kaloku ugcolode wathi:“Mna ndinenyambalala yeenqwelo;ngazo ndiqabel' iintab' eziphakamileyo,loo malenga-lenga aseLebhanon.Ndiyigawule imisedare yayo emidenaloo mipayini yayo ingayiwayo.De ndafikelela nasekudeni,nditsho esitsikolweni sehlathi.
24. Ndimbe amaqula kumazwe eentlanga,ndaza ke ndasela amanzi khona.Ndingqishe ngonyawo kuphela,yatsho yoma yonke imithomb' eJiputa.”
25. “ ‘Ngaba awuzange uve na;ukuba le nto yamiselwa ndim,ukuba sekuntsuku ndayicwangcisayole nto yenzekayo namhlanje,ukuba wena udilize izixeko ezinqatyisiweyo,uzivuthulule zitsho zibe ngamabhodlo?
26. Abemi bazo baphelelwe ngamandla;bathe nkamalala, basezintlonini.Nqwa nomfino emasimini phayangathi zizithombo ezithukuzayo,ngathi yingc' entshula phezu kwendlu,esuk' itshe ingakhulanga nokukhula.
27. “ ‘Kambe ke ndikwazi kakuhle,ndikwazi ukusuka nokuhlalanamagwevu okundivukela kwakho.
28. Kaloku wena uzimisele ukulwa nam.Ndivile nangokundinyelisa kwakho.Ndiza kukuqhobosha impumlo,ndikufake umkhala emlonyeni,ndikubuyisele aph' ubuvela khona.’
29. “Nanku ke umqondiso wakho, Hezekiya:“ ‘Kulo nyaka uya kutya ummilela,kowesibini utye ummilela wommilela,kowesithathu ke uhlwayele uvuneutyale izidiliya, utye iziqhamo zazo.
30. Ophinda ke amasalela endlu kaJuda amile;ewe, aya kuzika ade azinze,aqhelezele yinkqubela abe njeyaa.
31. Kaloku lona lophuma eJerusalem;losuka lithi gqi qhaphu ihlumelo.Lothi nyalulu kwintaba iZiyon;nditsho iqela labo babhungcileyo.Ewe, uNdikhoyo uSomandla uzimisele,yaye ke eya kuyifezekisa loo nto.’
32. “Ewe, uNdikhoyo uthetha ngolu hlobo mayela nokumkani waseAsiriya:“ ‘Akasoze angene kwesi sixeko,engayi kudubula lutolo apha.Akasoze eze phambi kwaso,engayi kusihlanganisela ngakhaka.Akasayi kwakha asingqinge esi sixeko.
33. Ewe, wobuya agoduke kwangendlela ebeze ngayo.Soze angene kwesi isixeko!Nditshilo nje mna Ndikhoyo, nditshilo.
34. Ndiya kusihlanganisela esi sixeko;ewe, mna ndiya kusihlangula.Ngenxa yesidima segama lam,nangenxa yesicaka sam uDavide,yonke loo nto ndiya kuyenza.’ ”
35. Ngobo busuku ke isithunywa sikaNdikhoyo saya kumkhosi wama-Asiriya, safika sabulala amadoda alikhulu mashumi asibhozo anantlanu amawaka. Bathe ke bakuvuka ngentsasa elandelayo bazibona izidumbu zithe gangalala!
36. Ngoko ke uSenakeribhe, ukumkani waseAsiriya, wazichitha warhoxa, wabuyela eNiniva, wahlala khona.
37. Ngamhla uthile ke uthe esanqula kwindlu yothixo wakhe uNiseroki, suka oonyana bakhe uAdrameleki noSharezere bamhlasela, bambulala ngekrele, baza ke babalekela kwelaseArarati. Ke uEsaridon, omnye koonyana bakhe, wangena esikhundleni sakhe, wangukumkani.
