19. Bathetha ngoThixo weYerusalem njengoothixo bezizwe zehlabathi, umsebenzi wezandla zabantu.
20. Bathandaza ke uHezekiya ukumkani, noIsaya unyana ka-Amotsi, umprofeti, ngenxa yoko; bakhala, basingisa emazulwini.
21. UYehova wathuma isithunywa sezulu, sawenza athi shwaka onke amagorha anobukroti, neengànga, nabathetheli, emkhosini wokumkani waseAsiriya. Wabuya, ubuso bakhe buthe khunubembe, waya ezweni lakhe. Wangena endlwini yothixo wakhe; bathi ababephume ezibilinini zakhe bamwisa khona ngekrele.
22. UYehova wamsindisa ke uHezekiya nabemi baseYerusalem esandleni sikaSaneribhe ukumkani waseAsiriya, nasesandleni sabangabambi; wabakhusela ngeenxa zonke.
