10. “Niyakukhuluma kanje kuHezekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, nithi: UNkulunkulu wakho omethembayo makangakukhohlisi ngokuthi iJerusalema aliyikunikelwa esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya.
11. Bheka, wena uzwile okwenziwa ngamakhosi ase-Asiriya kuwo onke amazwe ngokuwachitha; pho, wena uyakophulwa na?
12. Onkulunkulu balezo zizwe ezachithwa ngobaba, iGozani, neHarana, neResefi, nabantwana base-Edene ababeseThelasari bazophula na?
13. Iphi inkosi yaseHamati, nenkosi yase-Aripadi, nenkosi yomuzi waseSefarivayimi, naseHena, nase-Iva na?”
14. UHezekiya wayamukela incwadi esandleni sezithunywa, wayifunda; uHezekiya wayesenyukela endlini kaJehova, wayeneka phambi kukaJehova.
15. UHezekiya wakhuleka phambi kukaJehova, wathi:
16. “Jehova Sebawoti, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ohlezi phezu kwamakherubi,* wena unguNkulunkulu, wena wedwa, wemibuso yonke yomhlaba, wena wenzile izulu nomhlaba.
17. Beka indlebe yakho, Jehova, uzwe; vula amehlo akho, Jehova, ubone, uzwe onke amazwi kaSaneheribi athume ukweyisa ngawo uNkulunkulu ophilayo.
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.
