1. Izwi likaJehova elafika kuMika waseMoresheti ezinsukwini zikaJothamu, no-Ahazi, noHezekiya, amakhosi akwaJuda, owalibona ngeSamariya neJerusalema.
2. Zwanini, bantu bonke,uqaphele, mhlaba nokugcwala kwakho,iNkosi uJehova ibe ngufakazi ngani,iNkosi isethempelini layo elingcwele.

4. Izintaba ziyakuncibilika phansi kwakhe,nezigodi ziyakuqhekezekanjengengcina phambi komlilo,njengamanzi athululwe emaweni.
5. Konke lokhu kungenxa yesiphambeko sikaJakobenangezono zendlu yakwa-Israyeli.Siyini isiphambeko sikaJakobe?Asiyilo iSamariya na?Ziyini izindawo eziphakemeyo zakwaJuda?Aziyilo iJerusalema na?
6. “Ngiyakwenza iSamariya libe yizihlephu zasendlenendawo yokutshala izivini,ngiqulele amatshe alo esigodini,ngambule isisekelo salo.
7. Zonke izithombe zalo ezibaziweyo ziyakwaphulwa,nakho konke elikukhokhelweyo kuyakushiswa ngomlilo,nayo yonke imifanekiso ngiyakuyenza ukuba ibe yincithakalo,ngokuba likuqoqile ngenkokhelo yobufebe;kuyakubuye kube yinkokhelo yobufebe.”
8. Ngenxa yalokho ngiyakukhala,ngihhewule,ngihambe ngihlutshuliwe,ngihamba ze;ngenze isililo njengamakhanka,ngikhale njengezintshe.
9. Ngokuba amanxeba alo awanakuphulukiswa,lokhu sekufikile nakwaJuda,kufinyelela esangweni labantu bami naseJerusalema.
10. Ningakulandisi eGati, ningakhali e-Akha;eBeti Afera huquzelani othulini.

14. Ngalokho uyakupha iMoresheti Gati isipho sokuvalelisana;izindlu zase-Akizibi ziyakuba yinkohliso kuwo amakhosi akwa-Israyeli.
15. Ngisezakwehlisa phezu kwenuenakhileyo eMaresha oyakunidla:udumo luka-Israyeli luyakufika e-Adulamu.
16. Ziphucule,zigunde ngenxa yabantwana bokwenama kwakho,wandise ubumpandla bakho njengenqe,ngokuba bayakuthunjwa kuwe.
