17. UYehova uya kukuzisela wena nabantu bakho, nendlu kayihlo, imihla ekungazanga kubekho ingangayo, kususela kwimini wemka ngayo uEfrayim kwaYuda; ngukumkani waseAsiriya ke lowo.
18. Kothi ngaloo mini uYehova ayenzele ikhwelo impukane esekupheleni kwemijelo yoMnayile waseYiputa, nenyosi esezweni laseAsiriya;
19. zize, ziphumle zonke ziphela ezihlanjeni eziphakathi kwamaxandeka, nasezimfanteni zeengxondorha, nasezintangweni zonke zemiqaqoba, nasemadlelweni onke.
20. Ngaloo mini iNkosi iya kuguya ngesitshetshe esiqeshiweyo selasezinxwemeni zoMlambo,* ngokumkani waseAsiriya, intloko noboya beenyawo; siphephethe neendevu.
21. Kothi ngaloo mini umntu aphilise ithokazi lenkomo neemazi zezimvu zibe mbini;
22. kuthi ngokwehlisa kwazo kakhulu adle amasi; ngokuba baya kudla amasi nobusi bonke abo baseleyo phakathi kwelizwe.
23. Kothi ngaloo mini zonke iindawo ezazinewaka lemidiliya elimelwe liwaka leesilivere, zibe zezobobo namakhakakhaka.
24. Kuya kuyiwa khona neentolo nezaphetha; ngokuba lonke ilizwe liya kuba lubobo namakhakakhaka.
25. Zonke iintaba ebezigatywa ngamagaba, akuyi kuya kuzo, ngokoyika ubobo namakhakakhaka; loba lelokugxothela iinkomo, nokunyashwa ziigusha.
