U-Isaya 16

¹Thumelani izimvu njengendlela yokuhlonipha

²Njengenyoni ephaphazelayo

³UMowabi uthi, “Zinzisani ingqondo zenu

⁴Vumelani iziphepheli zamaMowabi zihlale kini;

⁵Ngothando, kuzamiswa isihlalo sobukhosi;

⁶Sizwile ngokuzigqaja kukaMowabi.

⁷Ngakho-ke abaseMowabi bayalila,

⁸Amasimu aseHeshibhoni ayabuna,

⁹Ngakho ngiyakhala njengalokhu iJazeri ikhala,

¹⁰Ukuthokoza lokuthaba akusekho ezivinini;

¹¹Inhliziyo yami ikhalela uMowabi njengechacho,

¹²Lapho uMowabi evela endaweni yakhe ephakemeyo

¹³Leli yilizwi uThixo avele eselikhulumile ngoMowabi.

¹⁴Kodwa khathesi uThixo uthi: “Phakathi kweminyaka emithathu, njengesisebenzi esibotshwe yisivumelwano singayibala, udumo lukaMowabi labantu bakhe bonke abanengi kuzakweyiswa, njalo abazasinda bakhona bazakuba balutshwana kakhulu njalo bengelamandla.”
