¹ Israyeli, buyela kuSimakade uNkulunkulu wakho, ngokuba ukhubekile ngenxa yobubi bakho.

² Thathani amazwi, nibuyele kuSimakade, nithi kuye: “Thethelela zonke iziphambeko, uthathe amazwi ethu, ukuze sinikele ngemilomo yethu ibe njengemihlatshelo yezinkunzi.

³ I-Asiriya aliyukusisindisa, ngeke siwagibele amahhashi, asisayukusho futhi kuyo imisebenzi yezandla zethu ukuthi onkulunkulu bethu, ngokuba nguwe ohawukela intandane.”

USimakade Wethembisa U-Israyeli Impilo Entsha

⁴ Ngiyakwelapha ukuhlubuka kwabo, ngibathande ngokukhululeka, ngokuba intukuthelo yami isukile kubo.

⁵ Ngiyakuba njengamazolo ku-Israyeli, uyakuqhakaza njengomnduze, agxilise izimpande zakhe njengeLebhanoni.

⁶ Amahlumela akhe ayokwenaba, ubuhle bakhe bube njengomnqumo, iphunga lakhe liyakuba njengemisedari yaseLebhanoni.

⁷ Bayakubuya, bahlale emthunzini wakhe, bachume njengokusanhlamvu, baqhakaze njengomvini, udumo lwabo lube njengewayini laseLebhanoni.

⁸ U-Efrayimi uyakuthi: “Zizongenzelani nje izithombe ezibaziweyo na? Mina ngiyakuphendula, ngimnakekele. Mina nginjengomsayiphuresi oluhlaza, izithelo zakho zifunyanwa kimi.”

⁹ Ngubani ohlakaniphileyo na? Uyakuziqonda lezi zinto. Ngubani onengqondo na? Uyakuzazi lezi zinto. Ngokuba izindlela zikaSimakade zilungile; abalungileyo bahamba ngazo, kodwa abaphambukayo bayakhubeka kuzo.
