11 Ngakho uyise u-Israyeli wathi kubo: “Nxa kunjalo-ke yenzani lokhu: Thathani izinto ezinhle kakhulu eziselizweni lizithwale ngamasaka enu, liphathele indoda leyo isipho:+ lithathe ibhalisamu+ elilingeneyo, loluju oluncane, lenhlaka* enukelelayo, lamaxolo alenhlaka,+ lamazambane okuthiwa ngamaphistakhiyo kanye lama-alimondi.

2 Yafika eJerusalema lezinceku zayo ezinengi kakhulu,+ lamakamela ayethwele amafutha ebhalisamu,+ legolide elinengi kanye lamatshe aligugu. Yahamba kuSolomoni yafika yakhuluma laye ngezinto zonke eyayifuna ukuzazi.

13 UHezekhiya wazemukela kuhle* izithunywa wasezitshengisa konke okwakusendlini okwakugcinelwa kuyo inotho yakhe.+ Wazitshengisa isiliva, legolide, lamafutha ebhalisamu lamanye amafutha aligugu, lezikhali zakhe kanye lakho konke okwakutholakala enothweni yakhe. Akulalutho uHezekhiya angazange azitshengise lona endlini yakhe* lasembusweni wakhe wonke.
