3 UJehova wasesithi: “Njengoba nje inceku yami u-Isaya ibihamba nqunu njalo ingagqokanga lutho enyaweni okweminyaka emithathu ukuze kube yisixwayiso+ lesibonakaliso salokho okuzakwenzakala eGibhithe+ laseTopiya,+ 4 inkosi yase-Asiriya izakhokhela abaseGibhithe abathunjiweyo+ labaseTopiya abaxotshwe elizweni labo, abadala labafana. Bazahamba benqunu njalo bengagqokanga lutho enyaweni, izihlalo zisegcekeni, ubunqunu beGibhithe busegcekeni.*

25 “UJehova wamabutho, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: ‘Khathesi sengifuna ukujezisa u-Amoni+ waseNo,*+ loFaro, leGibhithe, labonkulunkulu bayo+ kanye lamakhosi ayo. Ngizamjezisa sibili uFaro labo bonke abathembele kuye.’+

26 “‘Ngizabanikela kulabo abafuna ukubabulala, kuNebhukhadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni+ lasezincekwini zakhe. Kodwa ngemva kwalokho iGibhithe izaphinda ihlalwe njengakudala,’ kutsho uJehova.+

19 “Ngakho nanku okutshiwo yiNkosi Enkulu uJehova, ‘Ngizanika uNebhukhadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni+ ilizwe leGibhithe futhi uzathatha inotho yalo lempahla enengi. Yikho okuzakuba yimbadalo yebutho lakhe.’
