3 Nje-ke uJehova wathi: “Njengombana incekwami u-Isaya yakhamba ihlubule begodu ingakafaki litho eenyaweni iminyaka emithathu njengetshwayo+ nesibonakaliso ngokujamelene neGibhide+ neTopiya,+ 4 yeke ikosi ye-Asiriya izokudosa phambili abathunjiweko beGibhide+ nabadingisiweko beTopiya, abesana namadoda amadala, bahlubule begodu bangakafaki litho eenyaweni namahlalwabo angaphandle, ihlazo leGibhide.

25 UJehova wamabutho, uZimu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Nje ngijezisa u-Amoni+ ovela eNo,*+ kuFaro, eGibhide, kibozimu bakhe+ nemakhosinakhe, iye kuFaro nabo boke abathembela kuye.’+

26 “‘Ngizobanikela kilabo abafuna ukubabulala, ekosini uNebukadinetsari* yeBhabhiloni+ neensebenzini zakhe. Ngemva kwalokho kuzokuba nabantu abahlala kiyo njengeenkhathini zakade,’ kutjho uJehova.+

19 “Nje-ke nakhu iKosi ePhakemeko uJehova ekutjhoko, ‘Qala! Nginikela inarha yeGibhide eKosini yeBhabhiloni uNebukadinetsari,*+ izokuthatha umnothwayo, ithathe nezinto zayo ezinengi; zizokuba mrholo wamabuthwayo.’
