INkosi yayisithi: “Uyabona-ke, sengizobeka intambo yomthofu yokulinganisa phakathi kwabantu bami u-Israyeli angisayukubaxolela.
9“Izindawo eziphakemeyo zika-Isaka ziyakubhidlizwa,
nezindlu zokukhonzela zakwa-Israyeli ziyakudilizwa,
ngiyakubhuqabhuqa indlu kaJerobhowamu ngenkemba yami.”
Ukungqubuzana Kuka-Amose No-Amaziya
10U-Amaziya umphristi waseBhethele wathumela kuJerobhowamu inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, wathi: “U-Amose ukwakhele uzungu kubantu bakwa-Israyeli; izwe alinakumelana nawo wonke amazwi akhe. 11Ngokuba u-Amose ukhulume kanje, wathi:
“UJerobhowamu uyakufa ngenkemba,
u-Israyeli athunjwe impela ezweni lakhe.”
12U-Amaziya wayesethi ku-Amose: “Wena mboni, phuma uphele lapha uye ezweni lakwaJuda, udle khona isinkwa, futhi uphrofethe lapho; 13ungaphindi uphrofethe futhi eBhethele, ngokuba liyindlu engcwele yenkosi, nendlu yombuso.”
14U-Amose waphendula wathi ku-Amaziya: “Angiyena umphrofethi mina, futhi angiyona indodana yomphrofethi, kodwa ngangingumelusi nomlimi wemithombe. 15Kepha uSimakade wangiyekisa ukwelusa umhlambi; wathi kimi: ‘Hamba uphrofethe kubantu bami u-Israyeli.’ 16Ngakho-ke lalela izwi likaSimakade. Wena uthi:
“ ‘Ungaphrofethi ngokumelene no-Israyeli,
ungalokothi uphrofethe okubi ngendlu ka-Isaka.’
17“Ngakholo-ke usho kanje uSimakade, uthi:
“ ‘Umkakho uyakufeba emzini,
amadodana namadodakazi akho
ayakufa ngenkemba,
nezwe lakho liyakulinganiswa ngentambo labiwe,
wena uyakufela ezweni elingcolileyo,
u-Israyeli athunjwe impela ezweni lakhe.’ ”
