U-Izaya 14:12-17

“Yeka ukuwa kwakho ezulwini, khwezi elikhanyayo, ndodana yokusa, nokuqunjwa kwakho phansi, wena owawunqoba izizwe. Wena wathi enhliziyweni yakho: ‘Ngiyokhuphukela ezulwini, ngiphakamise isihlalo sami sobukhosi phezu kwezinkanyezi zikaNkulunkulu; ngiyohlala entabeni yomhlangano ngasemaphethelweni aseZafoni. Ngiyokhuphuka ezindaweni eziphakemeyo phezu kwamafu, ngizenze ngibe njengoPhezukonke.’ Nokho wehliselwe endaweni yabafileyo, emajukujukwini omgodi. “Abakubonayo bayokubhekisisa, bakuqaphelisise, bese bethi: ‘Nguye yini lo muntu owazamazamisa umhlaba, wanyakazisa imibuso, owenza izwe laba yihlane, wabhubhisa imizi yalo, akazivumela iziboshwa ukuba zibuyele emakhaya na?’
