U-Izaya 40:1-5

Duduzani, nibaduduze abantu bami, kusho uNkulunkulu wenu. Liqungeni isibindi iJerusalema, nimemezele kulo ukuthi ukulwa kwalo sekuphelile, nobubi balo buhlanguliwe, ngokuba lamukele kuSimakade isijeziso ngokuphindiwe ngenxa yazo zonke izono zalo. Izwi liyamemeza, lithi: “Lungisani indlela kaSimakade ehlane, nihlelembe umgwaqo kaNkulunkulu wethu ongcwele. Zonke izigodi ziyophakanyiswa, zonke izintaba namagquma kuyokwehliswa; amagebhugebhu ayakuhlelenjwa, nemigoxigoxi iyakuba yithafa. Inkazimulo kaSimakade iyobonakaliswa, bonke abantu bayakuyibona kanyekanye ngokuba umlomo kaSimakade ukhulumile.”
