Wahamba kulo lonke iJordani, eshumayela ngombhabhadiso wokuphenduka, bese kuthethelelwa izono, njengalokhu kulotshiwe encwadini yamazwi ku-Izaya, umphrofethi, ukuthi: “Izwi lomemezayo ehlane, lithi: ‘Lungisani indlela yeNkosi, nenze imikhondo yayo iqonde. Izigodi zonke ziyakugqitshwa, zonke izintaba namagquma kuyakuhlelenjwa; kuqonde izinsongansonga, nemigoxigoxi ibe yizindlela ezihlelembekile; abantu bonke bazakuyibona insindiso kaNkulunkulu.’ ”
