U-Isaya 11:1-16

Kuyakuphuma intonga esizweni sakwaJese, kuhlume ihlumela ezimpandeni zakhe; UMoya kaJehova uyakuba phezu kwakhe, uMoya wokuhlakanipha nowokuqonda, uMoya weseluleko nowamandla, uMoya wokwazi nowokumesaba uJehova; uyakumenza abe nomqondo osheshayo ekumesabeni uJehova; futhi ngeke ahlulele ngokubona kwamehlo akhe, noma ukusola ngokuzwa kwezindlebe zakhe. Kodwa ngobulungisa iyokwahlulela abampofu futhi isole abathobekileyo bomhlaba ngobuqotho; futhi uyoshaya umhlaba ngentonga yomlomo wakhe, futhi ngomoya wezindebe zakhe uyobulala ababi. Ukulunga kuyakuba yibhande lezinkalo zakhe, nokuthembeka kube ibhande lezinkalo zakhe. Impisi iyakuhlala newundlu, ingwe ibuthise nezinyane lembuzi; ithole nebhongo lengonyama nezilwane ezikhuluphalisiweyo kanyekanye; nomntwana omncane uyakuzihola. Inkomo nebhere kuyoklaba; amazinyane azo abuthe ndawonye, ingonyama idle utshani njengenkabi. Omunyayo uyakudlala emgodini webululu, nolunyuliweyo abeke isandla sakhe emgodini. Aziyikulimaza, zingachithi yonke intaba yami engcwele, ngokuba umhlaba uyakugcwala ukumazi uJehova njengamanzi asibekela ulwandle. Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku impande kaJese ime njengebhanela labantu; emva kwalokho abezizwe bayakufuna, nokuphumula kwakhe kuyakuba yinkazimulo. Kuyothi ngalolo suku uJehova aphinde elule isandla sakhe ngokwesibili ensalini yabantu bakhe abasele, kusukela e-Asiriya naseGibhithe, nasePhatirosi, naseKushe, nase-Elamu, naseShineyari, naseShineyari naseShinari. EHamati naseziqhingini zasolwandle. Iyakuphakamisela izizwe ibhanela, ibuthe abaxoshiweyo bakwa-Israyeli, ibuthe abahlakazekileyo bakwaJuda emagumbini omane omhlaba. Umhawu ka-Efrayimi uyomuka, nabamelene noJuda bayonqunywa; U-Efrayimi ngeke amhawukele uJuda, noJuda ngeke amcasule u-Efrayimi. Kepha bayakundizela emahlombe amaFilisti ngasentshonalanga; bayophanga abasempumalanga kanyekanye; bayakubeka isandla sabo phezu kuka-Edomi noMowabi; abantwana bakwa-Amoni bayakubalalela. UJehova uyakushaya ulimi lolwandle lwaseGibithe ngesiqalekiso; futhi ngomoya wakhe onamandla uyoxhawula isandla sakhe phezu komfula futhi awushaye emifuleni eyisikhombisa futhi enze abantu bahambe ngezicathulo ezomile. Kuyakuba khona umgwaqo wensali yabantu bakhe abasala e-Asiriya; njengalokho kwaba njalo ku-Israyeli mhla ekhuphuka ephuma ezweni laseGibithe.
