23Ndianiko wawatuka uye ukamhura?
Ndianiko wawasimudzira inzwi rako,

Ndiye Mutsvene waIsraeri!
24Navaranda vako watutira
kutuka pamusoro paIshe.
Uye wakati,
‘Nengoro dzangu zhinji
ndakakwira makomo marefu,
kumusoro-soro kweRebhanoni.
Ndakatema misidhari yayo mirefu refu,
nemisipuresi yayo yakanakisisa.
Ndakasvika kumusoro-soro kwayo,
nokumasango ayo akanakisisa.
25Ndakachera matsime munyika yavamwe,
ndikanwa mvura imomo.
Netsoka dzangu
ndakapwisa hova dzose dzeIjipiti.’
26“Hauna kunzwa here?
Izvi ndakazviita kare.
Ndakazvironga pamazuva akare;
zvino ndaita kuti zviitike,
nokuti wakaparadza maguta akakomberedzwa
akava mirwi yamatombo.
27Vanhu vawo, vapererwa nesimba,
vavhundutswa uye vanyadziswa.
Vafanana nembeu mumunda,
namabukira manyoro,
sebundo ramera padenga remba,
ratsva risati rakura.
28“Asi ndinoziva paunogara
uye nguva yaunouya neyaunoenda
uye kuti unondiitira hasha zvakadii.
29Nokuda kwehasha dzako kwandiri
uye nokuda kwokuti kusateerera kwako kwasvika munzeve dzangu,
ndichaisa chiredzo changu mumhuno dzako
namatomu angu mumuromo mako,
uye ndichaita kuti udzokere
nenzira yawakauya nayo.
30“Ichi ndicho chichava chiratidzo kuvarwi, iwe Hezekia:
“Gore rino muchadya zvinomera zvoga,
uye mugore rinotevera muchadya mabukira azvo.
Asi mugore rechitatu mudyare mugokohwa,
mudyare minda yemizambiringa mugodya michero yayo.
31Zvakare, vakasara veimba yaJudha vachava nemidzi pasi
uye vachabereka michero kumusoro.
32Nokuti muJerusarema muchabuda vachasara,
uye muZioni muchabuda boka ravachapunyuka.
Kushingaira kwaJehovha
kuchazviita.
33“Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha pamusoro pamambo weAsiria,
“Haazopindi muguta iri
kana kupfura museve pano.
Haazosviki mberi kwaro nenhoo
kana kuvaka gomo revhu pariri.
34Achadzokera nenzira yaakauya nayo;
haazopindi muguta rino,”
ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
35“Ndichadzivirira guta rino uye ndichariponesa,
nokuda kwangu uye nokuda kwaDhavhidhi muranda wangu!”

38Mumwe musi achinamata ari mutemberi yamwari wake Nisiroki, Adhiramereki naSharezeri, vanakomana vake vakamuuraya nomunondo, ndokutizira kunyika yeArarati. Mwanakomana waEsarihadhoni akamutevera paushe.
