Kwembulwe kubo besezweni laseKitimi. 2 Thulani nina abakhileyo ezweni elingasogwini. Abathengisi baseSidoni, abawela ulwandlebanigcwalisile. 3 Imbewu yaseShihori ibisemanzini amaningi, isivuno saseNayile, inzuzo yalo; yaba yimbuyiselo yezizwe. 4 Yiba namahloni Sidoni; ngoba ulwandle wena siphephelo sasolwandle, luthe: Angizange ngisikwe, futhi angizange ngizale, futhi angizange ngikhulise izinsizwa, noma izintombi. 5 Njengalapho kufika umbiko ophathelene neGibhithe, kanjalo abantu bayoba sezinhlungwini ezinzima ngombiko ophathelene neThire. 6 Welelani eTharishishi; hewulani, nina bakhileyo ezweni elingasogwini. 7 Ingabe yiwo lo umuzi wenu owawuthabile kusukela ezinsukwini zakudala, kusukela ezikhathini zawo zangaphambili? Izinyawo zawo zazivame ukuwuyisa kude ukuba uyogogobala khona. 8 Ngubani okhiphé lesi sinqumo ngeThire, lona elethwesa imiqhele, elibathengisi balo babeyizikhulu, elibahwebi balo babengabanodumo emhlabeni? 9 NguJehova wamabutho ngokwakhe okhiphé lesi sinqumo, ukuze kungcoliswe ukuziqhenya kwabo bonke ubuhle, ukuze baphathwe ngendelelo bonke abanodumo basemhlabeni. 10 Dabula izwe lakini njengoMfula iNayile ndodakazi yaseTharishishi. Alisekho igceke lemikhumbi. 11 Welulele isandla sakhe phezu kolwandle; ubangele imibuso ukuba iyaluze. UJehova ngokwakhe ukhiphe umyalo ngeFenike, ukuba kubhuqwe iziphephelo zalo. 12 Futhi uthi: Ungaphinde wethabe, wena ocindezelweyo, ndodakazi eyintombi yaseSidoni. Sukuma, welela eKitimi. Ngisho nalapho ngeke ube nakuphumula. 13 Bheka! Izwe lamaKhaledi. Lesi isizwei-Asiriya alibanga yisoesalisekela ukuba libe elezinzinga-zingwadule. Simisé imibhoshongo yaso yokuvimbezela; siphundlé imibhoshongo yalo yokuhlala; umuntu ulenzé laba yincithakalo ebhidlikayo. 14 Hewulani, nina mikhumbi yaseTharishishi, ngoba isiphephelo senu siphangiwe. 15 Kuyothi ngalolo suku iThire lilitshalwe iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa, njengezinsuku zenkosi eyodwa. Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa iThire liyokwehlelwa okunjengokushiwo engomeni yesifebe: 16 Thatha ihabhu, zungeza umuzi sifebe esilitshelwe. Yenza okusemandleni akho ekubetheni izintambo; yandisa izingoma zakho, ukuze ukhunjulwe. 17 Kuyothi ekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa uJehova alinake iThire, futhi liyobuyela enkokhelweni yalo yokuqashwa lifebe nayo yonke imibuso yomhlaba esebusweni bomhlaba. 18 Futhi imbuyiselo yalo nenkokhelo yokuqashwa kwalo kuyoba yinto engcwele kuJehova. Ngeke ibekelelwe, noma iqongelelwe, ngoba inkokhelo yokuqashwa kwalo iyoba ngeyalabo abahlala phambi kukaJehova, ukuba badle baneliseke futhi bazembathise ngokuhle.
