U-Elisha wabuyela eGiligali ; kwakukhona indlala kulelo zwe ; amadodana abaprofethi ayehlezi phambi kwakhe ; wathi encekwini yakhe: Bheka ikhanzi elikhulu, uphekele amadodana abaprofethi ukudla.

Wayesethatha ikhanzi, wawathulula phambi kwakhe; kepha wala ukudla. U- Amnoni wathi: Khipha bonke abantu kimi. Baphuma bonke kuye.

Fanekisa ngomfanekiso kuyo indlu ehlubukayo, uthi kubo: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Beka ikhanzi, libeke, uthele amanzi kulo,

Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Maye kumuzi wezingazi , kulo ikhanzi elinokugqwala, nokugqwala kwalo kungaphumanga kulo ! Khipha kulo izinqamu ngezinqamu; alidliwanga yinkatho.

Lase lifika kimi izwi likaJehova ngokwesibili , lithi: Ubonani na ? Ngathi: Ngibona ikhanzi elibilayo. Ubuso balo bungasenyakatho.

Konke esiwela kukho isidumbu sazo kuyakuba ngokungcolile , noma iziko noma ikhanzi; makuphohlozwe; kungcolile, kuyakuba ngokungcolile kini.
