U-Isaya 35:1-10

Kuyakujabula ihlane nogwadule, kuthokoze uqwathule, lukhahlele njengentebe. Luyakukhahlela kahle, luthokoze, yebo, luthokoze, luhube; luyakuphiwa udumo lweLebanoni, nobukhosi beKarmeli nobeSharoni, lubone inkazimulo kaJehova, nobukhosi bukaNkulunkulu wethu. Qinisani izandla ezibuthakathaka, nimise amadolo axegayo. Yishoni kwabanenhliziyo eyesabayo ukuthi: “Qinani, ningesabi; bhekani, uNkulunkulu wenu uyeza ngokuphindisela, impindiselo ivela kuNkulunkulu; nguye oza ukunisindisa.” Khona amehlo ezimpumputhe ayakuvulwa, zivuleke nezindlebe zezithulu. Khona unyonga luyakutshekula njengendluzele, nolimi lwesimungulu luyakuhuba, ngokuba ehlane kuyakubhoboka amanzi, nemifudlana kwahlongasibi. Isihlabathi esibengezelayo siyakuba yichibi, isigagadu sibe yimithombo yamanzi; ekhaya lamakhanka lapho ayebuthisa khona kuyakuba khona igceke lomhlanga nekhwani. Kuyakuba khona umendo nendlela eyakuthiwa iNdlela Yobungcwele; ongcolileyo akayikuhamba ngayo, kepha iyakuba ngeyabantu bakhe; abahamba ngayo, noma beyiziwula, abayikuduka kuyo. Akuyikuba khona lapho ingonyama, nesilwane esihahayo asiyikukhuphukela khona; lokho akuyikufunyanwa khona, kepha abakhululiweyo bayakuhamba ngayo. Abahlengiweyo bakaJehova bayakubuya baye eSiyoni ngokwethaba, intokozo engunaphakade ibe phezu kwamakhanda abo; bayakuthola ukujabula nokuthokoza, kubaleke usizi nokububula.
