16 Varanda vake vakatowedzera kutaura zvakashata pamusoro paJehovha Mwari wechokwadi uye pamusoro pemushumiri wake Hezekiya.
17 Akanyorawo tsamba+ dzekutuka Jehovha Mwari waIsraeri+ achitaura zvakashata nezvake, achiti: “Mwari waHezekiya haazonunuri vanhu vake muruoko rwangu kufanana navanamwari vemarudzi enyika dzacho vakatadza kununura vanhu vavo muruoko rwangu.”+

23 Uye vakawanda vakauya nezvipo kuna Jehovha kuJerusarema nezvinhu zvemhando yepamusoro kuna Mambo Hezekiya weJudha,+ uye pashure peizvi akanga ava kuremekedzwa chaizvo nemarudzi ese.
24 Mumazuva iwayo Hezekiya akarwara zvekuda kufa, uye akanyengetera kuna Jehovha+ uyo akamupindura, akamupa chiratidzo.+
25 Asi Hezekiya haana kutenda zvakanaka zvaakaitirwa, nekuti mwoyo wake wakazvikudza, zvikaita kuti iye neJudha neJerusarema vatsamwirwe.

29 Akavawo nemaguta ake, nezvipfuwo zvakawanda, makwai nembudzi, nemombe, nekuti Mwari akamupa upfumi hwakawanda chaizvo.
30 Hezekiya ndiye akavhara paibuda nemvura+ yeGihoni,+ akaita kuti idzike yakananga kumavirira kuGuta raDhavhidhi,+ uye Hezekiya akabudirira mumabasa ake ese.
31 Zvisinei, panguva yakatumwa vatauriri vemachinda eBhabhironi kuti vamubvunze nezvechiratidzo+ chakanga chaitika munyika,+ Mwari wechokwadi akamusiya kuti amuedze,+ kuti azive zvese zvaiva mumwoyo make.+
