¹⁹Mikaya ya ce, “Saboda haka ka ji maganar Ubanmu: Na ga Ubanmu zaune a kan kujerar sarautarsa, dukan rundunar sama tsaye kusa da shi, a damansa da hagunsa.

²⁰Ubanmu kuwa ya ce, ‘Wa zai ruɗi Ahab ya haura ya fāɗi a Ramot-gileyad?’ Wani ya ce haka, wani kuma ya ce haka.

²¹Sai wani ruhu ya zo gaba ya tsaya a gaban Ubanmu, yana cewa, ‘Ni zan ruɗe shi.’
