19 UJoshuwa wasesithi kubo: “Kalingeke lenelise ukumkhonza uJehova ngoba unguNkulunkulu ongcwele+ njalo ufuna abantu bazinikele kuye kuphela.+ Nxa lingayekela ukwenza njalo, kasoze alixolele iziphambeko zenu lezono zenu.+

5 Kodwa wena uzilethela ulaka lukaNkulunkulu ngenxa yokuthi uyisiqholo njalo ulenhliziyo engaphendukiyo. UNkulunkulu uzaluveza ulaka lwakhe mhla esahlulela abantu futhi uzabahlulela ngendlela elungileyo,+

4 UNkulunkulu kazange ayekele ukujezisa izingilosi ezonayo+ kodwa waziphosela eThatharasi,*+ wazibopha ngamaketane obumnyama* obukhulu ukuze zigcinelwe ukwahlulelwa.+

14 Yikho u-Inokhi+ owayengowesikhombisa kusukela ku-Adamu laye waphrofetha ngabo wathi: “UJehova* weza lezingilosi zakhe ezingcwele ezingamatshumi ezinkulungwane+ 15 ezokwahlulela bonke abantu+ njalo ezobalahla ngecala bonke abangamesabiyo ngenxa yezenzo zabo ezimbi kakhulu langenxa yezinto ezethusayo izoni ezingamesabiyo uNkulunkulu ezazizikhuluma ngaye.”+
