4 ngoba azakwenza amadodana enu aphambuke, ayekele ukungilandela ayekhonza abanye onkulunkulu.+ Lapho-ke ulaka lukaJehova luzavutha phezu kwenu ahle alitshabalalise masinyane.+

16 UJehova wasesithi kuMosi: “Usuzakufa* njalo abantu laba bazaqala ukukhonza onkulunkulu* bezinye izizwe ezizabe zingomakhelwane babo elizweni abaya kulo.+ Bazangitshiya+ futhi bephule isivumelwano sami engisenze labo.+

17 Lanxa kunjalo kabazange babalalele abahluleli laba kodwa bakhonza abanye* onkulunkulu futhi babakhothamela. Baphambuka masinyane endleleni eyayilandelwa ngokhokho babo ababelalela imilayo kaJehova,+ behluleka ukwenza njengabo.

33 UGidiyoni wathi esanda kufa abako-Israyeli baqalisa futhi ukukhonza oBhali*+ njalo benza uBhali-bherithi waba ngunkulunkulu wabo.+

2 Babengabezizwe uJehova ayekhulume ngazo labako-Israyeli wathi: “Akumelanga lidlelane lazo* ngoba zizahuga inhliziyo zenu ukuthi zilandele onkulunkulu bazo.”+ Kodwa uSolomoni yena wayebathanda abafazi labo njalo wanamathela kubo.

26 Abesifazana bezinye izizwe ayisibo yini abenza iNkosi uSolomoni yenza isono? Kuzo zonke izizwe kwakungelankosi enjengaye+ njalo wayethandwa nguNkulunkulu wakhe,+ yikho wambeka waba yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke kodwa abesifazana bezinye izizwe bamenza waphambuka.+
