37 Abantu bendawo uJehova azalidudula liye kuzo bazasala bethithibele ngenxa yalokho okwenzakale kini, bazalichothoza balenze inhlekisa.+

22 “Nxa isizukulwane sabantwabenu abazalandela ngemva kwenu kanye lowesinye isizwe ovela elizweni elikhatshana bebona inhlupho eziselizweni lemikhuhlane uJehova ayehlisele phezu kwalo, 23 isalufa, lesawudo kanye lokutshisa ukuze kungasahlanyeleki elizweni lonke njalo kungasahlumi lutho futhi kungasamili lutho kulo, libhujiswe ngendlela okwabhujiswa ngayo iSodoma leGomora,+ le-Adima leZebhoyimi+ indawo ezatshabalaliswa nguJehova ngolaka lwakhe langentukuthelo yakhe, 24 bona kanye lazo zonke izizwe bazakuthi, ‘Kanti uJehova ukwenzeleni lokhu elizweni leli?+ Lubangelwe yini ulaka lolu olwesabekayo futhi oluvuthayo?’

Wonke umuntu odlulayo uzalikhangela ethuke, anikine ikhanda.+

15 Bonke abadlula ngomgwaqo bakuhleka baze batshaye izandla ndodakazi yeJerusalema.+

Nxa bekubona bayamangala batshaye umlozwi,+ benikina amakhanda besithi:

“Leli yilo yini idolobho okwakuthiwa lihle kakhulu futhi lenza abantu bonke emhlabeni bathokoze?”+

15 Nxa sengikwahlulele ngathululela ulaka lwami phezu kwakho njalo ngakujezisa kabuhlungu, izizwe ezakhelane lawe zizakuchothoza zikuhleke,+ futhi okwenzakale kuwe kuzakuba yisixwayiso kuzo njalo kuzazethusa. Mina Jehova sengikhulumile.
