25 “Nxa selihlale isikhathi eside elizweni njalo selilabantwana labazukulu beseliqalisa ukuxhwala lenze isithombe esibaziweyo+ saloba yini futhi lenze okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ukuze limcaphule,+ 26 ngithi amazulu lomhlaba akube ngofakazi lamuhla, bokuthi loba sekutheni lizakufa liphele masinyane elizweni elichapha uJodani ukuze liyelithatha libe ngelenu. Alisoze lihlale isikhathi eside kulo kodwa lizabhujiswa liphele nya.+

17 “Kodwa nxa inhliziyo zenu zingaphambuka,+ liyekele ukulalela njalo lihugwe futhi likhothamele abanye onkulunkulu libakhonze,+ 18 ngiyalitshela lamuhla ukuthi lizatshabalala loba sekutheni.+ Alisoze lihlale isikhathi eside elizweni eselichapha uJodani ukuthi liyelithatha libe ngelenu.

12 “Kodwa nxa lingaphambuka lilandele izizwe lezi eziseleyo,+ lendiselane lazo+ njalo libe lobudlelwano lazo, 13 lihle lazi ukuthi uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu kasoze aqhubeke ezixotsha phambi kwenu+ izizwe lezi. Zizakuba ngumjibila kini lomchilo wokulibhaxabula emhlane+ kanye lameva emehlweni enu, lize liphele lonke elizweni leli elihle uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu aliphe lona.
