19 Kodwa lamuhla limtshiyile uNkulunkulu wenu+ owayelikhulula kuzo zonke izingozi lasekuhluphekeni, lathi: “Thina sifuna usinike inkosi ezasibusa.” Ngakho manini phambi kukaJehova ngezizwana zenu langosendo lwenu.’”*

12 Lanxa uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu eyiNkosi yenu,+ lina lathi libona uNahashi+ inkosi yama-Amoni esezolihlasela laqhubeka lisithi kimi, ‘Hatshi, thina sizimisele ukuthi sibe lenkosi ezasibusa!’+
