5 Kumele umthande uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngenhliziyo yakho yonke langomphefumulo wakho wonke+ langamandla akho wonke.*+

3 “Awu Jehova, ngiyakuncenga, ngicela ukhumbule ukuthi bengihamba phambi kwakho ngenhliziyo yami yonke futhi ngithembekile, ngisenza okuhle phambi kwakho.”+ UHezekhiya wasekhala kabuhlungu.

3 Inkosi yama eceleni kwensika yenza isivumelwano* phambi kukaJehova,+ esokuthi izalandela uJehova njalo ilalele imilayo yakhe lezikhumbuzo zakhe kanye lemithetho yakhe ngenhliziyo yonke langomphefumulo* wonke. Yathembisa ukuthi izakwenza konke okusemazwini esivumelwano ayebhalwe ebhukwini lelo. Bonke abantu bavuma ukuthi labo bazasigcina isivumelwano lesi.+

3 UJehova waqhubeka eloJehoshafathi ngoba wahamba ezindleleni zikakhokho wakhe uDavida+ njalo kazange akhonze oBhali.

37 Yena wathi kuye: “‘Kumele uthande uJehova* uNkulunkulu wakho ngenhliziyo yakho yonke langomphefumulo* wonke langengqondo yonke.’+
