2 UNkulunkulu kazange abalahle abantu bakhe ayebazi kusukela kuqala.+ Kanti alikwazi yini ukuthi imibhalo ithini ngo-Elija? Wakhuleka kuNkulunkulu esola abako-Israyeli esithi: 3 “Jehova* sebebulele abaphrofethi bakho badiliza lama-alithare akho. Kusele mina ngedwa futhi khathesi sebezama ukungibulala.”+
