11 U-Asa wasethandaza kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe+ wathi: “Awu Jehova, wena awulandaba lokuthi obancedayo banengi kumbe abalamandla.+ Sicela usincede Jehova Nkulunkulu wethu ngoba sithembele kuwe,+ size ngebizo lakho sizokulwa labantu bonke laba.+ Awu Jehova, wena unguNkulunkulu wethu, ungavumi ukuthi umuntu akunqobe.”+

5 Abantu bakoJuda labeJerusalema babuthana phambi kweguma elitsha endlini kaJehova. UJehoshafathi wasukuma 6 wathi:

“Awu Jehova Nkulunkulu wabokhokho bethu, ayisuwe yini uNkulunkulu osemazulwini?+ Ayisuwe yini obusa phezu kwayo yonke imibuso yezizwe?+ Isandla sakho silamandla amangalisayo, akulamuntu ongamelana lawe.+
