9 Wangena ebhalwini+ walala khona ebusuku. UJehova wakhuluma laye wathi: “Udingani lapha Elija?” 10 Yena waphendula wathi: “Bengimtshisekela kakhulu uJehova uNkulunkulu wamabutho+ ngoba abantu bako-Israyeli basitshiyile isivumelwano sakho,+ badiliza ama-alithare akho futhi babulala labaphrofethi bakho ngenkemba,+ kusele mina ngedwa. Khathesi bayangizingela bafuna ukungibulala.”+
