13 UJehova wayelokhu ebaxwayisa abako-Israyeli labakoJuda esebenzisa bonke abaphrofethi bakhe labo bonke ababebona imibono,+ esithi: “Tshiyani izindlela zenu ezimbi!+ Gcinani imilayo yami lezimiso zami, lawo wonke umthetho engawunika okhokho benu futhi engathuma izinceku zami ezingabaphrofethi ukuthi zilitshele wona.” 14 Kodwa bona abazange balalele njalo baba yiziqholo njengabokhokho babo ababengelakholo kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.+

15 UJehova uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo wayelokhu ebaxwayisa esebenzisa izithunywa zakhe. Wabaxwayisa ephindaphinda ngoba wayezwela abantu bakhe lendawo yakhe yokuhlala. 16 Kodwa babezihleka izithunywa zikaNkulunkulu weqiniso,+ beseyisa amazwi azo+ njalo bechothoza labaphrofethi bakhe.+ Ulaka lukaJehova lwacina lusehlela phezu kwabantu bakhe+ baze basala bengasancediseki.

25 Lokhu bakwenza kusukela ngelanga okhokho benu abaphuma ngalo elizweni leGibhithe kuze kube lamuhla.+ Ngakho ngaqhubeka ngithuma kini izinceku zami ezingabaphrofethi. Ngangizithuma nsuku zonke ngiphindaphinda.*+ 26 Kodwa abazange balalele futhi abazange babe lendaba lalokho engangikutsho.+ Baqinisa intamo, benza okubi okwedlula lokho okwakwenziwe ngokhokho babo!
