3 Akumelanga ube labanye onkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami.*+

5 Akumelanga ukhothamele izinto lezi kumbe uhugwe ukuthi uzikhonze+ ngoba mina Jehova uNkulunkulu wakho, nginguNkulunkulu ofuna umuntu azinikele kimi kuphela+ njalo ojezisa amadodana ngenxa yamacala aboyise kuze kufike kusizukulwane sesithathu lesesine salabo abangizondayo,

25 Kumele litshise izithombe ezibunjiweyo zabonkulunkulu bazo.+ Lingahawukeli isiliva kumbe igolide elikuzo futhi lingalithathi libe ngelenu+ ukuze lingabi ngumjibila kini ngoba izinto lezi ziyenyanyeka kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.+

22 INkosi u-Ahazi yathi isisebunzimeni yenza okubi kakhulu phambi kukaJehova kulakuqala. 23 Yaqalisa ukunikela kubonkulunkulu beDamaseko+ ababeyinqobile+ futhi yathi: “Onkulunkulu bamakhosi aseSiriya bawancedisile, yikho lami ngizanikela kubo ukuze bangincedise.”+ Kodwa lokhu kwenza ukuthi yona labantu bonke bako-Israyeli behlelwe ngumonakalo.
