6 UJehova wadlula phambi kwakhe ememeza esithi: “UJehova, uJehova, uNkulunkulu olozwelo*+ lesihawu,+ ophuza ukuthukuthela,+ ogcwele uthando oluqotho+ kanye leqiniso,*+

17 Babengafuni ukulalela+ njalo bazikhohlwa izimanga owawubenzele zona, baqinisa amakhanda bakhetha owabo umkhokheli ukuze babuyele bayekuba yizigqili eGibhithe.+ Kodwa wena unguNkulunkulu ozimiseleyo ukuthethelela, olozwelo* futhi olesihawu. Uyaphuza ukuthukuthela futhi ugcwele uthando oluqotho,+ yikho ungazange ubalahle.+

2 Ngakho wathandaza kuJehova wathi: “Awu Jehova, ngangivele ngisazi ngiselizweni lakithi ukuthi lokhu yikho ozakwenza. Yikho wathi ungithuma ngazama ukubalekela eThashishi+ ngoba ngangisazi ukuthi unguNkulunkulu olozwelo* lesihawu, ophuza ukuthukuthela logcwele uthando oluqotho,+ ongakuthandiyo ukwehlisela abantu okubi.
