12 Bamfulathela uJehova uNkulunkulu waboyise owabakhipha elizweni laseGibhithe,+ balandela onkulunkulu bezizwe ezazingomakhelwane+ njalo babakhothamela. Lokhu kwamthukuthelisa uJehova.+

14 UJehova wathi ekubona lokhu wabathukuthelela kakhulu abako-Israyeli, wasebanikela ezitheni zabo ezabahlaselayo, zatshaya zabhuqa impahla yabo.+ Wabanikela ezitheni zabo ezazibahanqile+ futhi babengasenelisi ukumelana lazo.+

3 Abako-Israyeli bahlala isikhathi eside bengamkhonzi uNkulunkulu weqiniso, bengelamphristi obafundisayo futhi bengawugcini umthetho.+

6 Isizwe sasihlasela esinye isizwe, idolobho lihlasela elinye ngoba uNkulunkulu wayebangele ukuthi kube lokuxokozela lenhlupho ezitshiyeneyo.+
