20 Nxa sengibangenisile elizweni engafunga ukulinika okhokho babo,+ ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju,+ bazakuthi sebedle basutha njalo baphumelela,*+ besebesiya kwabanye onkulunkulu babakhonze futhi bangiphathe ngendlela engelanhlonipho, bephule lesivumelwano sami.+

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.+

26 “Kodwa bahlamuka+ bafulathela uMthetho owawubaphe wona njalo abazange bakulalele. Babulala abaphrofethi bakho ababebaxwayisa bezama ukubabuyisela kuwe. Batshengisa ukuthi abakuhloniphi ngitsho.+
