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.

9 Ngakho wangiphendula wathi: “Isono sabantu bako-Israyeli labakoJuda sikhulu kakhulu.+ Abantu babulalana kusa kwamalanga+ futhi edolobheni kugcwele ubuqili,+ ngoba bathi, ‘UJehova uselitshiyile ilizwe leli, uJehova kaboni lutho.’+ 10 Yikho angisoze ngibazwele futhi angisoze ngibe lesihawu kubo.+ Ngizabehlisela okufanele izenzo zabo.”
