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.”

15 UJehova uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo wayelokhu ebaxwayisa esebenzisa izithunywa zakhe. Wabaxwayisa ephindaphinda ngoba wayezwela abantu bakhe lendawo yakhe yokuhlala.

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.+

30 Wababekezelela+ okweminyaka leminyaka waqhubeka ubaxwayisa usebenzisa abaphrofethi bakho ababelomoya wakho, kodwa abazange balalele. Ekucineni wabanikela ezizweni ezazibagombolozele.+

4 UJehova wathuma kini zonke izinceku zakhe ezingabaphrofethi. Wayezithuma kokuphela kodwa alizange lilalele futhi alizange libe lendaba lalokho ezazikutsho.+
