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.+

29 Wawubaxwayisa ufuna ukubabuyisela eMthethweni wakho kodwa baba yiziqholo bala ukulalela imilayo yakho.+ Bephula imilayo yakho eyenza umuntu aphile nxa eyilandela.+ Bakufulathela baqinisa amakhanda bengafuni ukulalela.

12 Benza inhliziyo zabo zaba lukhuni njengedayimana.+ Abazange bawulandele umthetho kaJehova kanye lamazwi akhe awatshela abaphrofethi bakhe bakudala+ esebenzisa umoya wakhe. Ngakho uJehova wamabutho wabathukuthelela kakhulu.”+
