24 bona kanye lazo zonke izizwe bazakuthi, ‘Kanti uJehova ukwenzeleni lokhu elizweni leli?+ Lubangelwe yini ulaka lolu olwesabekayo futhi oluvuthayo?’ 25 Lapho-ke abantu bazakuthi, ‘Kungenxa yokuthi batshiya isivumelwano sikaJehova+ uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo asenza labo ngesikhathi ebakhipha elizweni laseGibhithe.+ 26 Kodwa basuka bayakhonza abanye onkulunkulu njalo babakhothamela, onkulunkulu ababengabazi futhi ayengazange abavumele ukuthi babakhonze.*+

8 Indlu le izakuba lunxiwa+ njalo wonke umuntu odlulayo uzayikhangela amangale kakhulu, anikine ikhanda* esithi, ‘Kungani uJehova enze into enje elizweni leli lasendlini le?’+ 9 Bazamphendula bathi, ‘UJehova ubehlisele umonakalo lo ngenxa yokuthi bamtshiyile uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo owakhipha okhokho babo elizweni leGibhithe, balandela abanye onkulunkulu babakhonza futhi babakhothamela.’”+

15 Bonke abadlula ngomgwaqo bakuhleka baze batshaye izandla ndodakazi yeJerusalema.+

Nxa bekubona bayamangala batshaye umlozwi,+ benikina amakhanda besithi:

“Leli yilo yini idolobho okwakuthiwa lihle kakhulu futhi lenza abantu bonke emhlabeni bathokoze?”+
