16 “Sengathi uJehova uNkulunkulu onika bonke abantu ukuphila angakhethela abantu bakhe indoda, 17 ezaphuma iphinde ingene phambi kwabo futhi ezabakhokhela nxa bephuma lanxa bengena, ukuze abantu bakaJehova bangabi njengezimvu ezingelamelusi.”

17 UMikhaya wasesithi: “Ngibona bonke abako-Israyeli besabalele ezintabeni+ njengezimvu ezingelamelusi. UJehova uthe, ‘Abantu laba abalankosi, omunye lomunye kabuyele emzini wakhe ngokuthula.’”

5 Zasabalala zagcwala iganga ngenxa yokuthi kwakungelamelusi,+ zadliwa zinyamazana zeganga.

34 Wathi ephuma esikepeni wabona kulabantu abanengi, wabazwela usizi+ ngoba babenjengezimvu ezingelamelusi,+ waseqalisa ukubafundisa izinto ezinengi.+
