4 “Luyeza usuku oluvutha njengomlilo,+ lapho bonke abaziphakamisayo labenza okubi abazakuba njengamahlanga. Bazatshabalaliswa bonke ngalolosuku,” kutsho uJehova wamabutho, “futhi akulagatsha loba impande ezasala kubo. 2 Kodwa lina elihlonipha* ibizo lami lizakhanyiselwa lilanga lokulunga elilemisebe esilisayo* njalo lizaqolotsha njengamathole anonileyo.”

3 “Mhla ngikwenza lokhu lizabanyathela ababi ngoba bazakuba njengothuli ngaphansi kwenyawo zenu,” kutsho uJehova wamabutho.

4 “Khumbulani uMthetho wenceku yami uMosi, olezimiso lezahlulelo engazinika bonke abako-Israyeli eHorebhi ukuthi bazilalele.+

5 “Ngizathuma umphrofethi u-Elija+ kini lungakafiki usuku lukaJehova olukhulu lolwesabekayo.+ 6 Uzaphendula izinhliziyo zabobaba zibe njengezamadodana,+ lezamadodana zibe njengezaboyise,* ukuze ngingabuyi ngizotshaya umhlaba ngiwutshabalalise.”
