9 “Wena Solomoni ndodanami, yazi uZimu kayihlo begodu umlotjhe ngehliziyo epheleleko+ nangomphefumulo* othabileko ngombana uJehova uhlola zoke iinhliziyo+ begodu ulemuka koke ukutjhigamela kwemicabango.+ Nawumfunako, uzozenza afumaneke kuwe+ kodwana nawungamtjhiya, uzokulahla bekube nini nanini.+

2 Yeke waphuma wayokuhlangabeza u-Asa, wafese wathi kuye: “Akhungilalele Asa nani noke bantu bakwaJuda nabakwaBhenjamini! UJehova uzokuba nani kwaphela nange nihlala ningakuye+ begodu nange nimfuna uzokwenza bona nimfumane,+ kodwana nange nimtjhiya naye uzonitjhiya.+

19 Nje-ke uJehotjhafathi ikosi yakwaJuda wabuyela emzinakhe*+ eJerusalema aphephile.

3 Nanyana kunjalo, zikhona izinto ezihle ozenzileko,+ ususe iingodo ezicwengileko* enarheni, walungiselela nehliziywakho bona ulotjhe uZimu weqiniso.”+

 6 Funani uJehova asafumaneka.+

Mbizeni asese seduze.+

12 Ngombana amehlo kaJehova* akwabalungileko neendlebe zakhe zilalela ukuncenga kwabo+ kodwana ubuso bakaJehova* bulwisana nalabo abenza okumbi.”+
