17 “Ukuba umphefumlo uthe wona ngokwenza enye yezinto zonke uYehova ayalele ukuba zingenziwa,+ nokuba ubungazi, woba netyala yaye umele uphendule ngesiphoso sawo.+

8 Lowo ukudlayo wophendula ngesiphoso sakhe,+ ngokuba eyihlambele into engcwele kaYehova; yaye loo mphefumlo wonqunyulwa ebantwini bakowawo.

13 Kodwa ukuba umntu ohlambulukileyo nongekho seluhambeni othe akakukhathalela ukulungiselela umbingelelo wepasika, loo mphefumlo umele unqunyulwe ungabikho phakathi kwabantu bakowawo,+ ngokuba awuwusondezanga umnikelo kaYehova ngexesha lawo elimisiweyo. Loo mntu wophendula+ ngesono sakhe.

14 Ndaza mna ndathi: “Owu Nkosi enguMongami Yehova! Khangela! Umphefumlo wam awenziwanga nqambi;+ ndingazange ndidle nasidumbu nasilwanyana siqwengiweyo ukususela ebutsheni bam,+ kude kube ngoku, nasemlonyeni wam akuzange kungene nyama ingcolileyo.”+
