17 Wothi ke uvuthe umsindo wam kuso ngaloo mini,+ ndize ngokuqinisekileyo ndisishiye+ yaye ndibufihle ubuso bam kuso,+ sidliwe kuthi tu; sifikelwe yintlekele nakukubandezeleka okuninzi,+ yaye konyanzeleka sithi ngaloo mini, ‘Akungenxa yokuba uThixo engekho phakathi kwethu na le nto sifikelwe yile ntlekele?’+

23 Neentlanga ziya kwazi ukuba indlu kaSirayeli, yaya ekuthinjweni+ ngenxa yesiphoso sayo, kuba yaziphatha ngokungathembeki kum, kangangokuba ndabufihla ubuso bam kuyo+ ndaza ndayinikela esandleni seentshaba zayo, yaza yawa yonke likrele.+

4 Ngelo xesha baya kumemeza kuYehova becela uncedo, kodwa akayi kubaphendula.+ Uya kubufihla ubuso bakhe kubo ngelo xesha,+ ngenxa yobubi ababenzileyo.+
