17 Kodwana ala ukulalela nabahluleli begodu bewangwadla nabanye abozimu, abakhothamela. Aphambuka msinyana endleleni abokhokho bawo ebebakhamba kiyo, labo abalalela imiyalo kaJehova.+ Abhalelwa ukwenza lokho.

19 Kodwana bekuthi nakuhlongakala umahluleli loyo, athome phasi godu aziphathe kumbi ukudlula abokhokho bawo ngokulandela abanye abozimu, babalotjhe begodu babakhothamele.+ Akhenge alise imikghwawo nokuziphatha kwawo kokuba nekani.

6 Godu ama-Israyeli enza okumbi emehlweni kaJehova,+ athoma ukulotjha aboBhali,+ iinthombe zabo-Atjhitarothi, abozimu be-Aramu,* abozimu beTsidoni, abozimu bakwaMowabi,+ abozimu bama-Amoni+ nabozimu bamaFilista.+ Alahla uJehova begodu azange amlotjhe.
