10 “Nakhu uJehova akutjhoko: ‘Endaweni le enizokuthi imarubhi, akunamuntu namkha ifuyo, emadorobheni wakwaJuda neendleleni zeJerusalema ezingakhanjiwako, akunamuntu, isakhamuzi namkha ifuyo, lapho kuzokuzwakala godu 11 itjhada lethabo netjhada lokujekezela,+ ilizwi lakamkhwenyana nelizwi lakamakoti nelizwi labathi: “Thokozani uJehova wamabutho, ngombana uJehova muhle;+ ithando lakhe* lihlala ngokungapheliko!”’+

“‘Bazokuletha iminikelo yokuthokoza endlini kaJehova+ ngombana ngizokubuyisa abathunjiweko benarha, njengekuthomeni,’ kutjho uJehova.”
