23 Koma anthu awa ali ndi mtima wouma ndi wopanduka. Achoka panjira yanga ndipo akuyenda m’njira yawo.+

17 Mobwerezabwereza iwo akuuza anthu amene sakundilemekeza kuti, ‘Yehova wanena kuti: “Anthu inu mudzakhala pa mtendere.”’+ Ndipo aliyense woumitsa mtima wake+ akumuuza kuti, ‘Tsoka silidzakugwerani anthu inu.’+

7 Koma a nyumba ya Isiraeli sakafuna kukumvera, chifukwa iwo safuna kundimvera.+ Pakuti anthu onse a nyumba ya Isiraeli ndi amakani ndi osamva.+

12 Iwo anaumitsa mtima wawo+ ngati mwala wolimba kwambiri kuti asamvere malamulo+ ndi mawu a Yehova wa makamu, amene anawatumizira mwa mzimu wake+ kudzera mwa aneneri akale.+ Choncho Yehova wa makamu anakwiya kwambiri.”+
