12 uze ulumkele ukuba ungamlibali+ uYehova, owakukhuphayo ezweni laseYiputa, endlwini yamakhoboka.

13 Bafanele baphulaphule noonyana babo abangaziyo,+ bafunde ukumoyika uYehova uThixo wenu yonke imihla yokuphila kwenu kuwo umhlaba eniwela iYordan nisiya kuwudla ilifa.”+

17 Kwaye kwanabagwebi babo abazange babaphulaphule, kodwa baba neentlobano zokuziphatha okubi+ nabanye oothixo+ baza baqubuda kubo. Baphambuka ngokukhawuleza kwindlela ookhokho babo ababehamba kuyo ngokuthobela imiyalelo kaYehova.+ Abazange benjenjalo.

9 “Ke wena, Solomon nyana wam, uze umazi+ uTHIXO kayihlo, umkhonze+ ngentliziyo epheleleyo+ nangomphefumlo onoyolo;+ kuba uYehova uyazigocagoca zonke iintliziyo,+ akuqonde konke ukutyekela kweengcamango.+ Ukuba uthe wamfuna, uya kumfumana;+ kodwa ukuba uthe wamshiya,+ uya kukulahla ngonaphakade.+
