25 Oonyana bakaDan bathi kuye: “Ilizwi lakho malingavakali kufuphi nathi, ngokoyikela ukuba amadoda amphefumlo ukrakra+ aya kunihlasela, kuze kufuneke niphulukane nomphefumlo wenu nomphefumlo wezindlu zenu.”

2 Nawo onke amadoda asekubandezelekeni+ nawo onke amadoda awayenamatyala+ nawo onke amadoda amphefumlo ukrakra+ aqokelelana ndawonye kuye,+ waza waba yintloko phezu kwawo;+ kwabakho ke kuye amadoda amalunga namakhulu amane.

8 Waza uHushayi wahlabela mgama wathi: “Nawe ngokwakho umazi kakuhle uyihlo namadoda akhe, ukuba banamandla,+ yaye umphefumlo wabo ukrakra,+ njengemazi yebhere elahlekelwe ngamathole ayo endle;+ kwaye uyihlo yindoda yokulwa,+ yaye akayi kuchitha ubusuku ekunye nabantu.

27 Ekufikeni kwakhe entabeni kumntu kaTHIXO oyinyaniso, kwaoko wambamba ezinyaweni.+ UGehazi wasondela ukuze amshenxise,+ kodwa umntu kaTHIXO oyinyaniso+ wathi: “Myeke,+ kuba umphefumlo wakhe ukrakra+ ngaphakathi kuye; yaye uYehova undifihlele,+ akandixelelanga.”
