25 Ukuba umntu uthe wona umntu,+ uThixo uya kumlamlela;+ kodwa ukuba umntu uthe wona uYehova,+ ngubani na owokumthandazela?”+ Kodwa babengaliphulaphuli ilizwi likayise,+ ngenxa yokuba uYehova ngoku wayezimisele ukubabulala.+

16 Kodwa baqhubeka bebagculela+ abathunywa bakaTHIXO oyinyaniso bewadelela amazwi akhe+ bebenza intlekisa+ abaprofeti bakhe, de wafika umsindo+ kaYehova nxamnye nabantu bakhe, kwada akwabakho kuphiliswa.+

3 “Ukususela kunyaka weshumi elinesithathu kaYosiya+ unyana ka-Amon, ukumkani wakwaYuda, kude kuse kule mini, le minyaka ingamashumi amabini anesithathu ilizwi likaYehova lifikile kum, kwaye ndahlala ndilithetha kuni, ndivuka ekuseni ndize ndithethe, kodwa aniphulaphulanga.+
