8 “UEfrayim uya kuthi, ‘Ndisenanto yakwenza ngantoni na nezithixo?’+

“Mna ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kuphendula yaye ndiya kuqhubeka ndimkhangela.+ Ndinjengomthi onabileyo wejunipha.+ Siyafunyanwa kum isiqhamo sakho.”

2 “Kuya kuthi ke ngaloo mini,” utsho uYehova wemikhosi, “ndiwanqumle amagama ezithixo elizweni,+ zingabi sakhunjulwa kwakhona; kwanabaprofeti+ nomoya wokungcola ndiya kuwudlulisa ungabikho elizweni.+
