33 “Xa abantu bakho amaSirayeli besoyiswa phambi kotshaba,+ ngenxa yokuba baqhubeka bekona,+ baze babuyele kuwe+ balibonge igama lakho+ bathandaze+ yaye bacele ubabalo kuwe kule ndlu,+

3 Utsho uYehova wemikhosi, uTHIXO kaSirayeli, ukuthi: “Lungisani iindlela zenu nezenzo zenu, yaye ndiza kunigcina nihlala kule ndawo.+

21 “‘Ke kaloku ngokubhekisele kongendawo, ukuba unokuthi abuye kuzo zonke izono azenzileyo+ aze okunene agcine yonke imimiselo yam, aphumeze okusesikweni nobulungisa,+ ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuhlala ephila. Akayi kufa.+

11 Yithi kubo, ‘“Ndiphila nje,” itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova, “andiyoliswa kukufa kongendawo,+ kodwa kukuba ongendawo abuye+ endleleni yakhe aze okunene ahlale ephila.+ Buyani, buyani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi,+ kuba kutheni na ukuba nide nife, ndlu kaSirayeli?”’+

5 Abantu baseNineve bakholwa kuThixo,+ yaye babhengeza ukuba kuzilwe ukutya kwambathwe namarhonya,+ ukususela koyena mkhulu kuse koyena mncinane kubo.
