16 Kwathi esathetha naye ukumkani ngokukhawuleza wathi kuye: “Ngaba sakwenza umcebisi kakumkani?+ Yeka ukuze kube kuhle kuwe.+ Kutheni befanele bakuxabele?” Umprofeti wamyeka, kodwa wathi: “Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiyazi ukuba uThixo ugqibe ukuba akonakalise,+ ngenxa yokuba wenze oku+ ungaliphulaphulanga icebiso lam.”+

29 Umntu owohlwaywa ngokuphindaphindiweyo+ kodwa ayenze lukhuni intamo+ yakhe uya kwaphulwa ngequbuliso, aze angaphiliswa.+

17 “Kwaye ndanivelisela abalindi,+ ‘Nikelani ingqalelo kwisandi sesigodlo!’”+ Kodwa bahlala besithi: “Asizi kunikela ngqalelo.”+

4 “‘Musani ukuba njengooyihlo+ abamemezayo kubaprofeti bangaphambili,+ besithi: “Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, ‘Khanincede, nibuye ezindleleni zenu ezimbi nakwizenzo zenu ezibi.’”’+

“‘Kodwa abazange baphulaphule, yaye abazange banikele ngqalelo kum,’+ utsho uYehova.
