31 Ngokuba uYehova uThixo wakho unguThixo onenceba.+ Akayi kukulahla okanye akonakalise okanye awulibale umnqophiso+ awawufungela ookhokho bakho.

20 Ngaphezu koko, wathabatha abaseleyo ekreleni wabathimbela eBhabhiloni,+ yaye baba ngabakhonzi bakhe+ naboonyana bakhe de ubukhosi bamaPersi+ baqalisa ukulawula;

13 Kusaya kubakho inxalenye yeshumi kulo,+ kodwa nayo iya kutshiswa, njengomthi omkhulu nanjengomthi oxandileyo othi, xa ugawulwe,+ ube nesiphunzi;+ yimbewu engcwele ke isiphunzi eso.”+

20 Kuya kuthi ngaloo mini abo baseleyo bakwaSirayeli+ nabo basindileyo bendlu kaYakobi bangaze kwakhona bazixhase ngalowo ubabethayo,+ yaye ngokuqinisekileyo baya kuzixhasa ngoYehova, Lowo Ungcwele kaSirayeli,+ benyanisile.+

8 “‘“Naxa kusenzeka oku ndiza kuninika abasindileyo ekreleni babe yintsalela phakathi kweentlanga, xa nichithachithwa emazweni.+

7 “Nabaseleyo kwaYakobi+ bamele babe phakathi kwezizwana ezininzi njengombethe ovela kuYehova,+ njengomvumbi phezu kotyani,+ obungathembele mntwini okanye bulindele koonyana bomntu wasemhlabeni.+
