20 Ngenxa yoko uYehova wathi: “Isikhalo sokumangalelwa kweSodom neGomora sikhulu,+ ewe, nesono sazo sinzima kakhulu.+

33 Kwaye wena ulilungisa+ ngokubhekisele kuko konke okusifikeleyo, kuba wena wenze ngokuthembeka,+ kodwa sithi abenze ngokungendawo.+

9 Yaye baya kuthi: “Kungenxa yokuba bawushiyile umnqophiso kaYehova uThixo wabo+ baza baqalisa ukuqubuda kwabanye oothixo, babakhonza.”’+

6 Waza wahlabela mgama wathi kum: “Nyana womntu, uyazibona na ukuba nkulu kwazo izinto ezicekisekayo abazenzayo,+ izinto indlu kaSirayeli ezenzayo apha ukuze mna ndibe kude nengcwele yam?+ Ukanti usaya kubona izinto ezicekisekayo ezinkulu.”

9 Ngoko wathi kum: “Isiphoso sendlu kaSirayeli nekaYuda+ sikhulu kakhulu,+ yaye ilizwe lizaliswe luphalazo-gazi+ nesixeko sizaliswe bubugwenxa;+ kuba bathe, ‘UYehova ulishiyile ilizwe,+ uYehova akaboni.’+

7 Wena, Yehova, unobulungisa, kodwa thina sigutyungelwe lihlazo ngayo le mini,+ thina namadoda akwaYuda, nabemi baseYerusalem, nabo bonke abakwaSirayeli, abo bakufuphi nabo bakude kuwo onke amazwe obasasazele kuwo ngenxa yokungathembeki kwabo abenze ngako nxamnye nawe.+

5 Kodwa ngenxa yokuba lukhuni+ kwakho nokuba nentliziyo engaguqukiyo+ uziqwebela ingqumbo+ ngomhla wengqumbo+ nowokutyhilwa+ komgwebo kaThixo wobulungisa.+
