13 Ndipo anasiya Yehova, natumikira Baala ndi Asitaroti.
14 Pamenepo mkwiyo wa Yehova unayakira Israyeli, ndipo anawapereka m'manja a ofunkha kuti awafunkhe; nawagulitsa m'dzanja la adani ao akuwazungulira osakhozanso iwowo kuima pamaso pa adani ao.
15 Kuli konse anaturuka, dzanja la Yehova linawakhalira moipa, monga Yehova adanena, ndi monga Yehova adawalumbirira; nasautsika kwambiri iwowa.
16 Ndipo Yehova anautsa oweruza, amene anawapulumutsa m'dzanja la iwo akuwafunkha.
17 Koma sanamvera angakhale oweruza ao, pakuti anamuka kupembedza milungu yina, naigwadira; anapambuka msanga m'njira yoyendamo makolo ao, pomvera malamulo a Yehova; sanatero iwowa.
18 Ndipo pamene Yehova anawaukitsira oweruza, Yehova anakhala naye woweruzayo, nawapulumutsa m'dzanja la adani ao masiku onse a woweruzayo; pakuti Yehova anagwidwa cisoni pa kubuula kwao cifukwa ca iwo akuwapsinja ndi kuwatsendereza.
19 Koma kunali atafa woweruzayo anabwerera m'mbuyo, naposa makolo ao ndi kucita moipitsa, ndi kutsata milungu yina kuitumikira ndi kuigwadira, sanaleka kanthu ka macitidwe ao kapena ka njira yao yacheni.
