17 “Kepha uma inhliziyo yakho iphenduka ukuze ungezwa, kepha uyengwe, ukhuleke kwabanye onkulunkulu, ubakhonze,
18 ngiyanimemezela namuhla ukuthi niyakubhubha nokubhubha; aniyikuzandisa izinsuku zenu ezweni eniwela iJordani ukuba ningene kulo ukulidla.
19 “Ngifakazisa namuhla izulu nomhlaba ngani ukuthi ngibeke phambi kwenu ukuphila nokufa, isibusiso nesiqalekiso; ngalokho khethani ukuphila ukuba niphile, wena nenzalo yakho,
20 ukuba umthande uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, ulilalele izwi lakhe, unamathele kuye, ngokuba lokho kungukuphila kwakho nobude bezinsuku zakho, ukuze uhlale ezweni uJehova alifungela oyihlo, o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe, ukubanika lona.”
