17 Bubula, uthule; ungenzi isililo sabafileyo, uzibophele isigqoko sakho, ufake izicathulo zakho ezinyaweni zakho, ungambozi amadevu akho, ungadli isinkwa sabantu.”
18 Ngase ngikhuluma kubantu ekuseni; kusihlwa wafa umkami; kusasa ngenza njengalokho ngiyaliwe.
19 Abantu bathi kimi: “Ungesitshele yini ukuthi lezi zinto ziyini kithina, njengokuba wenze njalo, na?”
20 Ngathi kubo: “Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
21 Yisho kuyo indlu yakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bheka, ngiyakuyingcolisa indlu yami engcwele, ukuziqhenya kwamandla enu, okunxanelekayo emehlweni enu, okuhawukelwa ngumphefumulo wenu; amadodakazi enu eniwashiyile ayakuwa ngenkemba.
22 Niyakwenza njengami: aniyikumboza amadevu enu, ningadli isinkwa sabantu.
23 Izigqoko zenu ziyakuba semakhanda enu nezicathulo ezinyaweni zenu; aniyikudabuka, ningakhali, kepha niyakonda ebubini benu, nibubulelane omunye nomunye.
