5 Sengiyakuya kwabakhulu,ngikhulume nabo,ngokuba bona bayayazi indlela kaJehovanokwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu wabo;”kepha bona babelaphulile ijoka kanyekanye,bazigqabulile izibopho.
6 Ngalokho ingonyama yasehlathini iyakubashaya,babhujiswe yimpisi yasehlane,ingwe iyiqamekele imizi yabo,badatshulwe bonke abaphuma kuyo,ngokuba iziphambeko zabo ziningi,nokuhlehla kwabo kwandile.
7 “Ngingakuthethelela kanjani na?Abantwana bakho bangishiyile,bafunga okungesibo onkulunkulu.Ngabafungisa, kepha baphinga,babuthana endlini yezifebe.
8 Banjengamahhashi akhulupheleyo andindayo;yilowo nalowo uyiyizela umfazi womakhelwane wakhe.
9 Angiyikubahambela ngalokho na?” usho uJehova.“Umphefumulo wami awuyikuphindisa esizweni esinjengalesi na?
10 “Khuphukelani ezingangeni zalo,nilichithe,ningaliqedi ngokupheleleyo nokho;susani amagatsha alo,ngokuba awasiwo akaNkulunkulu.
11 Ngokuba indlu ka-Israyeli nendlu kaJudazingikhohlisile nokungikhohlisa,” usho uJehova.
