3 Kepha yisho wena kubo, uthi: Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: ‘Buyelani kimi,’ usho uJehova Sebawoti, ‘ngiyakubuyela kini,’ usho uJehova Sebawoti.
4 Ningabi njengawoyihlo abaprofethi bokuqala abamemeza kubo, bathi: Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: ‘Ake nibuye ezindleleni zenu ezimbi nasezenzweni zenu ezimbi;’ kepha kabalalelanga, kabangiqaphelanga, usho uJehova.
5 Oyihlo baphi na? Nabaprofethi bakhona kuze kube phakade na?
6 Kanti amazwi ami nezimiso zami engayala ngakho izinceku zami abaprofethi akubaficanga yini oyihlo, baze baphenduka, bathi: ‘Njengalokho uJehova Sebawoti ebehlosa ukwenza kithi njengezindlela zethu nemisebenzi yethu, wenze kanjalo kithina, na?’ ”
