6 Lapho nidlayo nalapho niphuzayo, anizidleli, niziphuzela nina, na?
7 Akusiwo lawa mazwi uJehova awamemezayo ngesandla sabaprofethi bokuqala, lapho iJerusalema lalakhiwe lisabusa, nalapho imizi yalo nxazonke zalo nelaseningizimu nehlanze kwakwakhiwe, na?’ ”
8 Izwi likaJehova lafika kuZakariya, lathi:
9 “Washo kanje uJehova Sebawoti, wathi: ‘Yahlulelani izahlulelo eziqinisileyo, nenze umusa nobubele, kube yilowo nalowo kumfowabo,
10 ningacindezeli abafelokazi, nezintandane, nabafokazi, nabampofu, kungabi ngoceba okubi ngomfowabo enhliziyweni yakhe.’
11 “Kepha bala ukulalela, baphekula ihlombe, benza izindlebe zabo zaba buthuntu ukuba bangezwa.
