⁴ Ubil’ izithukuthuku ukwenza isidiliya sibe nemveliso. UIsaya uthi umniniso ‘wemba umhlaba asuse namatye’—msebenzi lowo oyindinisa, noxhaphis’ amagwebu! Kusenokwenzeka ukuba kwakude kufuneke athuthe iimbokotho zamatye ukuze ‘akhe inqaba.’ Mandulo ezi nqaba zazisenzelwa ukuba abalindi baxhwarhe kuzo ukuze babek’ esweni amasela nezilwanyana.a Akugqiba, usibiyela isidiliya ngodonga lwamatye. (Isaya 5:5) Ngokuqhelekileyo injongo yoku yayikukukhusela umhlaba ungakhukuliseki.

6, 7. (a) Ngubani umnini-sidiliya, yaye siyintoni sona isidiliya? (b) Nguwuphi umgwebo asibizela kuwo umniniso?

⁶ Ngubani isidiliya, yaye ngubani umniniso? Umnini-sidiliya uphendula ngokwakhe athi: “Ke kaloku, bemi baseYerusalem nani madoda akwaYuda, ncedani nigwebe phakathi kwam nesidiliya sam. Yintoni na esenokwenziwa ngesidiliya sam endingekayenzi? Kutheni na ukuba ndibe nethemba lokuba uya kuvelisa iidiliya, suka wona uvelise iidiliya zasendle? Ke kaloku, makhe ndinazise oko ndiya kukwenza esidiliyeni sam: Ndiza kulushenxisa uthango lwaso, size sitshiswe. Ndiza kuludiliza udonga lwaso lwamatye, sibe sisisulu sokubhuqwa.”—Isaya 5:3-5.

 9. UYehova ulunyamekele njani uhlanga lwakhe, njengesidiliya esixabisekileyo?

⁹ UYehova ‘walutyala’ uhlanga lwakhe kwilizwe lakwaKanan waza walunika imithetho nemimiselo yakhe, eyayifana nodonga lokulukhusela ekonakalisweni zezinye iintlanga. (Eksodus 19:5, 6; INdumiso 147:19, 20; Efese 2:14) Ngaphezu koko, uYehova walunika nabagwebi, ababingeleli, nabaprofeti bokuluyalela. (2 Kumkani 17:13; Malaki 2:7; IZenzo 13:20) Xa uSirayeli wayephiliswa ubomi bentshontsho yimikhosi eyayimhlasela, uYehova wavelisa abahlanguli. (Hebhere 11:32, 33) Ngoko, uYehova unesizathu sokubuza athi: “Yintoni na esenokwenziwa ngesidiliya sam endingekayenzi?”
