27 Umhlatshelo wababi uyinto enengekayo.+ Kakhulu kangakanani-ke lapho umuntu ewuletha kanye nokuziphatha okubi.+

11 “Bunanzuzoni kimi ubuningi bemihlatshelo yenu?” kusho uJehova. “Isingicikile iminikelo yokushiswa ephelele+ yezinqama+ namanoni ezilwane ezondlekile;+ futhi angizange ngijabule+ ngegazi+ lezinkunzi nangamawundlu angamaduna nezimpongo.+

3 “Ohlaba inkunzi unjengobulala umuntu.+ Owenza umhlatshelo ngemvu unjengophula intamo yenja.+ Onikela isipho—unjengonikela ngegazi lengulube!+ Owethula isikhumbuzo senhlaka yempepho+ unjengosho isibusiso ngamazwi angaqondakaliyo.+ Yibo futhi laba abakhethé ezabo izindlela, futhi wona kanye umphefumulo wabo ujabulele izinengiso zabo.+

20 “Nginandabani mina nokuthi niletha inhlaka yempepho evela eSheba+ nomhlanga omuhle ovela ezweni elikude? Iminikelo yenu yokushiswa ephelele ayilethi njabulo,+ nemihlatshelo yenu ibinganganelisi.”+

23 “Maye kini, babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! ngoba ninikela okweshumi+ kweminti nedile nekhumini, kodwa anizinakanga izindaba zoMthetho ezibaluleke kakhulu, okuwukuthi, ubulungisa+ nesihe+ nokwethembeka.+ Kwakuyisibopho ukwenza lezi zinto, kodwa hhayi ukuba ningazinaki lezi ezinye izinto.
