16 Kodwa babelokhu betekula+ ngezithunywa zikaNkulunkulu weqiniso bedelela amazwi akhe+ futhi bebahleka usulu+ abaprofethi bakhe, uJehova waze wabathukuthelela+ abantu bakhe, kwaze kwangaba bikho kuphulukiswa.+

3 “Kusukela ngonyaka weshumi nantathu kaJosiya+ indodana ka-Amoni, inkosi yakwaJuda, kuze kube yilolu suku, le minyaka engamashumi amabili nantathu, izwi likaJehova belilokhu lifika kimi, futhi ngaqhubeka ngikhuluma kini, ngivuka ekuseni ngikhuluma, kodwa anizange nilalele.+

“‘Kodwa abazange balalele, futhi abanginakanga,’+ kusho uJehova.
