13 UJehova wayelokhu emxwayisa u-Israyeli noJuda ngabo bonke abaprofethi bakhe nangabo bonke ababoni bemibono, + ethi: “Shiyani izindlela zenu ezimbi! + Gcinani imiyalo yami nemithetho yami, ngokuvumelana nawo wonke umthetho engayala ngawo okhokho benu nenganinika wona ngezinceku zami abaprofethi.” 14 Kodwa abalalelanga, baba nenkani njengokhokho* babo abangazange babe nokholo kuJehova uNkulunkulu wabo. +

15 UJehova uNkulunkulu wokhokho babo waqhubeka ebaxwayisa esebenzisa izithunywa zakhe, ebaxwayisa ngokuphindaphindiwe, ngoba waba nozwela ngabantu bakhe nangendawo yakhe yokuhlala. 16 Kodwa babelokhu behlekisa ngezithunywa zikaNkulunkulu weqiniso, + bedelela amazwi akhe, + bebenza inhlekisa abaprofethi bakhe, + kwaze kwaphela ithemba lokuthi bangaphulukiswa, uJehova wabavuthela ngolaka. +

25 kusukela osukwini okhokho benu abaphuma ngalo ezweni laseGibhithe kuze kube namuhla. + Ngakho ngaqhubeka ngithumela kini zonke izinceku zami abaprofethi, ngizithuma usuku nosuku ngokuphindaphindiwe. *+ 26 Kodwa benqaba ukungilalela, abazange banake. + Kunalokho baba nenkani,* benza okubi kakhulu kunokhokho babo!
