| 3. | Ndodana yomuntu, lamadoda anikele inhliziyo zawo ezithombeni zawo, athanda ukukhangela izinto ezimbi eziwakhubayo. Ngizavuma ukubuzwa yiwo yini? |
| 4. | Ngakho-ke khuluma kuwo uthi: INkosi uJehova ithi: Wonke umuntu wendlu kaIsrayeli onikela inhliziyo zabo ezithombeni zakhe, othanda ukukhangela izinto ezimbi ezimkhubayo, kodwa eze kumprofethi, mina Nkosi uqobo ngizamphendula ngenxa yobunengi bezithombe zakhe, |

| 14. | Loba lamadoda amathathu ebehlala khona, uNowa loDaniyeli loJobe, abezazikhulula wona kuphela ngokulunga kwawo, kutsho iNkosi uJehova. |
| 15. | Loba ngidlulisa phakathi kwelizwe izilo zeganga, ziliphange, lize libe yinkangala, ukuze kungadluli muntu kilo ngenxa yezilo, |
| 16. | uba lamadoda amathathu abehlala kilo, ngiyazifunga mina, kutsho iNkosi uJehova, abengayikukhulula amadodana lamadodakazi awo; wona wodwa abezazikhulula, kodwa ilizwe libe yinkangala. |
| 17. | Uba ngisehlisela inkemba kulelolizwe ngithi: Nkemba, dabula phakathi kwelizwe, ukuze ngiqume ngisuse kulo abantu lezinyamazana, |
| 18. | loba lamadoda abehlala khona, ngiyazifunga, kutsho iNkosi uJehova, abengayikukhulula amadodana lamadodakazi awo, kodwa wona wodwa abezazikhulula. |
| 19. | Uba ngithumela umatshayabhuqe wesifo kulelolizwe, ngehlisele ukuthukuthela kwami kulo ngokuchitha igazi, ukuze ngiqume ngisuse kulo abantu lezinyamazana, |
| 20. | loba uNowa loDaniyeli loJobe bebehlala khona, ngiyazifunga, kutsho iNkosi uJehova, bebengayikukhulula indodana loba indodakazi; kodwa bebezazikhulula bona kuphela ngokulunga kwabo. |
| 21. | INkosi uJehova ithi: Pho-ke, kuzakuba njani eJerusalema nxa ngiyehlisela lezizigwebo zami ezine ezibuhlungu, inkemba, lendlala, lezilo ezimbi, lomatshayabhuqe wesifo, ukuze ngiqume ngisuse kiyo abantu lezinyamazana. |
| 22. | Kodwa khangela, abanye bazasala kilo, abasilileyo ukuze bakhutshwe kilo, amadodana lamadodakazi; khangela, bazaphuma besiza kuwe, ubone ukuthi baziphathe njani lokuthi benzeni; lokhu kuzakutshengisa wena ukuthi konke okubi engikwenzileyo eJerusalema kufanele, lakho konke engiyehlisele khona. |
| 23. | Kuzakutshengisa ukuthi kufanele nxa usubonile ukwenza kwabo lalokho abakwenzileyo, ngoba uzakwazi ukuthi kangikwenzanga lokhu kibo ngaphandle kwesizatho, kutsho iNkosi uJehova. |
