| 20. | Ziphathe intonga obhala kizo ukuze abantu bazibone, |
| 21. | uthi kibo: INkosi uJehova ithi: Khangela, ngizathatha abantwana bakoIsrayeli ezizweni abaya kizo, ngibabuyise bevela endaweni zonke, ngibalethe elizweni labo; |
| 22. | ngizabenza babe yisizwe sinye elizweni phezu kwezintaba zakoIsrayeli, babuswe yinkosinye, bangabe besaba yizizwe ezimbili lemibuso emibili eyehlukeneyo. |
| 23. | Kabasayikuzingcolisa futhi ngezithombe zabo langezinto zabo ezenyanyekayo, langeziphambeko zabo. Kodwa ngizabakhupha kukho konke ukuhlamuka abona ngakho, ngibahlambulule babe ngabantu bami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo. |
| 24. | Inceku yami uDavida uzakuba yiNkosi yabo, babe lomelusi munye. Bazalandela imithetho yami, bananzelele ukugcina izimiso zami. |
| 25. | Bazahlala elizweni elalihlala oyihlo engalinika inceku yami uJakobe; bona kanye labantwana babo labantwana babantwana babo bahlale khona kokuphela. UDavida inceku yami uzakuba yisiphathamandla sabo kokuphela. |
| 26. | Ngizakwenza labo isivumelwano sokuthula, sibe yisivumelwano esilaphakade. Ngizababusisa ngibandise, ngakhe indlu yami engcwele phakathi kwabo kokuphela. |
| 27. | Indawo yami yokuhlala izakuba kibo, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, babe ngabantu bami. |
| 28. | Khona izizwe zizakwazi ukuthi mina Nkosi ngenza uIsrayeli abe ngcwele nxa indlu yami engcwele isiphakathi kwabo kokuphela. |
