2 Ngalelolanga ngizawasusa amabizo ezithombe elizweni ukuze zingakhunjulwa njalo," kutsho uThixo uSomandla. "Ngizabasusa abaphrofethi kanye lomoya wokungcola phakathi kwelizwe.
3 Nxa ezabe elokhu ekhona ophrofethayo, uyise lonina abamzalayo bazakuthi kuye, ‘Kumele ufe ngoba usukhulume amanga ngegama likaThixo .’ Uzakuthi ephrofitha abazali bakhe ngokwabo bazamgwaza.
4 Ngalelolanga ngulowo lalowo umphrofethi uzaba lamanhloni ngombono wakhe wokuphrofetha. Akayikwembatha isivunulo somphrofethi esoboya ezama ukukhohlisa.
5 Uzakuthi, ‘Kangisuye umphrofethi, ngingumlimi; umhlabathi uyilapho okulokuphila kwami kusukela ebutsheni bami’
6 Aluba ebuzwa kuthiwe, ‘Ngawani amanxeba la asemzimbeni wakho?’ Uzaphendula athi, ‘Ngamanxeba engawazuza endlini yabangane bami.’
7 Vuka, wena nkemba, vukela umelusi wami, uvukele umuntu osekhwapheni lami!" kutsho uThixo uSomandla. "Tshaya umelusi, izimvu zizahlakazeka, njalo ngizaphendula isandla sami ngitshaye ezincinyane.
8 Kulolonke ilizwe," kutsho uThixo , "ezimbili kwezintathu zizatshaywa zife; kodwa ingxenye yesithathu izasala kulo.
9 Le ingxenye yesithathu ngizayifaka emlilweni; ngizabancibilikisa ngibacenge njengesiliva ngibahlolisise njengegolide. Bazalibiza ibizo lami, lami ngizabaphendula; ngizakuthi, ‘Bangabantu bami,’ labo bazakuthi, ‘ UThixo unguNkulunkulu wethu.’ "
