7. Wathetha ke ukumkani kumfo wakwaThixo, wathi, Hamba siye ekhaya, uzixhase, ndikunike isipho.
8. Wathi umfo wakwaThixo kukumkani, Ùngafanelana uthe wandinika isiqingatha sendlu yakho, andingekhe ndiye nawe, andingekhe ndidle sonka, andingekhe ndisele manzi kule ndawo.
9. Ngokuba kwenjiwa nje ukumiselwa kwam lilizwi likaYehova, kwathiwa, Uze ungadli sonka, ungaseli manzi, ungabuyi ngendlela obuzé ngayo.
10. Waza wahamba ngandlela yimbi, akabuya ngendlela abeze ngayo eBheteli.
11. Ke kaloku kwakuhleli eBheteli umprofeti othile, obeseleyindoda enkulu; weza unyana wakhe, wamcacisela konke awakwenzayo umfo wakwaThixo loo mini eBheteli; namazwi awawathethayo kukumkani, wawacacisa kuyise.
12. Wathi uyise kubo, Úhambé ngayiphi na indlela? Babeyibonile ke indlela oonyana bakhe, ahambe ngayo umfo wakwaThixo, owayevele kwaYuda.

15. Wathi kuye, Hamba siye ekhaya, udle isonka.
16. Wathi yena, Andinakubuya nawe; andinakungena nawe; andiyi kudla sonka, andiyi kusela manzi nawe kule ndawo;
17. kuba kuthiwe kum lilizwi likaYehova, Uze ungadli sonka, ungaseli manzi khona, ungabuyi uhambe ngendlela obuze ngayo.
18. Wathi kuye, Ndingumprofeti nam njengawe; kuthethe isithunywa sezulu kum ngelizwi likaYehova, sisithi, Mbuyise, eze nawe endlwini yakho, adle isonka, asele amanzi.
19. Watsho emxokisa. Wabuya ke naye, wadla isonka endlwini yakhe, wasela amanzi.
20. Kwathi, behleli etafileni apho, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuloo mprofeti ubembuyisile;

22. wesuka wabuya, wadla isonka, wasela amanzi kule ndawo awathetha ngayo kuwe, esithi, Uze ungadli sonka, ungaseli manzi: isidumbu sakho asiyi kungena engcwabeni looyihlo.
23. Kwathi emveni kokudla kwakhe isonka, emveni kokusela kwakhe, wambophela iesile umprofeti lowo abembuyisile.

25. Kwabonakala kudlula amadoda; asibona isidumbu eso siqungquluzile endleleni, imi ingonyama leyo ecaleni lesidumbu; afika axela kuloo mzi, abehleli kuwo umprofeti obeseleyindoda enkulu.
26. Weva umprofeti obembuyise endleleni, wathi, Ngulaa mfo wakwaThixo uwuphikisileyo umlomo kaYehova. UYehova umnikele engonyameni; yamqoba, yambulala ngokwelizwi likaYehova, abelithethe kuye.
