1Buyela kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, Israyeli, ngokuba ukhubekile ngobubi bakho.

2Thabathani amazwi, nibuyele kuJehova, nithi kuye: “Susa konke okubi, wamukele okuhle, sinikele ngemilomo yethu njengangezinkunzi.

3I-Asiriya aliyikusisindisa, asisayikukhwela amahhashi, singasasho kuyo imisebenzi yezandla zethu ukuthi ngonkulunkulu bethu, ngokuba intandane iphiwa umusa kuwe.”

4“Ngiyakuphulukisa ukuhlehla kwabo, ngibathande ngesihle, ngokuba intukuthelo yami ibuyile kubo.

5Ngiyakuba njengamazolo ku-Israyeli; uyakukhahlela njengomnduze, enabise izimpande zakhe njengeLebanoni.

6Imixhantela yakhe iyakuxhantela, ubuhle bakhe bube njengomnqumo, iphunga lakhe libe njengeLebanoni.

7Bayakubuya, bahlale emthunzini wakhe, babuye baphile njengamabele, bakhahlele njengomvini, igama lakhe lodumo libe njengomvini waseLebanoni.

8Efrayimi, ngisenendabani nezithombe na? Mina ngiyakumphendula, ngimbheke; nginjengomsayipuresi* oluhlaza, kimina izithelo zakho ziyafunyanwa.”

9Ngubani ohlakaniphile, aqonde lezi zinto; ngubani onomqondo, azazi, na? Ngokuba izindlela zikaJehova zilungile; abalungileyo bayakuhamba ngazo, kepha abaphambukayo bayakukhubeka ngazo.
