3. athi: ‘Akuseduze yini ukuba kwakhiwe izindlu? Lo muzi uyikhanzi, thina siyinyama.’
4. Ngalokho profetha ngabo, uprofethe, ndodana yomuntu.”
5. UMoya kaJehova wehlela phezu kwami, wathi kimi: “Yisho uthi: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Nisho njalo nina ndlu ka-Israyeli; ngiyazi mina okungena emoyeni wenu.
