Ngikuthuma kubo, uzothi kubo: ‘Usho kanje uBaba oyiNkosi.’ 5Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bayalalela noma bayenqaba—ngokuba bayindlu ehlubukayo—bayokwazi ukuthi ubekhona umprofethi phakathi kwabo. 6Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, ungabesabi bona namazwi abo, nakuba ameva nezihlahla zameva zikanye nawe futhi uhlala phakathi kwawofezela. Ungawesabi amazwi abo, ungethuki ngenxa yobuso babo, ngokuba bayindlu ehlubukayo. 7Uyakuwakhuluma amazwi ami kubo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bayalalela noma bayenqaba, ngokuba bayahlubuka. 8Kodwa wena, ndodana yomuntu, lalela lokho engikukhuluma kuwe. Ungahlubuki njengaleyo ndlu ehlubukayo. Vula umlomo wakho udle lokho engikunika khona.”
