20 Koma monga mkazi wosakhulupirika amasiya mwamuna wake,
momwemonso inu mwakhala osakhulupirika kwa Ine, inu fuko la Israeli,”

21 Mawu akumveka pa magomo,
Aisraeli akulira ndi kupempha chifundo

22 Inu mukuti, “Bwererani, anthu osakhulupirika;

“Inde, tidzabwerera kwa Inu
pakuti ndinu Yehova Mulungu wathu.
23 Ndithu kupembedza pa magomo

Zoonadi chipulumutso cha Israeli

24 Kuyambira pa ubwana wathu milungu yochititsa manyazi ija yakhala ikutiwonongetsa phindu
