UYeremiya 7: 23- 28

7:23 Kodwa ke ndabayalela ngalo mbandela, esithi: Phulaphula ilizwi lam, ndibe nguThixo wenu, nibe ngabantu bam. nihambe ngendlela yonke endiniyalele yona, ukuze kulunge kuni.
7:24 Kodwa abazange baphulaphule, yaye abazange bayithobe indlebe yabo. Kunoko, bahamba ngokuthanda kwabo nangokonakala kwentliziyo yabo. Kwaye, babuya umva, kwaye hayi phambili,
7:25 kususela kwimini yokuphuma kooyise ezweni laseYiputa, unanamhla. Kwaye ndibathume bonke abakhonzi bam, abaprofeti, eya kuwe, imini yonke, evuka ekukhanyeni kuqala kwaye ebathumela.
7:26 Kodwa abandiphulaphulanga, kananjalo abathanga bayithobe indlebe yabo. Kunoko, bazenza lukhuni iintamo zabo, baziphethe kakubi kunooyise.
7:27 Kwaye, uwathethe kubo la mazwi onke, kodwa abayi kukuphulaphula. Kwaye uya kubiza kubo, kodwa abayi kusabela kuwe.
7:28 Kwaye uya kuthi kubo: Lulo olu uhlanga olungaliphulaphuliyo ilizwi likaYehova uThixo walo, okanye alwamkele uqeqesho. Ukholo lutshabalele, lususiwe emlonyeni wabo.

ULuka 11: 14- 23

11:14 And he was casting out a demon, and the man was mute. But when he had cast out the demon, the mute man spoke, and so the crowds were amazed.
11:15 But some of them said, “It is by Beelzebub, the leader of demons, that he casts out demons.”
11:16 And others, ukumvavanya, required a sign from heaven of him.
11:17 But when he perceived their thoughts, wathi kubo: “Every kingdom divided against itself will become desolate, and house will fall upon house.
11:18 Ngoko ke, if Satan is also divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that it is by Beelzebub that I cast out demons.
11:19 But if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your own sons cast them out? Ngoko ke, they shall be your judges.
11:20 Ngaphezu koko, if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then certainly the kingdom of God has overtaken you.
11:21 When a strong armed man guards his entrance, the things that he possesses are at peace.
11:22 But if a stronger one, overwhelming him, has defeated him, he will take away all his weapons, in which he trusted, and he will distribute his spoils.
11:23 Whoever is not with me, is against me. And whoever does not gather with me, scatters.
