23 Want wederstrewigheid is 'n sonde van waarsêery, en eiesinnigheid is afgodery en beeldediens. Omdat jy die woord van die HERE verwerp het, het Hy jou as koning verwerp.

23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
