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 to go against his orders is like the sin of those who make use of secret arts, and pride is like giving worship to images. Because you have put away from you the word of the Lord, he has put you from your place as king.
