Celani kuJehova imvula ngesikhathi semvula yamuva, uJehova owenza imibani, abesebanika izihlambi zemvula, yilowo nalowo aphiwe utshani ezweni lakhe.

Ngokuba amatherafi akhulumile okuyize, nababhuli babone okungamanga; bakhuluma amaphupho angelutho, baduduza ngeze; ngalokho bayasuka njengezimvu, bathotshisiwe, ngokuba kungekho umalusi.

“Intukuthelo yami ivuthele abelusi; ngiyakujezisa izimpongo, ngokuba uJehova Sebawoti uyakuhambela umhlambi wakhe, indlu yakwaJuda, abenze babe njengehhashi elinobukhosi ekulweni.

Kuyena kuyakuphuma itshe legumbi, kuyena isikhonkwane, kuyena umnsalo wempi, kuyena bonke ababusi kanyekanye.

Nalapho ngibahlwanyela phakathi kwabantu, bayakungikhumbula ezindaweni ezikude, baphile kanye nabantwana babo, babuye.
