Lo uselithambo lamathambo ami,

lenyama yenyama yami;

uzakubizwa ngokuthi ngowesifazana,

ngoba ekhutshwe endodeni.

24Ngenxa yalokhu umuntu uzakutshiya uyise lonina, anamathele kumkakhe; bazakuba nyamanye.#Mat 19:5; Mark 10:7, 8; 1 Kor 6:16; Efe 5:31 25Babehambaze bobabili, umuntu lomkakhe, bengelamahloni.
