iMizekeliso 22:17-29

Thoba indlebe yakho, uve amazwi ezilumko, Uyibhekise intliziyo yakho ekwazini kwam. Ngokuba kumnandi, xa uthe wawagcina embilinini; ziya kuwufanela umlomo wakho. Ukuze ithemba lakho likuYehova, ndikwazisile namhlanje. Andinibhalelanga na izinto ezimangalisayo, ezinamacebo nokwazi? Ndiya kwazisa inyaniso yamazwi enyaniso; Ukuba uphendule amazwi enyaniso, ubaphendule abo bakuthumayo? Musa ukusihlutha isisweli, ngokuba lilihlwempu; uze ungawacinezeli amahlwempu emnyango. Ngenxa yokuba uYehova uya kubamela aze awutshabalalise umphefumlo wabo baphangayo. Musani ukunxulumana nomntu onomsindo; kwaye ungahambi nomntu onomsindo. Hleze ungazifundi iindlela zayo, Uwufumanele umgibe umphefumlo wakho. Musa ukuba phakathi kwabaqhwabayo, Ozibambisayo ngezinto ezibolekiweyo. Ukuba uthe akwaba nanto yakuhlawula, Yini na ukuba athabathe ukhuko lwakho phantsi kwakho? Musa ukuwususa umda omdala, abawumisayo ooyihlo; Uyambona na umntu okhutheleyo? uya kuma phambi kookumkani; akanakuma phambi kongendawo.
