Manje bhekani, inkosi iyahamba phambi kwenu; mina sengimdala, ngiyimpunga; nanka amadodana ami akini; ngihambile phambi kwenu kwasebusheni bami kuze kube namuhla. Bhekani, ngilapha: fakazani ngami phambi kukaJehova naphambi kogcotshiweyo wakhe ukuthi ngithathe inkabi kabani, ngithathe imbongolo kabani, ngikhohlisile ubani, ngicindezele ubani, ngamukele umvuzo esandleni sikabani ukuba ngifihle amehlo ami ngawo na? Ngiyakukubuyisela kini.” Bathi: “Awusikhohlisanga, awusicindezelanga, awamukelanga lutho esandleni samuntu.”
