1 AMakhosi 2:2-4

“Mina sengizohamba indlela ehanjwa yibo bonke abaphilayo, ngakho-ke wena qina, ube yindoda. Gcina isiyalezo akuyala ngaso uSimakade uNkulunkulu wakho, uhambe ezindleleni zakhe. Gcina izimiso zakhe, imithetho yakhe, imiyalo yakhe nobufakazi bakhe, njengalokhu kubhalwe emthethweni kaMose, ukuze uphumelele kukho konke oyokwenza nakulokho oyophendukela kukho. Ngalokho uSimakade uyakuqinisa izwi lakhe alikhuluma maqondana nami, lapho ethi: ‘Uma abozalo lwakho beyoqaphela indlela yabo, bahambe ngobuqotho phambi kwami ngenhliziyo yabo yonke nangawo wonke umphefumulo wabo, akuyukusweleka muntu kubo oyohlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sika-Israyeli.’
