IDutheronomi 20:1-4

“Nxa uphuma uyokulwa nezitha zakho, bese ubona amahhashi, izinqola, nabantu abaningi kunawe, ungabesabi, ngokuba uSimakade uNkulunkulu wakho unawe, Yena owakukhuphula eGibhithe. Kuyothi lapho nisondela empini, umphristi afike akhulume kubantu, athi kubo: ‘Yizwa, Israyeli! Namuhla nisondela empini ukuhlasela izitha zenu; inhliziyo yenu mayingadangali, ningesabi, ningaqhaqhazeli, ningabi natwetwe phambi kwazo. USimakade uNkulunkulu wakho nguye ohamba nani, anilwele nezitha zenu ukuze aniphe ukunqoba.’
