makulethwe ingubo yenkosi ekade iyembethe, nehhashi ebiligibele lifakwe umqhele wobukhosi ekhanda lalo, kumele agqokiswe ingubo egqokwa yinkosi, agitsheliswe ihhashi eligitshelwa yinkosi, lifakwe umqhele wobukhosi ekhanda lalo, bese kuthi esinye sezikhulu zakho eziqavile, simgqokise ingubo lowo muntu inkosi efuna ukumdumisa, simgibelise ehhashini, simhole siye naye eshashalazini lomuzi. Uma sesifike lapho siyomemezela, sithi: ‘Kuyokwenziwa kanje kumuntu inkosi efuna ukumdumisa!’ ” Inkosi yathi kuHamani: “Phuthuma uthathe ingubo nehhashi okhulume ngakho, ukwenze lokhu kuMoridekhayi, umJuda, ohlala esangweni lesigodlo senkosi. Ukwenze konke lokhu okushilo.”
