USimakade wabona ukuthi ububi babantu sebubukhulu emhlabeni nokuthi izizindlo zezinhliziyo zabo zihlala zizimbi njalo, wayesezisola uSimakade ukuthi ubadaleleni abantu emhlabeni. Lokho kwamkhathaza enhliziyweni yakhe, wayesethi: “Ngizobashaya ngibaqothule ebusweni bomhlaba abantu engibadalileyo. Abantu nezilwane, izilwane ezihuquzelayo, nezinyoni zezulu, ngokuba ngiyazisola ukuthi ngikudaleleni.” Nokho uNowa wafumana umusa emehlweni kaSimakade. Nanku umlando kaNowa nezizukulwane zakhe. UNowa wayengumuntu oqotho, engenasici esizukulwaneni sakhe, ehamba noNkulunkulu.
