“Nizwile futhi, kwathiwa kwabasendulo: ‘Ungafungi amanga, kepha uqinise izifungo zakho eNkosini.’ Kepha Mina ngithi kini: ningafungi nakanye, noma izulu, ngokuba liyisihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu, noma umhlaba, ngokuba uyisenabelo sezinyawo zakhe, noma iJerusalema, ngokuba lingumuzi weNkosi enkulu.

Ngokuba Yena uphumisa ilanga lakhe phezu kwababi nabahle, anise imvula yakhe phezu kwabalungileyo nabangalungile. Ngokuba uma nithanda abanithandayo, ninamvuzo muni na?
