UNehemiya 5:14-16

Kusukela ngosuku inkosi u-Arithahishashitha eyangibeka ngalo ngaba ngumbusi wabo ezweni lakwaJuda, ngonyaka wama-20 wokubusa kwayo, kuze kube ngunyaka wama-32, okuyiminyaka eli-12 isiyonke, mina nabafowethu asidlanga sabelo sombusi. Ababusi engibalandelayo babethwesa abantu umthwalo onzima, befuna intela yokudla newayini, ngaphezu kwezinhlamvu ezingama-40 zesiliva abebevele bezikhokha. Ngisho nezinceku zabo zabacindezela abantu, kodwa mina angenzanga kanjalo, ngenxa yokwesaba uNkulunkulu. Ngasebenza ngokuzikhandla emsebenzini wami wokwakha kabusha ugange, angizange ngizithengele nsimu. Zonke izinceku zami zazimatasatasa ekwakhiweni kabusha kogange.
