UDuteronomi 8:7-14

Ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukungenisa ezweni elihle, izwe lemifudlana yamanzi, nemithombo, nezitwa eziphuma ezigodini nasemagqumeni; Izwe likakolweni nelebhali nezivini nemikhiwane namahalananda; izwe lamafutha omnqumo nezinyosi; Izwe lapho uyakudla khona ungenayo isinkwa, awuyikuswelakala kulo; izwe elimatshe alo ayinsimbi, nezintaba zalo ningamba ithusi. Lapho usudlile usuthe, kumelwe udumise uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngezwe elihle akunike lona. Ziqaphele ukuba ungamkhohlwa uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngokungagcini imiyalo yakhe, nezimiso zakhe, nezimiso zakhe engikuyala ngakho namuhla. Bhekani, nxa senidlile, nasutha, nakha izindlu ezinhle, nihlale kuzo; Uma izinkomo zakho nezimvu zakho zanda, isiliva lakho negolide lakho kwanda, nakho konke onakho kwanda; Khona inhliziyo yakho iziphakamisile, ukhohlwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho owakukhipha ezweni laseGibithe, endlini yobugqila
