UHezekeli 34:11-16

Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bheka, ngiyakuzihlola izimvu zami, ngizicinge. Njengomalusi ebheka umhlambi wakhe mhla ephakathi kwezimvu zakhe ezihlakazekileyo; ngiyakuzifuna izimvu zami, ngizikhulule kuzo zonke izindawo ezihlakazekele kuzo ngosuku lwamafu nolumnyama. Ngiyozihola ngizikhiphe ezizweni ngiziqoqe emazweni ngiziyise ezweni lazo futhi ngizenze ziklabe ezintabeni zakwa-Israyeli ngasemifuleni nakuzo zonke izindawo ezakhiweyo zezwe. Ngiyakuzalusela edlelweni elihle, nasezintabeni eziphakeme zakwa-Israyeli ayakuba yizibaya; ziyakulala khona edlelweni elihle, ziklabe edlelweni elivundile ezintabeni zakwa-Israyeli. Mina ngiyakwelusa izimvu zami, ngizenze zibuthise, isho iNkosi uJehova. Ngiyofuna elahlekile, futhi exoshiwe, ngizoyibuyisa, futhi ephukile, ngizoyibopha futhi egulayo ngizoyiqinisa; kepha okunonileyo nokunamandla ngiyakuchitha; ngizazondla ngokwahlulela.
