INkosi yasimemeza kuye esentabeni isithie: Uzakutsho njalo kuyo indlu kaJakobe, ubatshele abantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi: 4 Lina libonile lokho engikwenze kumaGibhithef, lokuthi ngalithwala phezu kwempiko zenkozi, ngaliletha kimig. 5 Ngakho-ke uba lilalela lokulalela ilizwi lami, ligcine isivumelwano samih, khona lizakuba yimfuyo ekhethekileyo kimi kulazo zonke izizwei; ngoba umhlaba wonke ungowamij; 6 njalo lizakuba ngumbuso wabapristik lesizwe esingcwele kimil.

Wonke othinta intaba uzabulawa lokubulawat. 13 Kakulasandla esizayithinta, kodwa sibili uzakhandwa ngamatshe loba sibili uzatshokwa; loba inyamazana loba umuntu, kakuyikuphila. Lapho uphondo lwenqama lukhala isikhathi eside bazakwenyukela entabeniu.
