UJehova uNkulunkulu wathi enyokeni : Njengokuba usukwenzile lo kho, uqalekisiwe phakathi kwezilwane zonke naphakathi kwazo zonke izilwane zasendle; uzakuhamba ngesisu sakho, udle uthuli izinsuku zonke zokuhamba kwakho.

Uvalo nokwesabeka kwenu akube phezu kwezilwane zonke zomhlaba , naphezu kwazo zonke izinyoni zezulu , naphezu kwakho konke okunwabuzelayo em hlabeni, naphezu kwazo zonke izinhlanzi, kunikezelwe ezandleni zenu.

Yeka, ukububula kwezilwane ! Imihlambi yezinkomo ikhungathekile , ngokuba ayinadlelo, yebo, nemihlambi yezimvu izithwese icala.

osifundisa phezu kwezilwane zomhlaba, asenze sihlakaniphe phezu kwezinyoni zezulu.

Ngiyakukulahla ehlane , wena nazo zonke izinhlanzi zemifula yakho , uwe ebusweni bomhlabathi ; awuyikubuthwa, ulandwe; ngiyakukunika ube ngukudla kwezilwane zomhlaba nokwezinyoni zezulu.

Insali yakwaJakobe iyakuba phakathi kwezizwe , phakathi kwabantu abaningi, njengengonyama phakathi kwezilwane zasehlathini , njengebhongo lengonyama phakathi kwemihlambi yezimvu , elithi lapho lidabula , linyathele, lidwengule, kungekho owophulayo.

Ngokuba indluzula eyenziwe eLebanoni iyakukusibekela , ukuchithwa kwezilwane kukwesabise , ngenxa yezingazi zabantu nendluzula eyenziwe ezweni, nasemzini, nakubo bonke abakhe kuwo.

Yiwo umuzi owajabula wahlala ulondekile , owathi enhliziyweni yawo : Mina ngikhona , akakho omunye ; yeka ukuphenduka kwawo incithakalo nendawo yokubuthisa kwezilwane ! Bonke abadlula kuwo bayakuncimfa , banikine isandla sabo.
