Kamutatongaukanga pakati penu, kutineti Lesa ngaumombolosha. Bonani shikombolosha wemana kendi pacishinga.
10 Bazalwane, njengesibonelo sokubekezela ekuhluphekeni, khumbulani abaphrofethi abakhuluma ngebizo leNkosi.
Mobansebame, anukani cilesho ca bashinshimi balikwamba mulina lya Mwami. Balacana mapensho, nsombi baliya kubwelela kunyuma.

15 Umkhuleko owenziwe ngokukholwa uzakwenza lowomuntu ogulayo asile; iNkosi izamvusa. Nxa enze isono, uzathethelelwa.
Mupailo walushomo lulico nukamupulushe mulwashi, Mwami nakamubweshele ngofu, kayi bwipishi mbwalensa nibukalekelelwe.
16 Ngakho-ke, vumani izono zenu omunye komunye njalo likhulekelane ukuze lisiliswe. Umkhuleko womuntu olungileyo ulamandla njalo uyasebenza.

18 Wakhuleka futhi, amazulu aletha izulu, kwathi umhlaba lawo wathela izilimo zawo.
Nomba kayi mpwalapaila imfula yalaloka ne kumenesha mbuto.
19 Bazalwane bami, nxa omunye wenu ephambuka eqinisweni, omunye ambuyisele,
Mobansebame, na umbi utaika nekushiya cancinencine, munendi amubweshe,
