“UNkulunkulu uzobehlulela
abaqotho nezikhohlakali,
ngokuba yonke indaba
nomsebenzi kubekelwe
isikhathi sakho.”
18 Ngathi enhliziyweni yami: “Maqondana nabantu, uNkulunkulu uyabavivinya ukuze bazibonele ukuthi banjengezilwane. 19 Ngokuba okuvelela abantu kuyafana nokwehlela izilwane; njengoba umuntu efa, kanjalo nesilwane siyafa. Konke kunomoya ofanayo, umuntu akazedluli izilwane, ngokuba konke kuyize. 20 Konke kuya endaweni eyodwa; konke kuvela othulini, konke kubuyela othulini. 21 Ngubani owaziyo ukuthi umoya womuntu uyenyuka kuthi owesilwane wehlele emhlabeni na?”
22 Ngakho-ke ngabona ukuthi akukho okungcono kunokuba umuntu athokoze ngomsebenzi wakhe, ngokuba lokho kuyisabelo sakhe; ngubani ongamenza abone okuyakwenzeka nxa esefile na?
