4 “Uma ufumana inkabi yesitha sakho noma imbongolo yaso iduka, yibuyisele kuso. 5Uma ubona imbongolo yalowo okuzondayo ipatalele phansi komthwalo, uyoyeka yini ukuyikhulula? Yelekelele ukuze ikhululeke.

16 “Uyogubha umkhosi wokuvuna wezithelo zokuqala zomsebenzi wakho owuhlwanyele ensimini.
“Ugubhe umkhosi wokuqoqa konke okulime ensimini ekupheleni konyaka. 17 Kathathu ngonyaka bonke abesilisa bakho bayokuza phambi kweNkosi uSimakade.
