Wathumela ilizwi lokuthi abizwe, esithi: “Zwana, kulesizwe esibuye lapha sivela eGibhithe njalo abantu bakhona bagcwele umhlaba wonke*+ futhi bahlezi khonapha phambi kwami. 6 Ngicela ubuye uzobaqalekisa abantu laba+ ngoba balamandla kulami. Mhlawumbe ngingabanqoba ngibadudule baphume elizweni ngoba ngikwazi mhlophe ukuthi lowo ombusisayo uyabusiswa lokuthi lowo omqalekisayo uyaqalekiswa.”
