7 Kusukela ngelanga engakhipha ngalo okhokho benu elizweni leGibhithe kuze kube lamuhla, bengilokhu ngibakhuza* ngisithi: “Lalelani ilizwi lami.”+ 8 Kodwa abazange balalele loba babe lendaba lalokho engangikutsho. Bonke baqinisa amakhanda balandela inhliziyo zabo ezimbi.+ Abazange benze engangibatshele khona, yikho ngabehlisela konke okusemazwini esivumelwano lesi engabanika sona.’”
