    IBhayibhili Elingcwele

    •  9 Yena waphendula wathi, “Hamba uyetshela abantu laba uthi:

      ‘Lizakuzwa kanengi,

      Kodwa alisoze lizwisise;

      Lizabona kanengi,

      Kodwa alisoze libe lolwazi.’+

      10 Yenza inhliziyo zabantu laba zibe lukhuni,+

      Wenze indlebe zabo zibe buthundu,+

      Uvale lamehlo abo

      Ukuze bangaboni ngamehlo abo,

      Futhi bangezwa ngendlebe zabo,

      Ukwenzela ukuthi bangazwisisi ngezinhliziyo zabo,

      Njalo bangaphenduki basiliswe.”

    • 14 Okwaphrofethwa ngu-Isaya kuyagcwaliseka kubo. Wathi: ‘Lizakuzwa sibili kodwa alisoze lafa lazwisisa, futhi lizakhangela kodwa alisoze labona loba sekutheni.+ 15 Phela inhliziyo zabantu laba sezibe lukhuni. Bazwile ngendlebe zabo kodwa abenzanga lutho njalo bawavalile amehlo abo ukuze bangaboni. Bavale lendlebe zabo ukuze bangezwa futhi bangazwisisi ngezinhliziyo zabo, okwenza bangaphenduki ngibasilise.’+
