23 UJehova wathi kuye: “Esibelethweni sakho kuneentjhaba ezimbili,+ yeke uzokubeletha iintjhaba ezimbili,+ esinye sizokuba namandla kunesinye+ begodu indodana ekulu izokuba sisebenzi sendodana encani.”+

26 Ngemva kwalokho, kwalandela umfowabo wavela abambe isithende saka-Esewu,+ wamthiya wathi nguJakopo.*+ U-Isaka bekaneminyaka ema-60 uRabega nakabelethako.

29 Abantu abakusebenzele begodu iintjhaba zikuthobele. Ube yikosi phezu kwabafowenu begodu amadodana kanyoko akuthobele.+ Nanyana ngubani okuqalekisako uzokuqalekiswa begodu nanyana ngubani okubusisako naye uzokubusiswa.”+

37 U-Isaka waphendula u-Esewu wathi: “Ngimtjele ngathi uzokuba yikosi phezu kwakho,+ ngathi boke abafowabo bazokuba ziinsebenzi zakhe begodu ngamupha ikoroyi newayini elitjha.+ Alo yini eseleko engizabe ngisakwenzela yona ndodanami?”
