“Kunini ngibiza, Somnini, ngifunana nesizo, kodwana soloko awuphenduli? Ngakurhuwelela ngathi, “Umguruguru!” kodwana kubayini ungasindisi?” (Rhabakhukhu 1:2, 3) La mamezwi atjhiwo nguRhabakhukhu, indoda elungileko ebeyamukelwa nguZimu. Kghani isibawo sakhe besiveza bona akanakho ukukholwa? Akusinjalo. UZimu waqinisekisa uRhabakhukhu bona ubeke isikhathi esifaneleko azokuqeda ngaso ubuhlungu.—Rhabakhukhu 2:2, 3.

IBhayibheli liyasiqinisekisa lithi: “UJehova akariyadi malungana nesithembiso sakhe, njengombana abanye bacabanga bona uyariyada, kodwana uyanibekezelela ngombana angafisi ukuthi namunye atjhabalale kodwana ufisa bona boke batjhuguluke.”—2 Pitrosi 3:9.
