16. Ushisa inxenye yawo emlilweni;phezu kwale nxenye uyadla inyama,ose izoso, asuthe;yebo, uyotha athi:“Halala! Sengifudumele,ngibonile umlilo.”
17. Ngokuseleyo kuwo uyakwenza unkulunkulu nesithombe;uyakhothamela kuso, akhuleke kuso,athandaze kuso, athi:“Ngophule; ungunkulunkulu wami.”
18. Abazi, abaqondi,ngokuba unamekile amehlo abo ukuze bangaboni,nezinhliziyo zabo ukuze bangaqondi.
19. Akakho okhumbulayo,nokwazi nokuqonda akukho kokuba kuthiwe:“Ngishisile inxenye yawo ngomlilo,ngenzile isinkwa phezu kwamalahle awo,ngosile inyama, ngayidla;ngingenza okuseleyo kuwo kube yisinengiso,ngikhothamele umbhuku womuthi,” na?
