16 Zonke iinkozo zilungele ukutya kwabantu; kanjalo njengesiqhamo sesidiliya; eso sivelisa isiqhamo, nokokuba kusemhlabeni okanye ngaphezu komhlaba—
17 Nangona kunjalo, ingqolowa yeyomntu, nerhasi yeyenkomo, nehabile yeyehashe, narayi yeyentaka neehagu, nazo zonke izilwanyana zasendle, nerhasi yeyazo zonke izilwanyana ezinoncedo, nokwenza iziselo ezingenancasa ibukhali, kanjalo njengezinye iinkozo.
18 Kwaye bonke abangcwele abakhumbulayo ukugcina nokwenza ezi ntetho, behamba ekuthobeleni imiyalelo, baya kufumana impilo enkabeni yabo nomongo emathanjeni abo;
