- Ngoko ke mna Nebhukadenezare ndiyambonga ndimdumisa ndimzukisa uKumkani osezulwini. Kaloku konke akwenzayo kulungile, nezenzo zakhe zifanelekile. Ke bona abanekratshi yena uyabathoba.
- Nguye umtyhili weentsonkotha ezifihlakeleyo;
nezisemnyameni izinto yena uyazazi.
Ngenene yena ulikhaya lokukhanya. - Ndandingatyi kutya kodidi, nditsho nenyama nawayini zange ndizifake emlonyeni wam, yaye zange ndithambise nokuthambisa kwada kwadlula ezo veki zintathu.
- Wena Thixo woobawo, ndiyakudumisa,
ndikubulela kuba wena undizimasile.
Undithe jize ngobulumko namandla.
Nangoku wena undityhilele,
wawuphendula umthandazo wethu.
Ewe, usityhilele le nto ifunwa ngukumkani. - Sonile senza ubugwenxa nobubi! Sikuvukele sayityeshela imiyalelo nemithetho owasinika yona.
- Abantu abaninzi baya kuhlanjululwa, bacoceke, bacikizeke; ke bona abantu abakhohlakeleyo baya kuqhubela phambili ngenkohlakalo yabo. Xa bebonke abakhohlakeleyo baya kuncitheka bangaqondi; ke zona izilumko ziya kuqonda.
