- Kaloku ndim okuyalelayo. Yomelela ke, ukhaliphe. Uze ungoyiki unkwantye; kaloku mna Ndikhoyo Thixo wakho ndiya kusoloko ndisecaleni kwakho naphi na apho unyathela khona.
- Kufuneka incwadi yomthetho ikukhokele kuyo yonke into oyithethayo. Uze uyifunde uyigocagoce ubusuku nemini, uzazi uzithobele izinto ezibhaliweyo kuyo. Xa wenjenjalo woba nenkqubela nempumelelo.
- Kambe maze ninyaniseke ngokupheleleyo ekuwuthobeleni umyalelo nomthetho eniwuwiselwe nguMosis isicaka sikaNdikhoyo, othi: ‘Mthande uNdikhoyo uThixo wakho; mthobele ezintweni zonke, uyigcine imiyalelo yakhe, unamathele kuye, umkhonze ngomxhelo wonke nangomoya wakho wonke.’
- Ke ukuba kubi emehlweni enu ukumkhonza uNdikhoyo, khethani ngoku, ukuba nokhonza bani na nina, phakathi koothixo baseMesopotami booyihlo noothixo bama-Amori enimi kumhlaba wawo. Kodwa mna kunye nomzi wam, siya kukhonza uNdikhoyo.
- Ngoku ke sendiza kufa. Nazi mhlophe ezintliziyweni zenu nasemiphefumlweni yenu ukuba akukho nanye into ayithembisileyo angayenzanga uNdikhoyo; ewe, akukho nanye into ayithethileyo angayiphumelelisanga.
- “Yahlukanani ke nazo ezo zithixo zasemzini ninazo,” watsho uYoshuwa, “nize ke nizinikele ngomxhelo wonke kuNdikhoyo uThixo kaSirayeli.”
- Bathi abantu kuYoshuwa: “Thina sokhonza uNdikhoyo uThixo wethu, siphulaphule ilizwi lakhe.”

Ivesi yeBhayibhile yosuku
Ninoyolo nina xa bathe abantu baningcikiva ngenxa yam, benitshutshisa, bethetha zonke izinto ezikhohlakeleyo ngani bexoka.Ivesi yeBhayibhile engaqhelekanga
Waphendula ke esithi:“Ngaba umfazi angalulibala na usana lwakhe,
ade angavakalelwa ngowakhe umntwana?
Noba ke yena angade amlibale,
okokwam ke mna soze ndikufulathele,
kuba igama lakho ndilivambile,
ndilithe tyaba esandleni sam;
iindonga zakho zihlala zisemehlweni am.”Ivesi elandelayo!
