13. Lathi nqumama ke ilanga, yema inyanga,Lwada uhlanga lwaziphindezelela ezintshabeni zalo.Oku akubhalwanga na eNcwadini yOthe Tye? Lema ke ilanga esazulwini sezulu, alangxama ukutshona, yangathi yimini iphela.
14. Akuzanga kubekho mini injengaleyo, phambi kwayo nangasemva kwayo, ngokokude uYehova aliphulaphule izwi lomntu; ngokuba uYehova wawalwela amaSirayeli.
