34. ke ngoko ndiyanibongoza ukuba nidle ukudla; kuba oko kuyelelene nokusindiswa kwenu; kuba akuyi kuwa nalunwele lwentloko kabani kuni.
35. Ke kaloku, akuba etshilo, wathabatha isonka, wabulela kuThixo emehlweni abo bonke; waqhekeza, waqala wadla.
36. Bonke ke baba nomxhelo owonwabileyo, bathabatha ukudla nabo.
