12. Kuba osukuba enako, yena uya kuphiwa, aze abe nako ngokugqithiseleyo; kodwa osukuba engenako, uya kuhluthwa kwanoko anako.
13. Ngenxa yoko ndithetha nabo ngemizekeliso; ngokuba bebona nje bengaboni, besiva nje bengeva, bengaqondi nokuqonda.
14. Sizalisekele kubo ke isiprofeto sikaIsaya esithi,Ukuva niya kuva, ningakhe niqonde;Nithi nibona nje nibone, ningakhe niqiqe;
15. Kuba intliziyo yaba bantu ithe fithi kukutyeba,Beva ngeendlebe ezithe nkqi,Bayawacima namehlo abo;Hleze babone ngamehlo,Beve ngeendlebe,Baqonde ngentliziyo,Bajike,Ndibaphilise.(UIsaya 6:9,10)
16. Kodwa nina, anethamsanqa amehlo enu, ngokuba ebona; neendlebe zenu, ngokuba zisiva.
17. Kuba ndithi kuni, Inene, baninzi abaprofeti nabantu abangamalungisa, abanqweneláyo ukuzibona izinto enizibonayo àbazibona; nokuziva izinto enizivayo, àbaziva.
18. Nina ngoko wuveni umzekeliso womhlwayeli:
19. akubon' ukuba ubani uyaliva ilizwi lobukumkani, engaliqondi, uyafika ongendawo, akuhluthe okuhlwayelwe entliziyweni yakhe; lo nguye lowo wahlwayelwa ngasendleleni.
20. Lowo ke uhlwayelwa ezindaweni ezilulwalwa, ngulo ulivayo ilizwi, alamkele kwaoko ngovuyo;
21. abe ke engenangcambu ngaphakathi kwakhe, eme umzuzwana kodwa; uthi ke kwakuhla imbandezelo nokuba yintshutshiso ngenxa yelizwi, akhutyekiswe kwaoko.
22. Lowo ke uhlwayelwe emithaneni enameva, ngulo ulivayo ilizwi, lithi ke ixhala leli phakade, nokulukuhla kobutyebi, kuliminxe ilizwi, lisuke lingabi nasiqhamo.
