Wenza izihloko ezimbili ngethusi elibunjiweyo ukuba zibekwe phezu kwezinsika; ubude besinye isihloko babuyizingalo eziyisihlanu , nobude besinye isihloko babuyizingalo eziyisihlanu.

Kepha uJehova wathi kuSamuweli : Ungabheki isimo sakhe nobude bomzimba wakhe, ngokuba ngimalile, lokhu uJehova engabuki si okomuntu; umuntu ubheka okusemehlweni, kepha uJehova ubheka okusenhliziyweni.

Umuzi umi unezinhlangothi ezine , nobude bawo bungangobubanzi bawo . Walinganisa umuzi ngohlanga, amastadiyu ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili, ubude nobubanzi nokuphakama kwawo kulingene.

nibe namandla oku qonda kanye nabangcwele bonke okungububanzi , nobude, nokuphakama, nokujula,

ukuba umthande uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho , ulilalele izwi lakhe , unamathele kuye , ngokuba lokho kungukuphila kwakho nobude bezinsuku zakho, ukuze uhlale ezweni uJehova alifungela oyihlo, o-Abrahama, no-Isaka, noJakobe, ukubanika lona.

Walinganisa ububanzi besikhala sesango : yizingalo eziyishumi ; nobude besango: yizingalo eziyishumi nantathu;

Indawo egandayiweyo yayiseceleni kwamasango , ilingene nobude bamasango; lokhu kwakuyindawo egandayiweyo ephansi.
