| 13. | Uzakuba ngopheleleyo e Nkosi ni uNkulunkulu wakho. |
| 14. | Ngoba izizwe lezi, ozakudla ilifa lazo, zalalela abachasisa ngemibono labavumisi; kodwa wena, i Nkosi uNkulunkulu wakho kayikuvumelanga okunjalo. |
| 15. | I Nkosi uNkulunkulu wakho izakuvusela uMprofethi ophuma phakathi kwakho kubafowenu onjengami; yena limlalele. |
| 16. | Njengakho konke owakucelayo e Nkosi ni uNkulunkulu wakho eHorebe ngosuku lokuhlangana, usithi: Kangingaphindi ngilizwe ilizwi le Nkosi uNkulunkulu wami, ngingabe ngisawubona lumlilo omkhulu, ukuze ngingafi. |

| 19. | Kuzakuthi-ke loba ngubani ongayikulalela amazwi ami azawakhuluma ebizweni lami, ngizakubuza kuye. |
| 20. | Kodwa umprofethi oziqhenya ekhuluma ilizwi ebizweni lami engingamlayanga ukulikhuluma, loba ekhuluma ebizweni labanye onkulunkulu, lowomprofethi uzakufa. |
| 21. | Njalo uba usithi enhliziyweni yakho: Sizakwazi njani ilizwi i Nkosi engalikhulumanga? |
| 22. | Lapho umprofethi ekhuluma ebizweni le Nkosi, uba leyonto ingenzeki kumbe ingafiki, lelo yilizwi i Nkosi engalikhulumanga; umprofethi ulikhulume ngokuziqhenya; ungamesabi. |
