| 23. | Yinxweme imibuzwana yobudenge engenangqeqesho, usazi ukuba izala imfazwe. |
| 24. | Ke umkhonzi weNkosi akamele kulwa; umele ukuba nokuthantamisa kubantu bonke, enokufundisa, enyamezela ububi, |
| 25. | ebaqeqesha ngobulali abo baphikayo; ukuba akangethi na kanti uThixo abaphe inguquko esa ekuyazini inyaniso, |
| 26. | babuye baqabuke, baphume esibatheni sakhe uMtyholi, ababanjiselwe ukuthanda kwakhe nguye. |
