Wabuye wathuma induna yesithathu yamashumi ayisihlanu inamashumi ayisihlanu ayo . Yakhuphuka le nduna yesithathu yamashumi ayisi hlanu, yafika yaguqa ngamadolo phambi kuka -Eliya, yamnxusa, yathi kuye : We muntu kaNkulunkulu , ukuphila kwami nokuphila kwalezi zinceku zakho ezingamashumi ayisihlanu makube yigugu emehlweni akho.

Amafasitele alo, nemengamo yalo, namasundu alo kwakunjengesilinganiso sesango elibheke ngasempumalanga; bakhuphukela kulo ngezinyathelo eziyisikhombisa; imengamo yalo yayiphambi kwalezi.

Omunye wathi kumuntu owembethe ilineni, owayephezu kwamanzi omfula: Kuyakuba nini ukuphela kwalezi zimangaliso na?
