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:

20. Lowo ke uhlwayelwa ezindaweni ezilulwalwa, ngulo ulivayo ilizwi, alamkele kwaoko ngovuyo;
