24. Wababekela omnye umzekeliso, esithi, Ubukumkani bamazulu bufanekiswa nomntu owahlwayela imbewu entle entsimini yakhe.

27. Bezile ke abakhonzi bomninindlu, bathi kuye, Nkosi, ubungahlwayelanga imbewu entle yini na entsimini yakho? Phofu iwuzuze phi na umdiza?

30. Yekani kukhule ndawonye kokubini, kude kube sekuvuneni; ngenxa ke lokuvuna ndothi kubavuni, Buthani kuqala umdiza, niwubophe ube zizithungu, utshiswe, kodwa yona ingqolowa yihlanganiseleni kuvimba wam.
31. Wababekela omnye umzekeliso, esithi, Ubukumkani bamazulu bufana nokhozo lwemostade, awaluthabathayo umntu, waluhlwayela entsimini yakhe;

34. Ezi ndawo zonke uYesu wazithetha ngemizekeliso kuzo izihlwele; akathethanga kungengamzekeliso kuzo;
35. ukuze kuzaliseke okwathethwayo ngomprofeti, esithi,Ndiya kuwuvula ngemizekeliso umlomo wam,Ndiya kukhupha izinto ezazifihliwe kwasekusekweni kwehlabathi.(INdum. 78:2)
