¹¹Nomusi wokuhlushwa kwabo uyenyuka kuze kube phakade naphakade; abasenakuphumula imini nobusuku abakhuleka kuso isilo nomfanekiso waso nalowo owamukela uphawu lwegama laso.”

¹³Ngase ngizwa izwi livela ezulwini, lithi: “Loba ukuthi: Babusisiwe abafileyo abafele eNkosini kusukela kulesi sikhathi.” “Yebo,” usho uMoya, “ukuze baphumule ekukhandlekeni kwabo; ngokuba imisebenzi yabo iyabalandela.”

¹⁴Ngase ngibona; bheka, nanto ifu elimhlophe, naphezu kwefu kuhlezi ofana nendodana yomuntu enomqhele wegolide ekhanda lakhe nasesandleni sakhe enesikela elibukhali.

¹⁵Enye ingelosi yayisiphuma ethempelini, imemeza ngezwi elikhulu, ithi kohlezi phezu kwefu: “Faka isikela lakho, uvune, ngokuba kufikile isikhathi sokuvuna, ngokuba sekomile okuvunwayo komhlaba.”
