11 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,12 Nyana womntu, mphakamisele isimbonono ukumkani waseTire, uthi kuye, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Wena lutywino lwesakhiwo esilinganiselweyo kakuhle, uzeleyo bubulumko, umhle kwaphela.13 Ubuse-Eden emyezweni kaThixo; onke amatye anqabileyo abe esisigubungelo sakho: isardiyo, netopazi, nedayimani, nekrizolite, nebherilo, neyaspisi, nesafire, nekarbhunkolo, nesmarado, negolide; umsebenzi weengqondi zakho nowamankazana akho waye ukuwe; ngemini yokudalwa kwakho ezo zinto zalungiswa.14 Waye uyikerubhi ethanjisiweyo, egqubuthelayo; ndakwenza ke, waba sentabeni engcwele kaThixo, wahambahamba phakathi kwamatye anomlilo.15 Wagqibelela ngeendlela zakho, kususela kwimini yokudalwa kwakho, kwada kwafumaneka ubugqwetha kuwe.16 Ngobuninzi borhwebo lwakho umbilini wakho wazala kukugonyamela, wona ke. Ndiya kulahla wena, ngokwento engcolileyo, umke entabeni kaThixo; ndikutshabalalise, kerubhi igqubuthelayo, usuke phakathi kwamatye anomlilo.17 Intliziyo yakho iphakamile ngenxa yobuhle bakho, ubonakalisile ubulumko bakho kunye nokubengezela kwakho. Ndikukhahlela emhlabeni ndikwenze ube ngumbonelo phambi kokumkani.18 Ngobuninzi bobugwenxa bakho, ebugqwetheni borhwebo lwakho, uzihlambele iingcwele zakho; ndivelisa ke umlilo kwaphakathi kwakho; uya kukutshisa wona, ndikwenze ube luthuthu emhlabeni, emehlweni abo bonke abakubonayo.19 Bonke abakwaziyo ezizweni baya kumangaliswa nguwe, usuke ube sisikhwankqiso, ungabuyi ubekho naphakade.
