Kungubufakazi abumisayo kwaJosefa mhla ephuma ezweni laseGibithe . Ngizwa ulimi ebengingalwazi luthi:

Uma umuntu esho ukuthi uyikholwa , engabophi ulimi lwakhe kungathi ngetomu kodwa ekhohlisa inhliziyo yakhe, ukukhonza kwalowo kuyize.

Ngalolo suku kuyakuba yimizi eyisihlanu ezweni laseGibithe eyakukhuluma ulimi lwaseKhanani , ifunge uJehova Sebawoti ; omunye uyakuthiwa uMuzi Welanga.

INkosi uJehova inginikile ulimi l wabafundi ukuba ngazi ukuvuselela oyethileyo ngamazwi ahlumelelayo; ivusa njalo indlebe yami ekuseni imihla ngemihla ukuba ngizwe njengabafundi.

Ngiyakunamathelisa ulimi lwakho olwangeni lwakho ukuba ube yisimungulu, ungabi ngumuntu obayalayo, ngokuba bayindlu ehlubukayo.
