Ngokuba bengikwesaba , lokhu ungumuntu olukhuni ; uthabatha ongakubekanga, uvuna ongakuhlwanyelanga.

Kepha weza nobamukele italenta lalinye , wathi: Nkosi, bengikwazi ukuthi ungumuntu olukhuni; uvuna lapho ungahlwanyelanga khona , ubutha lapho ungafazanga khona;

Nxa uvuna isivuno sakho ensimini , ukhohliwe isithungu ensimini yakho , ungabuyeli ukusilanda , kepha asibe ngesomfokaz i, nesentandane, nesomfelokazi ukuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akubusise emsebenzini wonke wezandla zakho.

Kwathi uJoshuwa esengaseJeriko , waphakamisa amehlo akhe , wabona, bheka, nanso i ndoda malungana naye enenkemba yayo ihoshiwe esandleni sayo; uJoshuwa waya kuyo, wathi kuyo: Uvuna thina noma izitha zethu na?
