Ngubani na owawazala amathontsi ombethe? ²⁹Luphuma esizalweni sikabani na umkhenkce, ngubani na owawuzalayo umbethe oqinileyo wezulu, ³⁰xa amanzi eqina njengelitye, nobuso benzonzobila buba yingqengqa? ³¹Ungakwazi na ukuzibopha iintsontelo zeSilimela, okanye ukhulule izintya zeOrion? ^b b v31 ISilimela liqela leenkwenkwezi elixineneyo; iOrion luqela lweenkwenkwezi oluvelele — zombini zezaziwa kakuhle esibhakabhakeni sasebusuku. ³²Ungakwazi na ukuwakhupha amaqela eenkwenkwezi ngexesha lawo, okanye ukhokele iBhere namathole ayo? ³³Uyayazi na imithetho yamazulu?
