Abangendawo bayasaba kungekho ubasukelayo, kodwa amalungisa anesibindi njengengonyama. Xa ilizwe liphikisa, linabaphathi abaninzi, kodwa ngomntu onengqondo nokwazi, lihlala limi ngokuzinzileyo. Ihlwempu elicinezela abangenamandla linjengemvula ekhukulayo engashiyi kudla. Abawulahlayo umthetho bancoma abangendawo, kodwa abawugcinayo umthetho balwa nabo. Abantu abakhohlakeleyo abaqondi ubulungisa, kodwa abamfunayo uBawo wethu baqonda konke. Ilungile ihlwempu elihamba ngokugqibeleleyo kunesityebi esijibilizayo ngeendlela zaso. Lowo owugcinayo umthetho ungunyana onengqondo, kodwa isihlobo samanyoluka sihlazisa uyise. Lowo owandisa ubutyebi bakhe ngenzala nangenzuzo embi ubuhlanganisela lowo onesisa kumahlwempu. Ukuba umntu uyala ukuphulaphula umthetho, nomthandazo wakhe ulisikizi. Lowo olahlekisa abathe tye endleleni embi uya kuwela emhadini wakhe, kodwa abagqibeleleyo baya kudla ilifa lezinto ezilungileyo. Isityebi sizibona silumkile emehlweni aso, kodwa ihlwempu elinengqondo liyamqonda kakuhle. Xa amalungisa ephumelela, kubakho uzuko olukhulu, kodwa xa bevela abangendawo, abantu bazimela. Lowo ozifihlayo izono zakhe akayi kuphumelela, kodwa lowo ozivumayo aze azilahle uya kufumana inceba. Unoyolo lowo ohlala esoyika ngamaxesha onke, kodwa lowo oyenzayo lukhuni intliziyo yakhe uya kuwela eshweni. Njengengonyama egqumayo nebhere ehlaselayo unjalo umphathi ongendawo kubantu abangenamandla. Umphathi oswele ingqondo ngumcinezeli okhohlakeleyo, kodwa lowo oyithiyileyo inzuzo embi uya kuba nemihla emide. Indoda esindwa lityala legazi iya kuba ngumbaleki kude kube sekufeni; makungabikho umntu omxhasayo. Lowo ohamba ngokugqibeleleyo uya kusinda, kodwa lowo ojibilizayo ngeendlela zakhe uya kusuka awe ngebhaqo. Lowo owusebenzayo umhlaba wakhe uya kuba nesonka esininzi, kodwa lowo osukelayo izinto ezililize uya kuba nobuhlwempu obuninzi. Indoda ethembekileyo iya kuba nentsikelelo eninzi, kodwa lowo ongxamela ukuba sisityebi akayi kuba msulwa. Ukukhetha ubuso akulunganga, kanti ngenxa yeqhekeza lesonka umntu uya kona. Umntu onomona ungxamele ubutyebi engazi ukuba ubuhlwempu buya kumfikela. Lowo okhalimela umntu ekugqibeleni uya kufumana ubabalo olungaphezulu kunalowo oyenga ngolwimi lwakhe. Lowo ophanga uyise nonina aze athi: “Akusosono,” usisihlobo salowo utshabalalisayo. Umntu obawayo uvusa imbambano, kodwa lowo okholosa ngoBawo wethu uya kutyetyiswa. Lowo okholosa ngentliziyo yakhe sisidenge, kodwa lowo ohamba ngobulumko uya kusinda. Opha amahlwempu akayi kuswela nto, kodwa lowo uvala amehlo akhe kubo uya kwamkela izishwabulo ezininzi. Xa bephakama abangendawo, abantu bazimela, kodwa xa bebhubha, amalungisa ayachuma.
