UBilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi: “Koze kube nini ulokhu uzingela amazwi na? Yiba nengqondo, khona-ke singakhuluma. Kungani siphathwa njengezinkomo, sibalwe njengeziwula emehlweni akho na? Wena ozidabula ube yizicucu ngolaka lwakho—kumele yini umhlaba ushiywe ngenxa yakho, noma idwala lisuswe endaweni yalo na? Yebo, ukukhanya komubi kuyacimeka, nelangabi lomlilo wakhe liyafiphala. Ukukhanya kuyafiphala etendeni lakhe, nesibani esiphezu kwakhe siyacima. Izinyathelo zakhe ezinamandla ziyanqunywa, namacebo akhe uqobo ayamwisa. Izinyawo zakhe uqobo ziyamphonsela enetheni, angene nqo emambuleni alo. Ugibe lumbamba ngesithende; isihibe simbambe siqinise. Isihibe sifihlelwe yena emhlabathini, nogibe lumlindele endleleni yakhe. Izesabiso ziyamethusa nxazonke, zimxoshe ezithendeni zakhe. Amandla akhe ayalanjiswa, nenhlekelele imi ilungele ukuwa kwakhe. Kudla izingxenye zesikhumba sakhe; izibulo lokufa lidla izitho zakhe. ^a Uyahluthunwa ekuphepheni kwetende lakhe, aqhutshwe ayiswe enkosini yezesabiso. Umlilo uhlala etendeni lakhe, elingaseyilo elakhe; isibabuli esivuthayo sihlakazwa phezu kwekhaya lakhe. Izimpande zakhe ziyoma ngezansi, namagatsha akhe abune ngenhla. Ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kuyabhubha emhlabeni, akabi nagama ezitaladini. Uxoshwa ekukhanyeni aphonswe ebumnyameni, axoshwe emhlabeni. Akashiyi nzalo noma mzukulu phakathi kwabantu bakhe, akusali muntu lapho ayehlala khona. Abasentshonalanga bayethuka yisiphetho sakhe, nabasempumalanga babanjwa uvalo. Impela yilokhu okwehlela izindlu zababi, indawo yalowo ongamazi uNkulunkulu.”
