Nokuti isu titempeli lyaMwali umpenyu, sezwakaleba iye Mwali eti,“Ndoogala mwabali akalendookwenda mukati mwabo,ndooba Mwali wabo,ibo banooba banhu bangu.17Nokudalo Tezi unoti, “bhudani mwabali, mupambukane nabo, akale musibhate zweshambwa, ndipo pandichamutambula,18akale ndoobaTate benu, imwi mooba bana bangu banhulumyana nabanhukajana.”
