Kwathi lapho uBhilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi: 
“Koze kube nini ulokhu uphethe emlonyeni? Nakana andubana sikhulume. 
Kungani usithatha njengezinkomo kube ingathi siyizithutha kuwe na? 
Wena ozidabudabulayo ube yiziqa ngokuthukuthela kwakho, uthi sesingawudela umhlaba ngenxa yakho? Loba uthi amadwala agudlulwe ezindaweni zawo na? 
Isibane somubi siyacima; ilangabi lomlilo wakhe liyaphela ukubhebha. 
Ukukhanya ethenteni lakhe kuyafiphala; isibane esiseceleni kwakhe siyacima. 
Izisinde zakhe zamandla ziyadeda; lamacebo akhe yiwo amlahla phansi. 
Inyawo zakhe zimbeka emambuleni acine esemthandele. 
Umjibila umhwiphula ngesithende; isihitshela simuthi nki. 
Isihitshela usifihlelwe phansi; umjibila uthukuziwe endleleni yakhe. 
Uyethuka ngokwesaba inxa zonke kumlandelele langaphi aya khona. 
Umonakalo umlambele; incithakalo imlindele nxa esiwa. 
Kudla ingxenye yesikhumba sakhe; izibulo lokufa lidla izitho zakhe. 
Uyasuswa ekuvikelekeni kwethente lakhe aqhutshwe asiwe enkosini yokwesaba. 
Umlilo uhlala ethenteni lakhe; isolufa evuthayo ichithachithwe emzini wakhe. 
Impande zakhe ziyabuna ngaphansi lamagatsha akhe abune ngaphezulu. 
Ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kuyaphela emhlabeni; kalabizo elizweni. 
Uyasuswa ekukhanyeni aye ebumnyameni njalo axotshwe emhlabeni. 
Kalabantwana loba isizukulwane ebantwini bakibo, kakho loyedwa owakhe lapho ake ahlala khona. 
Abantu bentshonalanga bayanengwa yisiphetho sakhe; abantu bempumalanga bayatshaqeka. 
Ngempela linjalo ikhaya lomuntu omubi; yiyo indawo yalowo ongamaziyo uNkulunkulu.”
