6:1	In their tribulation, they will arise early to me. Bwerani, let us return to the Lord.
6:2	For he has seized us, and he will heal us. He will strike, and he will cure us.
6:3	He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, and we will live in his sight. We will understand, and we will continue on, so that we may know the Lord. His landing place has been prepared like the first light of morning, and he will come to us like the early and the late rains of the land.
6:4	What am I to do with you, Efraimu? What am I to do with you, Yuda? Your mercy is like the morning mist, and like the dew passing away in the morning.
6:5	Chifukwa cha izi, I have cut them with the prophets, I have slain them with the words of my mouth; and your opinions will depart like the light.
6:6	For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than holocausts.

18:9	Tsopano za anthu ena amene amadziona ngati olungama, ponyozera ena, adanenanso fanizo ili:

18:11	Kuyimirira, Mfarisiyo anapemphera mwa iye yekha motero: 'O Mulungu, Ndikuyamikani kuti sindili ngati anthu ena onse: achifwamba, osalungama, achigololo, monganso wokhometsa msonkho uyu afuna.
18:12	Ndimasala kudya kawiri pakati pa masabata. Ndipereka chachikhumi cha zonse zimene ndili nazo.’
18:13	Ndi wokhometsa msonkho, kuyimirira patali, sanafune ngakhale kukweza maso ake kumwamba. Koma anamenya pachifuwa, kunena: 'O Mulungu, mundichitire ine chifundo, wochimwa.’
18:14	Ine ndinena kwa inu, ameneyo adatsikira kunyumba kwake wolungamitsidwa, koma osati winayo. Pakuti yense wakudzikuza adzachepetsedwa; ndipo aliyense wodzichepetsa adzakulitsidwa.”
