UYehova wathetha noYobhi esemoyeni, wathi,
"Ngaba wakha wayalela kusasa ebomini bakho
wasibonisa isifingo indawo yako
ngokuba abambe iziphelo zehlabathi;
Bade bashukunyiswe abangendawo ebusweni bayo?

Siyabulela kuba uNyana wakho uza kuphinda eze ngobungangamsha
gweba abo bangavumiyo ukuguquka baze bavume;
kubo bonke abakuvumayo,
Wakunqula, Wakukhonza enguqukweni, Uya kukwenza
uthi: Yizani, nina nisikelelweyo nguBawo, nilidle ilifa
bobukumkani obalungiselelwa nina kwasekuqalekeni
zehlabathi.

Kodwa ngelixa sisazi ukuba uSathana uza kusilela, uKrestu akazukuphumelela. Ingcwele enkulu yaseMarian, uLouis de Montfort, izakhele kakuhle:
