18. lokho izihlakaniphi ezikubonakalisile,zikuthathe koyise, zingakufihlanga,
19. zona ezaphiwa zodwa izwe,kungadabulanga kuzo umfokazi ngokuthi:
20. Umuntu omubi uyazibinya imihla yonke,umumo weminyaka othukuselwe isidlwangudlwangu.

22. Akethembi ukuthi uyakubuya ebumnyameni;uyalindelwa yinkemba.
23. Uyazulazulela ukudla: kuphi na?Uyazi ukuthi usuku lobumnyama selungasesandleni sakhe.
24. Ukuhlupheka nosizi kuyamethusa;kuyamahlula njengenkosi ezilungiselele impi,
25. ngokuba waselulela isandla sakhe kuNkulunkulu,wazigabisa kuSomandla.
26. Wamdumela ngentamo elukhuni,nangamaqhubu adumbileyo amahawu akhe,

31. Makangethembi ezeni, ezikhohlisa,ngokuba ize liyakuba ngumvuzo wakhe.
32. Kuyakufezwa kungakabi yisikhathi,negatsha lakhe alisayikuba luhlaza.
33. Uyakuvuthulula igwanya lakhe njengomvini,alahle imbali yakhe njengomnqumo.
34. Ngokuba ibandla labangenaNkulunkulu liyakubayinyumba,umlilo uqede amatende abathengwa ngemivuzo.
35. Bakhulelwe ingozi, bazala ukona;isisu sabo silungisela inkohliso.”
