19. Lanikwa zona zodwa ilizwe, Akwangena wasemzini phakathi kwazo.

20. Yonke imihla yakhe, ongendawo uyazibhijabhija; Inani leminyaka liqwetyelwe ingqwangangqwili.

21. Kumi ilizwi lokunkwantyisa ezindlebeni zakhe, Eluxolweni uyamfikela umbhuqi.

22. Akakholwa ukuba uya kubuya emnyameni; Ke yena uqwetyelwe ikrele.

23. Uphalaphalela ukutya, esithi, Kuphi na? Uyazi ukuba ulungiselwe imini yobumnyama ecaleni kwakhe.

25. Ngokuba esolulele kuThixo isandla sakhe, Wazenza igorha kuSomandla:

26. Wamgila, eyolule intamo, Ngamaqhubu angqingqwa eengweletshetshe zakhe;

27. Ngokuba egubungele ubuso bakhe ngamanqatha akhe, Watyeba wanamanqatha emihlubulweni yakhe.

28. Wema imizi engamanxuwa, Nezindlu ezingezakuhlalwa, Ezamiselwa ukuba zibe yimiwewe.

29. Akayi kuba sisityebi, abuyi kuma ubutyebi bakhe; Inzuzo yakhe ayiyi kunaba emhlabeni.

30. Akayi kusinda ebumnyameni; Igatya lakhe liya komiswa ngedangatye; Emke ngokufutha komlomo wakhe.

31. Okhohliswayo makangathembeli kumampunge; Kuba inkohlakalo iya kuba lulwanano lwakhe.

32. Kozaliseka oko ingekabi yimini yakhe, Isebe lakhe lesundu lingabi luhlaza.

33. Wowisa njengomdiliya uwisa iidiliya zawo ezikrwada; Avuthulule njengomnquma intyantyambo yawo.

34. Kuba ibandla leentshembenxa liya kuba njengento embatshileyo, Umlilo uzitshise iintente zokucenga.

35. Bakhawula ububi, bazale ubutshinga, Umbilini wabo usebenze inkohliso.
