17 Úbamba ngendlebe inja igqitha,Ophuphuma umsindo ngembambano angephambi kwayo.
18 Njengedwadwasi elijula izikhuniNeentolo zokufa,
19 Injalo indoda ekhohlisa ummelwane wayo,Ibe isithi, Andidlali na?
20 Zakuphela iinkuni, uyacima umlilo;Kwakuba kungekho ntlebi, iyadamba ingxabano.
21 Nqwa namalahle amnyama kumalahle avuthayo,Nqwa neenkuni kumlilo, indoda enengxabano ukuphemba imbambano.
22 Amazwi entlebi anjengemithamo imnandi;Yona ihla iye ezingontsini zombilini.
23 Ligwebu lesilivere, lalekwé empahleni yodongwe,Umlomo ovuthayo unentliziyo enobubi.
