12 Amazwi omlomo wesilumko anokubabala; ke yona imilebe yomlomo wesidenge iginya kwasona.
13 Ingqalo yamazwi omlomo waso bubudenge, nengqibo yomlomo waso bubugeza obubi.
14 Isidenge sandisa amazwi, engakwazi umntu okuya kubakho; nokuya kubakho emva kwakhe, ngubani na onokumxelela?
15 Imigudu yezidenge iyazixhamla, ezingakwaziyo ukuya emzini.
16 Yeha, wena lizwe likumkani ungumntwana, limatshawe adla kwakusasa!
17 Hayi, uyolo lwakho, lizwe likumkani ungunyana wabanumzana, limatshawe adlayo ngexesha elililo, enobugorha, engenamithayi!
18 Ngobuvila iyabhena imigadi; ngokuthamba kwezandla iyanetha indlu.
