2 Mna ndithi, Umthetho wokumkani wugcine, ngenxa yesifungo sikaThixo.
3 Musa ukukungxamelo ukumka ebusweni bakhe; ungangeni kwiyelenqe; ngokuba into yonke ayinanzileyo uyayenza.
4 Ekubeni ilizwi lokumkani linegunya, ngubani na onokuthi kuye, Wenza ntoni na?
5 Ogcina umthetho akazi nto imbi; intliziyo yesilumko iyalazi ixesha nesigwebo;
6 ngokuba yonke imicimbi inexesha nesigwebo; ngokuba ububi bomntu buba buninzi phezu kwakhe;
7 ngokuba engayazi into eya kubakho. Ngokuba ngubani na onokumxelela njengoko kuya kuba njalo?
8 Akukho mntu unokuwugunyazela umoya, awuthintele umoya; akukho unokuyigunyazela imini yokufa; akukho kukhululeka kuloo mfazwe; okungendawo akunakubasiza abaniniko.
