17 umkhuphi wenqwelo nehashe, wempi nentshatshela; baya kulala bangavuki, bethile, becimile njengomsonto wesibane:
18 utsho ukuthi, Musani ukukhumbula izinto zangaphambili, ningazikhathaleli nezamandulo.
19 Yabonani, ndiya kwenza into entsha, intshule ngoku; aniyi kuyazi na? Inene, ndiya kwenza indlela entlango, nemilambo enkangala.
20 Izilo zasendle ziya kundizukisa, iimpungutye neenciniba; ngokuba ndenza amanzi entlango, nemilambo enkangala, ukuze ndiseze abantu bam, abanyulwa bam.
21 Abantu endizibumbeleyo baya kubalisa indumiso yam.
22 Akundinqulanga ke mna, Yakobi, ngokude uzixhamle ngam, Sirayeli.
23 Akundiziselanga mpahla imfutshane yamadini akho anyukayo; akundizukisanga ngamibingelelo yakho. Andikukhonzisanga ngaminikelo yakudla, andikudinisanga ngantlaka imhlophe.
