24 Laba babona imisebenzi kaJehovanezimangaliso zakhe ekujuleni.
25 Ngokuba wakhuluma, wavusa umoya wesiphephoowaphakamisa amadlambi olwandle.

32 Mabamphakamise ebandleni labantu,bamdumise emhlanganweni wamalunga.
33 Imifula wayiphendula ihlane,nemithombo yamanzi isigagadu,
34 nomhlabathi ovundileyo waba lugwadule lukasawotingenxa yobubi babahlezi khona.
35 Ihlane waliphendula amachibi amanzi,nomhlabathi owomileyo imithombo yamanzi.
36 Wabahlalisa khona abalambileyo,bakha khona umuzi wokuhlala.
37 Balima amasimu, batshala isivini,kwabathelela izithelo.
38 Wababusisa, banda kakhulu,akanciphisa izinkomo zabo.
39 Babuye bancipha,bathotshiswa ngokucindezelwa, nangobubi, nangosizi.
40 Wathela ukudelelwa phezu kwezikhulu,wabazulazulisa ehlane elingenandlela.
41 Nokho waphakamisa ompofu, wamkhipha osizini,enza imindeni njengomhlambi.
42 Olungileyo uyakukubona, ajabule;ububi bonke bumelwe ukuvala umlomo.
