3 Intokozo yakhe iyakuba sekumesabeni uJehova;akayikwahlulela ngokubona kwamehlo akhe,anganqumi ngokuzwa kwezindlebe zakhe.
4 Kepha uyakwahlulela abampofu ngokulunga,anqume ngokufaneleyo abathobileyo bomhlaba,awushaye umhlaba ngentonga yomlomo wakhe,abulale ababi ngokuphefumula kwezindebe zakhe.
5 Ukulunga kuyakuba yibhande* lezinkalo zakhe,ukuthembeka kube yibhande lamanyonga akhe.
6 Impisi iyakuhlala newundlu,ingwe ibuthise ndawonye nezinyane lembuzi,ithole nebhongo lengonyama kukhuluphaliswe kanyekanye,nomntwana omncane uyakukuqhuba.
7 Inkomo nebhere* kuyakuklaba,amazinyane akho abuthise ndawonye,ingonyama idle utshani njengenkabi.
8 Umntwana oncelayo uyakudlala ngasemgodini webululu,olunyuliweyo elulele isandla sakheesiseleni sikamantshingeyana.

13 Umhawu ka-Efrayimi uyakusuka,nabacindezela uJuda bayakunqunywa;u-Efrayimi akayikuba namhawu ngoJuda,noJuda kayikucindezela u-Efrayimi.
14 Kepha bayakundizela ehlombe lamaFilisti ngasentshonalanga,baphange kanyekanye abantu basempumalanga,belulele izandla zabo ngaku-Edomi noMowabi,abakwa-Amoni babalalele.
