8 Niyesabile inkemba; ngiyakunehlisela inkemba, isho iNkosi uJehova.
9 Ngiyakunikhipha phakathi kwawo, ngininikele esandleni sabafokazi, ngahlulele phakathi kwenu.
10 Niyakuwa ngenkemba, nginahlulele emkhawulweni wakwa-Israyeli; nazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

12 nazi ukuthi nginguJehova, ngokuba anihambanga ngezimiso zami, nezahlulelo zami anizenzanga, kepha nenze njengezahlulelo zezizwe ezinihaqayo.”
