Olondoloza umphefumulo wakho yena kakwazit yini? ngitsho ubuyisela emuntwini njengokomsebenzi wakheu? 13 Dlana uluju, ndodana yami, ngoba lulungilev, lohlanga loluju lumnandi elwangeni lwakhow. 14 Lunjalo ulwazi lwenhlakanipho emphefumulweni wakhox; uba uluthola, kuzakuba lomvuzoy, lethemba lakho kaliyikuqunywaz. 15 Wena okhohlakeleyo, ungacathameli umuzi wolungileyo; ungachithi indawo yakhe yokuphumulaa. 16 Ngoba olungileyo uzakuwab kasikhombisa, avukec futhi; kodwa abakhohlakeleyod bazakhubeka ebubinie. 17 Ungathokozi ngokuwa kwesitha sakhof, lekukhubekeni kwaso inhliziyo yakho kayingajabulig; 18 hlezi iNkosi ikubone, kube kubi emehlweni ayo, iphendule ulaka lwayo ilususe kuso. 19 Ungazikhathazi ngenxa yabenzi bobubih, ungabi lamhawu ngabakhohlakeleyoi; 20 ngoba omubi kayikuba lomvuzoj; isibane sabakhohlakeleyo sizacitshwak. 21 Ndodana yami, yesaba uJehova lenkosi; ungahlanganyeli labaguquguqukayol; 22 ngoba incithakalo yabo izavuka masinyane; njalo ngubani owazi ukuchithekam kwabo bobabilin?

23 Lala ngawabahlakaniphileyo. Ukunaka ubuso kusahlulelo kakulungangao. 24 Othi kokhohlakeleyo: Wena ulungilep; abantu bazamqalekisa, izizwe zizamthukuthelelaq. 25 Kodwa kulabo abamkhuzayo kuzakuba lentokozo, lesibusiso esihle sizabehlela. 26 Ophendula ngamazwi aqondileyor uzakwanga indebe. 27 Lungisa umsebenzi wakho ngaphandle, uzilungiselele wona ensimini, emva kwalokho wakhe indlu yakhos. 28 Ungabi ngumfakazi umelene lomakhelwane wakho kungelasizatho, kumbe ukhohlise ngendebe zakhot. 29 Ungathi: Njengokwenza kwakhe kimi ngizakwenza njalo kuye; ngizaphindisela emuntwini njengokomsebenzi wakheu.
