23 Konke lokhu ngikuhlolile ngenhlakanipho, ngathi: Ngizahlakanipha; kodwa kwakukhatshana lamip. 24 Okukhatshana, lokujule kakhuluq, ngubani ozakufumanar? 25 Ngaphenduka mina lenhliziyo yami ukwazi lokuhlola lokudinga inhlakaniphos, lesizatho sezinto, lokwazi inkohlakalo yobuwula, lobuthutha bobuhlanyat. 26 Ngasengithola okubaba kulokufau: Owesifazana onhliziyo yakhe iyimijibila lamambule, lezandla zakhe ziyizibophov. Olungileyo phambi kukaNkulunkulu uzaphepha kuye, kodwa isoni sizabanjwa nguyew. 27 Khangela, yilokhu engikutholileyo, utsho umTshumayelix, ngibeka okunye kokunye, ukuthola isizatho sezinto, 28 umphefumulo wami osasidinga kodwa kangisitholanga.
