24 Kukho ohlakazayo, aye esanda ngokwanda; Kukho nozinqandayo kokumfaneleyo, oko kube yintswelo yodwa.
25 Umphefumlo osikelelayo uyatyetyiswa; Oseza ahluthise abanye, uyasezwa ahluthe naye.
26 Omangala nengqolowa, luyamqalekisa uluntu; Intsikelelo isentlokweni yothengisa ngayo.
27 Ozondelele okulungileyo ufuna okwamkelekileyo; Ongxamele ububi, buya kumfikela.
28 Okholosa ngobutyebi bakhe uya kuwa yena; Ke amalungisa aya kuhluma njengamagqabi.
29 Ogxugxisa indlu yakhe uya kudla ilifa elingumoya; Isimathane soba ngumkhonzi kontliziyo ilumkileyo.
30 Isiqhamo selungisa ngumthi wobomi; Umbambisi wemiphefumlo sisilumko.
