18Manje iziqhingi ziyakuzamazama
ngosuku lokuwa kwakho;
iziqhingi ezisolwandle ziyakuphela amandla
ngokumuka kwakho.
19Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Lapho ngiyakukwenza umuzi ochithekileyo njengemizi engahlalwayo, nalapho ngiyakukhuphulela utwa phezu kwakho, amanzi amaningi akusibekele,
20ngiyakukwehlisa nabehlela egodini, kubantu basendulo, ngikuhlalise ekujuleni komhlaba kanye nabehlela egodini njengasezindaweni ezichithekileyo kwasendulo, ukuze ungahlalwa, ngisabeka udumo ezweni labaphilayo.
