ngesikhathi esibi,

₉Okhipha amatshe uyakulinyazwa yiwo,

nobanda izinkuni uyakuba sengozini ngazo.

₁₀Uma insimbi ibuthuntu,

umuntu engaloli usiko,

uyakhamelela ngamandla;

kepha okusizayo ukuphumelelisa kungukuhlakanipha.

umlumbi akasizi lutho.

₁₂Amazwi omlomo wohlakaniphileyo anomusa,

kepha izindebe zesiwula ziyasigwinya sona.

₁₃Ukuqala kwamazwi omlomo waso angubuwula,

nokugcina kokukhuluma kwaso kungubuhlanya obubi.

₁₄Isiwula siyandisa amazwi,

nokho umuntu akazi okuyakuba khona;

nalokho okuyakuba ngasemva kwakhe,

ngubani ongamtshela lokho na?

₁₅Umshikashika weziwula uyaziqoba,

ukuze zingazi nokuya emzini.
