8Lithembekile leli zwi. Ngithanda ukuba uqinise impela ngalezo zinto, ukuze abakholwa nguNkulunkulu bakhuthalele ukwenza imisebenzi emihle. Lezo zinto zinhle, zinosizo kubantu; 9 kepha gwema imibuzo yobuwula, nezindaba zolibo lokuzalana, nokubanga nokuphikisana ngomthetho; ngokuba lokho akusizi, kuyize. 10Umuntu onezifundiso ezidukisayo, eselulekwe kanye nakabili male, 11 wazi ukuthi onjalo uphambukile, uyona, ezahlulela yena.
