¹Igama lokukhuphuka. ElikaSolomoni. Uma uJehova engayakhi indlu, basebenzela ize abayakhayo; uma uJehova engalondolozi umuzi, umlindi wawo ulindela ize.

²Kuyize kini ukuba nivuke ekuseni, nephuze ukuphumula, nidle isinkwa sezinhlupheko, ngokuba uyamupha othandiweyo wakhe esalele.

³Bheka, abantwana bayifa elivela kuJehova, isithelo sesisu singumvuzo.

⁴Njengemicibisholo esandleni seqhawe banjalo abantwana bobusha.

⁵Ibusisiwe indoda emgodla wayo ugcwele bona; abayikujabha lapho bekhuluma nezitha zabo esangweni.
