17. Yena wacinga esithi: ‘Ndiya kuthini na, kuba andinandawo ndinokusigcina kuyo isivuno sam?’
18. Waza wathi: ‘Nantsi into endiya kuyenza: ndiya kubadiliza oovimba bam, ndakhe abakhulu kunabo, ndiyihlanganisele kubo yonke ingqolowa yam nendyebo yam;
19. ndize ke ndithi kuwo umphefumlo wam: Mphefumlo wam, unempahla eninzi yeminyaka emininzi; phumla, yitya, sela, chwayita!’
20. Ke uThixo wathi kuye: ‘Siyathandini, ngobu busuku uya kwahlukana nobomi bakho. Ziya kuba zezikabani ke ezo zinto uzilungisileyo?’
21. Únjalo ke lowo uziqwebela ubutyebi, kodwa engenabutyebi kuThixo.”
