7 ¹Nyana wam, gcina amazwi am, ufumbe imithetho yam ngaphakathi kwakho.

²Gcina imithetho yam uphile; ulondoloze umyalelo wam njengokhozo lweliso lakho. ³Uwabophe eminweni yakho; uwabhale elucwecweni lwentliziyo yakho.

⁴Yithi kubulumko: “Ungudade wethu,” uyibize ingqondo ngokuba ngumhlobo wakho othandekayo, ⁵ukuze zikugcine kumfazi owalelweyo, kowasemzini onamazwi athambileyo.

⁶Kuba ngasefestileni yendlu yam ndalunguza phantsi ngesithuba sam, ⁷ndabona phakathi kwabalula, ndaqwalasela phakathi kwamadodana, umfana oswele ingqondo, ⁸egqitha esitratweni kufuphi nembombo yakhe, ethabatha indlela eya endlwini yakhe, ⁹ngocolothi, lakuba itshona imini, ebumnyameni bobusuku nasesithokothokweni.

¹⁰Nango umfazi esiza kumkhawulela, enxibe njengehenyukazi, enobuqhophololo entliziyweni yakhe. ¹¹Unengxolo eneenkani; iinyawo zakhe azihlali ekhaya. ¹²Ngoku esesitratweni, ngoku ezindaweni ezibanzi, elalela kuyo yonke imbombo. ¹³Uyambamba aze amange, athi kuye ngobuso obungenazintloni:

¹⁴“Bendinamadini oxolo ekwakumele ndiwanikele; namhlanje ndizihlawulile izibhambathiso zam. ^a a v14 Idini loxolo belisabelwana njengesidlo — uthetha ukuba unokutya okulungileyo nesizathu sokubhiyoza ekhaya. ¹⁵Ngako oko ndiphumile ndeza kukukhawulela, ndikufuna ngenkuthalo, ndaza ndakufumana. ¹⁶Ndisendlele isilili sam ngezigubungelo, ngelinen enemibala evela eYiputa. ¹⁷Ndisiqholile isilili sam ngemore, nangekhala, nangesinamon. ¹⁸Yiza, masisele kakhulu kuthando kude kuse; masizonwabise ngothando. ¹⁹Kuba indoda yam ayikho ekhaya; ihambe uhambo olude. ²⁰Ithabathe ingxowa yemali yahamba nayo, ayisayi kubuya ekhaya kude kugcwale inyanga.”

²¹Ngawo onke amazwi akhe acengayo uyamguqula; ngemilebe yakhe egudileyo uyamtsalela kuye. ²²Ngephanyazo uyamlandela, njengenkomo esiya ekuxhelweni, njengexhama elinyathela emgibeni, ²³side utolo luhlabe isibindi salo; njengentaka ebhabhela esibatheni, engazi ukuba kudla ubomi bakhe.

²⁴Ngoko ke, nyana bam, ndiphulaphuleni, nibeke iindlebe kumazwi omlomo wam. ²⁵Intliziyo yakho mayingatyekeli ezindleleni zakhe; ungalahleki emendweni yakhe. ²⁶Kuba uwise phantsi amaxhoba amaninzi; ababuleweyo bakhe bayinkitha enkulu. ²⁷Indlu yakhe iyindlela eya kwelabafileyo, esihla isiya emagumbini okufa.
