9Unceda ntoni na lowo usebenza nzima?

10Ndawubona umzamo, awunike oonyana babantu uThixo, ukuba bafundise.

11Zonke izinto uzenze zantle ngexesha lazo; walibeka elimiweyo ezintliziyweni zabo, ukuze ungawazi namnye umsebenzi awawenzayo uThixo, athabathele ekuqaleni ade ase ekupheleni.

12Ndiyazi ke ukuba akukho nto ilungileyo phakathi kwabo, ingekuko ukuba umntu onoyolo, enze okulungileyo ebomini bakhe.

13Kanjalo, ukuba wonk’ ubani adle, asele, aze abone okulungileyo kuyo yonke imisebenzi yakhe, sisipho esivela kuThixo.

14Ndiyazi ke ukuba yonke into aya kuyenza uThixo, yiyo eya kuba ngonaphakade; akukho nto inokuziswa kuyo kwaye akukho nto inokukhutshwa kuyo; yaye uThixo uyakwenza oko ukuze abantu bamoyike.

15Bekuyintoni na ngoku? nabo baya kubakho, bebesele bekho; kwaye uThixo uxela kwangaphambili.

16Ndabuya ndabona phantsi kwelanga indawo yokugweba, ngokuba okungendawo kukhona; nendawo yobulungisa, ukuba okungendawo kukhona.

17Ndathi mna entliziyweni yam, Nolilungisa nongendawo, uThixo uya kulithetha ityala labo; ngokuba umise ixesha layo yonke imicimbi, nazo zonke izenzo.

18Ndathi mna entliziyweni yam ngemeko yoonyana babantu, ukuba uThixo unokusityhilela kubo nokuba babone ukuba bazizilwanyana zasekhaya.

19Ngokuba bayahlelwa oonyana babantu, ziyahlelwa neenkomo, sinye isihlo kubo nakuzo; njengoko kunjalo ukufa kwabo, kunjalo ukufa kwabo; ewe, mnye umoya kubo bonke; ngokokuba akukho namnye ngaphezu kwenkomo, ngokuba yonke into ingamampunge.

20Bonke baya ndaweni-nye; zonke zavela eluthulini, zabuyela eluthulini zonke.

21Ngubani na owaziyo umoya woonyana babantu, ukuba uyenyuka na?

22Ndaqonda ke ngoko, ukuba akukho nto ilunge ngaphezu kokuba umntu axhamle imisebenzi yakhe; ngokuba kusisabelo sakhe oko; ngokuba ngubani na oya kumzisa ukuba akubone okuya kubakho emva kwakhe?
