1Ngubani na onjengesilumko? kwaye ngubani oyaziyo inkcazo yetyala? Ubulumko bomntu bukhanyisa ebusweni bakhe, nokonakala kobuso bakhe kuya kuguqulwa.

2Ndikucebisa ukuba uwugcine umyalelo kakumkani, yaye oku kuphathelele isifungo sikaThixo.

3Musa ukukungxamela ukumka ebusweni bakhe; ngokuba wenza into ayithandayo.

4Apho ilizwi lokumkani linegunya; ngubani na onokuthi kuye, Wenza ntoni na?

5Ogcina umthetho akayi kuva ububi; intliziyo yezilumko iyalazi ixesha nesigwebo.

6Ngokuba yonke into inexesha layo nesigwebo;

7Kuba engayazi into eya kubakho; ngokuba ngubani na onokumxelela ukuba kuya kuba nini na?

8Akukho bani unagunya phezu komphefumlo ukusindisa umphefumlo; akanamandla ngemini yokufa, akukho luphumlo kwelo dabi; nobugwenxa abuyi kubasindisa abo bunikiweyo.

9Konke oku ndakubonayo, ndaza ndayinikela intliziyo yam kuwo wonke umsebenzi owenziweyo phantsi kwelanga: kukho ixesha laxa umntu elawula omnye ukuze amenzakalisa.

10Bangcwatywa ke abangendawo, nabaphumayo, nababephumileyo engcweleni, balityalwa kuloo mzi bebewenzela; kwaye ngamampunge.

11Ngenxa enokuba ukugwetywa kwesenzo esibi akukukhawulezisi ukwenza oko, ngenxa yoko intliziyo yoonyana babantu izele kukwenza ububi.

12Kwanokuba umoni enze okubi izihlandlo ezilikhulu, yolule imihla yakhe, noko ndiyazi ukuba kuya kuba kuhle kwabamoyikayo uThixo, nabamoyikayo kakuhle;

13Ke yena ongendawo akayi kuhamba kakuhle, akayi kuyolula imihla yakhe njengesithunzi; ngokuba akamoyiki uThixo.

14Kukho amampunge enzekayo ehlabathini; ukuba kukho abantu abalungileyo abachatshazelwa ngumsebenzi wabantu ababi; kananjalo, kukho abantu abangendawo ababonakala ngokokwenza kwamalungisa; Nam ndathi ngamampunge.

15Ndaluncoma ke mna uvuyo, ngokuba akukho nto imlungeleyo umntu phantsi kwelanga, ngaphandle kokuba adle, asele, avuye; ngokuba buya kuba ngumsebenzi wakhe, ngemihla yobomi bakhe amnikayo uThixo phantsi kwelanga.

16Xa ndandinikela intliziyo yam ekwazini ubulumko nokubona umsebenzi owenziwa ehlabathini; (kuba kukho imini nobusuku, abuboni ubuthongo emehlweni akhe).

17Ndawubona ke wonke umsebenzi woThixo oyinyaniso, ukuba akukho namnye unako ukuwuqonda umsebenzi owenziwayo phantsi kwelanga; ngaphezulu koko; Nokuba isilumko safuna ukwazi, akasifumani.
