| 1. | Umthwalo wesigodi sombono. Kutheni kuwe khathesi, ukuthi lowo lalowo wakho akhwele empahleni zezindlu? |
| 2. | Wena ogcwele umsindo, muzi oxokozelayo, dolobho elilentokozo, ababuleweyo bakho kababulawanga ngenkemba, kabafelanga empini. |
| 3. | Bonke ababusi bakho babaleke kanyekanye, babotshwe ngabatshoki, bonke abatholakala kuwe, babotshiwe kanyekanye, babaleke besuka khatshana. |
| 4. | Ngenxa yalokhu ngathi: Susani amehlo kimi; kangikhale ngokubabayo; ungaphangisi ukungiduduza ngenxa yokuchitheka kwendodakazi yabantu bakithi. |
| 5. | Ngoba kulusuku lokusanganiseka, lolokunyathelela phansi, lolokuphithizela kweNkosi uJehova wamabandla esigodini sombono, lolokudilizela phansi umduli, lokuhlaba umkhosi kuze kube sentabeni. |
| 6. | IElamu yathatha-ke isikhwama semitshoko, kanye lenqola, abantu, abagadi bamabhiza; leKiri yavumbulula isihlangu. |
| 7. | Kuzakuthi-ke izigodi zakho ezikhethekileyo zigcwala izinqola, labagadi bamabhiza bazihlele lokuzihlela ngasesangweni. |

| 13. | Kodwa khangela, injabulo lokuthaba, ukubulawa kwenkomo, lokuhlatshwa kwezimvu, ukudliwa kwenyama, lokunathwa kwewayini; lathi: Asidleni sinathe, ngoba kusasa sizakufa. |
| 14. | Kodwa i Nkosi yamabandla yembula endlebeni zami isithi: Isibili lesisono kaliyikusenzelwa inhlawulo yokuthula lize life, kutsho iNkosi uJehova wamabandla. |
| 15. | Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova wamabandla: Hamba uye kulo umphathi, kuShebina, ophezu kwendlu, uthi: |
| 16. | Ulani lapha, njalo ulobani lapha, ukuthi uzigebhele ingcwaba lapha, njeng ozigebhela ingcwaba lakhe phezulu, ozigubhela indawo yokuhlala edwaleni? |
| 17. | Khangela, i Nkosi izakujikijela khatshana, ngokujikijela kwendoda; izakugoqela ngoku ku goqela, |
| 18. | i ku thandele lokukuthandela njengebhola eligiqelwa elizweni elibanzi enhlangothini zombili; uzafela khona, lalapho kuzakuba khona izinqola zakho ezilodumo, wena hlazo lendlu yenkosi yakho! |

| 20. | Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku ngibize inceku yami uEliyakhimi indodana kaHilikhiya; |
| 21. | ngizamgqokisa isigqoko sakho, ngimqinise ngebhanti lakho, nginikeze umbuso wakho esandleni sakhe; njalo yena uzakuba nguyise kubahlali beJerusalema lendlini yakoJuda. |
| 22. | Ngizabeka-ke isihluthulelo sendlu kaDavida ehlombe lakhe; yena uzavula kungavali muntu, avale kungavuli muntu. |
| 23. | Ngizambethela njenge sikhonkwane endaweni eqinileyo; njalo uzakuba yisihlalo sobukhosi esilodumo endlini kayise. |
| 24. | Bazaphanyeka phezu kwakhe udumo lonke lwendlu kayise, inzalo labantwana, zonke izitsha ezincinyane, kusukela ezitsheni zenkezo kusiya kuzo zonke izitsha zeziphiso. |
| 25. | Ngalolosuku, itsho i Nkosi yamabandla, isikhonkwane esabethelwa endaweni eqinileyo sizasuswa, siganyulwe siwe; lomthwalo obuphezu kwaso uzaqunywa; ngoba i Nkosi ikhulumile. |
