4. Lixesha na kuni nina, lokuba nihlale ezindlwini zenu zalekiwe, ibe le ndlu yam yona ilinxuwa?

6. Nahlwayela kakhulu, ningenisé kancinane; niyadla, ningahluthi; nisela, ninganeli kukusela; nambatha, ningevi ntsitho; noziqeshisayo uziqeshisela ukuba agalele engxoweni enezikroba.
7. Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Iindlela zenu zigqaleni.
