6 Ukuthola ingcebo ngolimi lwamanga

kunokuhlala nowesifazane oxabanayo endlini ehlanganyelweyo.
10Umphefumulo womubi ufisa okubi;

11 Lapho isideleli sihlawuliswa,

17 Othanda injabulo uyakuba mpofu,
nothanda iwayini namafutha kayikuceba.
18 Omubi uyihlawulo lolungileyo,
nombuluzayo usesikhundleni sabaqotho.
19 Kungcono ukuhlala ezweni lasehlane
kunokuhlala nowesifazane oxabanayo nothethayo.
20Kukhona ingcebo enxanelekayo

kepha umuntu oyisiwula uyakugwinya.
21Olandela ukulunga nomusa
uyafumana ukuphila, nokulunga, nodumo.
22 Ohlakaniphileyo angenyukela emzini wamaqhawe,
awise phansi inqaba ayethembayo wona.
23 Ogcina umlomo wakhe nolimi lwakhe

yena osebenza ngokuziphakamisa okukhulu.
25 Isifiso sevila siyalibulala,
ngokuba izandla zalo ziyenqaba ukusebenza.
26Kuyafiswa nokufiswa usuku lonke,
kepha olungileyo uyaphana engancishi.
27 Umhlatshelo wababi uyisinengiso;
kakhulu kangakanani uma ulethwa ngomgomo omubi.
28 Ufakazi wamanga uyabhujiswa,
kepha umuntu ozwileyo angakhuluma njalo.
29Umuntu omubi uyenza lukhuni ubuso bakhe,
kepha oqotho uyanaka indlela yakhe.
30 Akukho ukuhlakanipha,
akukho ukuqonda,
nesiluleko, okungamelana noJehova.
31 Ihhashi lilungiselwa usuku lokulwa,
kepha ukusindiswa kungokukaJehova.
