11 Indoda yakhe iyamthemba ngokupheleleyo

16 Uyayihlolisisa insimu mandulo kokuyithenga;
ngalokho akuzuzayo uyahlanyela isivini sakhe.
17 Uwubamba ngokukhuthala umsebenzi wakhe;
aqinise izingalo zakhe emsebenzini.
18 Uyananzelela ukuthi ukuthengisa kwakhe kulenzuzo,
lokuthi isibane sakhe kasicimi ebusuku.
19 Uphatha uluthi lokuphotha ngesandla sakhe

25 Wembethe amandla lesithunzi;
uyahleka loba kusiza insuku ezimbi.
26 Ukhuluma ngenhlakanipho,

27 Unqinekela ezomuzi wakhe
njalo kadli isinkwa sobuvila.
28 Abantwabakhe bayambonga bathi ubusisiwe;
lendoda yakhe layo iyamdumisa ithi,
29 “Banengi abafazi abenza izimangaliso zobuhle,
kodwa wena uyabedlula bonke.”
30 Ukubukeka kuyakhohlisa, lobuhle buyaphela;
kodwa umfazi owesaba uThixo kadunyiswe.
31 Kaphiwe umvuzo wobuhle abenzayo,
imisebenzi yakhe imlethele udumo enkundleni.
