9 “Wena ke Solomon nyana wam, mazi uThixo katata wakho, umkhonze ngentliziyo epheleleyo+ nangomphefumlo* ovuyayo,* kuba uYehova uyazihlola zonke iintliziyo,+ ibe uqonda yonke into umntu ayicingayo neminqweno yakhe.+ Ukuba uyamfuna, uza kukuvumela umfumane,+ kodwa ukuba uyamshiya, uza kukulahla ngonaphakade.+

38 “Kodwa owam umntu olilungisa uza kuphila ngenxa yokuba nokholo,”+ yaye, “ukuba uye wabuya umva, ndiza kuyeka ukumthanda.”+
