9 “Wena Solomoni ndodana yami, yazi uNkulunkulu kayihlo futhi umkhonze ngenhliziyo ephelele *+ nangomphefumulo* ojabulayo,* ngoba uJehova uhlola zonke izinhliziyo, + futhi uqonda yonke imicabango nezifiso. + Uma umfuna, uyomthola, + kodwa uma umshiya, uyokulahla kuze kube phakade. +

12 Uma uthi: “Kodwa besingakwazi lokhu,”

Lowo ohlola izinhliziyo* akayiqondi yini imicabango yakho? +

19 Unezinhloso ezinkulu futhi unamandla okwenza izinto, + amehlo akho abona zonke izinto ezenziwa abantu, + ukuze ubuyisele umuntu ngokwezindlela zakhe nangokwezenzo zakhe. +

20 “Kodwa nina nithe, ‘Indlela kaJehova ayinabo ubulungisa.’ + Ngiyokwahlulela ngamunye wenu ngokuvumelana nezindlela zakhe, nina ndlu ka-Israyeli.”

6 Uyobuyisela umuntu ngamunye ngokwemisebenzi yakhe: +

10 Ngoba sonke kumele sivele* phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela sikaKristu, ukuze ngamunye athole umvuzo ngokwezinto azenzile ngesikhathi esesemzimbeni, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi zinhle noma zimbi. +

7 Ningadukiswa: UNkulunkulu akayena owokuhlekwa usulu. Ngoba noma yini umuntu ayihlwanyelayo, uyovuna yona futhi; +

17 Uma nibiza uBaba owahlulela umsebenzi womuntu ngamunye ngokungakhethi, + ziphatheni ngokwesaba + phakathi nesikhathi sokuba kwenu yizakhamuzi zesikhashana.

12 “ ‘Bheka! Ngiyeza masinyane, ngiphethe umvuzo engiwunikezayo, ukuze nginikeze ngamunye ngokomsebenzi wakhe. +
