32Anthu oyipa adzakanthidwa chifukwa cha ntchito zawo zomwe,
koma olungama adzatetezedwa mwa imfa yawo.
33Nzeru zimakhala mu mtima mwa anthu omvetsa zinthu,
koma nzeru sipezeka mu mtima mwa zitsiru.
34Chilungamo chimakweza mtundu wa anthu,
koma uchimo umachititsa manyazi mtundu uliwonse.
35Mfumu imasangalatsidwa ndi wantchito wanzeru,
koma imachitira ukali wantchito wochititsa manyazi.
