20Kodi nʼkofunika kumudziwitsa Mulungu kuti ndili naye mawu?
Kodi kutero sikuchita ngati kupempha kuti ndiwonongeke?
21Tsopano munthu sangathe kuyangʼana dzuwa,

22Kuwala kwake kumaonekera cha kumpoto;

23Wamphamvuzonse sitingathe kumufikira pafupi ndi wa mphamvu zoposa;
pa chiweruzo chake cholungama ndi mʼchilungamo chake chachikulu Iye sapondereza anthu ozunzika.
24Nʼchifukwa chake anthu amamuopa kwambiri,
kodi saganizira za onse amene amaganiza kuti ndi anzeru?”
