31 Kwanikelwa ingxelo kuDavide, kwathiwa: “NoAhitofele uphakathi kwabo benza iyelenqe+ noAbhisalom.”+ Wathi ke uDavide:+ “Liguqulele ekubeni bubudenge,+ ndiyacela, Yehova,+ icebo lika-Ahitofele!”

34 Kodwa ukuba ubuyela esixekweni uze okunene uthi kuAbhisalom, ‘Ndingumkhonzi wakho, Kumkani. Ndandifudula ndingumkhonzi kayihlo, mna kanye ngelo xesha, kodwa ngoku mna kanye ndingumkhonzi wakho,’+ uze ke unditshitshisele+ icebo lika-Ahitofele.

21 Maninzi amacebo entliziyweni yomntu,+ kodwa isigqibo sikaYehova siso esiya kuma.+

30 Akukho bulumko, akukho kuqonda, akukho cebo ngokuchasene noYehova.+

10 Cebani icebo, lotshitsha!+ Thethani naliphi na ilizwi, aliyi kuma, ngokuba uThixo unathi!+

19 Ubulumko beli hlabathi bubudenge kuThixo;+ kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa: “Ubambisa izilumko kubuqhokolo bazo.”+
