18 Ngazonda yonke into engangiyisebenzele kanzima kangaka phansi kwelanga, + ngoba kumele ngiyishiyele umuntu oza ngemva kwami. + 19 Futhi ubani owaziyo ukuthi uyoba ngohlakaniphile yini noma oyisiwula? + Nokho uyothatha zonke izinto engachitha amandla ami kanye nokuhlakanipha ukuze ngiziqongelele phansi kwelanga. Nalokhu futhi kuyize.

8 Kukhona umuntu ongenabani, ongenamngani; akanandodana noma umfowabo, kodwa wonke umsebenzi wakhe onzima awupheli. Amehlo akhe awaneliseki ngengcebo. + Kodwa uyazibuza yini ukuthi, ‘Ubani engimsebenzela kanzima, engizincisha izinto ezinhle ngenxa yakhe’? + Nalokhu futhi kuyize nomsebenzi obanga usizi. +

19 ngithi kimi:* “Nginezinto* eziningi ezinhle eziqongelelwe iminyaka eminingi; khululeka, udle, uphuze, uzijabulise.” ’ 20 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kuye, ‘Muntu ongenangqondo, ngalobu busuku bayakufuna ukuphila* kwakho. Ubani-ke ozothola izinto oziqongelele?’ +
