13 Uze ungqineke ungenasiphoso kuYehova uThixo wakho.+

4 Kwathi ngexesha lokuba mdala+ kukaSolomon abafazi bakhe bayenza intliziyo yakhe yatyekela+ ekulandeleni abanye oothixo;+ kwaye intliziyo yakhe ayizange iphelele+ kuYehova uThixo wakhe njengentliziyo kaDavide uyise.

3 “Owu Yehova, ndiyakubongoza, khawuncede ukhumbule+ ukuba ndiye ndahamba+ ngenyaniso+ phambi kwakho nangentliziyo epheleleyo,+ yaye okulungileyo emehlweni akho ndikwenzile.”+ Yaye uHezekiya walila kakhulu.+

9 “Ke wena, Solomon nyana wam, uze umazi+ uTHIXO kayihlo, umkhonze+ ngentliziyo epheleleyo+ nangomphefumlo onoyolo;+ kuba uYehova uyazigocagoca zonke iintliziyo,+ akuqonde konke ukutyekela kweengcamango.+ Ukuba uthe wamfuna, uya kumfumana;+ kodwa ukuba uthe wamshiya,+ uya kukulahla ngonaphakade.+

37 Wathi kuye: “‘Uze umthande uYehova uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho iphela nangomphefumlo wakho uphela nangengqondo yakho iphela.’+
