5 Ngenxa yoko uYehova wabona ukuba ububi bomntu bandile emhlabeni yaye zonke iingcamango+ zentliziyo yakhe zityekele ebubini ngalo lonke ixesha.+

21 UYehova weva ivumba elithozamisayo,+ waza wathi ke uYehova entliziyweni yakhe:+ “Andisayi kuze ndiwuqalekise kwakhona umhlaba+ ngenxa yomntu, kuba intliziyo yomntu ityekele+ ebubini kwasebutsheni bakhe;+ yaye andisayi kuze ndizibethe ngesibetho kwakhona zonke izinto eziphilayo kanye njengoko ndenzile.+

26 Okholosa ngentliziyo yakhe usisiyatha,+ kodwa ohamba ngobulumko uya kusinda.+

20 Udla uthuthu.+ Intliziyo yakhe ekhohlisiweyo imlahlekisile.+ Yaye akawuhlanguli umphefumlo wakhe, engatsho nokuthi: “Akukho buxoki na esandleni sam sokunene?”+

13 Kubekho ukunxaxha nokumkhanyela uYehova;+ kwaye kubekho ukuhlehla kuThixo wethu, ukuthetha ngengcinezelo nemvukelo,+ ukukhawula nokudumzela amazwi obuxoki asuka entliziyweni.+

14 Kodwa ngamnye ulingwa ngokutsalwa nokuwexulwa ngumnqweno wakhe.+

26 Ukuba umntu uzibona engumnquli ofanelekileyo+ ukanti engalubambi ngomkhala ulwimi lwakhe,+ kodwa eqhubeka ekhohlisa intliziyo yakhe,+ unqulo lwakhe luphuthile.+
