29 “Pali akazi ambiri amene achita zinthu zopambana koma iwe umawaposa onsewa.”
Manengi amadodakazi enze ngenkuthalo, kodwa wena wenyukile phezu kwawo wonke.
30 Nkhope yachikoka ndi yonyenga, ndipo kukongola nʼkosakhalitsa; koma mkazi amene amaopa Yehova ayenera kutamandidwa.
Ubuhle buyinkohliso, lokubukeka kuyize; owesifazana owesaba iNkosi yena uzadunyiswa.
31 Mupatseni mphotho chifukwa cha zimene iye wachita ndipo ntchito zake zimutamande ku mabwalo.
Mnikeni okuvela esithelweni sezandla zakhe, lemisebenzi yakhe kayimdumise emasangweni.
