3 Musandikokere kutali pamodzi ndi anthu oyipa, pamodzi ndi iwo amene amachita zoyipa, amene amayankhula mwachikondi ndi anzawo koma akusunga chiwembu mʼmitima mwawo.
4 Muwabwezere chifukwa cha zochita zawo ndi ntchito zawo zoyipa; abwezereni chifuwa cha zimene manja awo achita ndipo mubweretse pa iwo zimene zowayenera.
5 Popeza iwowo sakhudzidwa ndi ntchito za Yehova, ndi zimene manja ake anazichita, Iye adzawakhadzula ndipo sadzawathandizanso.
