24 Papa a sila ki dwat la va rejwi anpil, e sila ki fè yon fis ki saj la va gen kè kontan nan li.
(to rejoice to rejoice *Q(k)*) father righteous (and to beget *Q(K)*) wise (to rejoice *Q(K)*) in/on/with to rejoice
25 Kite papa ou ak manman ou fè kè kontan; kite fanm ki te fè ou a, rejwi.

33 Zye ou va wè bagay ki dwòl, e panse ou va twouble anpil.
eye your to see: see be a stranger and heart your to speak: speak perversity
34 Ou va tankou yon moun ki kouche nan mitan lanmè, oswa tankou yon moun ki kouche sou ma batiman.
