1“Uyakwazi na ukuthi amagogo azala nini?
2Uyawuzibale yini izinyanga zize zizale?
3Ziyalala phansi zizale abantwana bazo;
4Amazinyane azo ayaqina akhule abe lamandla egangeni;
5Ngubani owakhulula ubabhemi weganga na?
6Ngamupha ugwadule lwaba likhaya lakhe,
7Uyazincifela iziphithiphithi zedolobho;
8Uyazihambela abhode izintaba emadlelweni akhe
9Inyathi kambe izavuma ukukusebenzela na?
10Ungayibamba ngomchilo ulime ngayo na?
11Ungayithemba yini ngenxa yamandla ayo amakhulu na?
12Ungayithemba ukuthi izalayitsha amabele akho na
13Impiko zentshe zitshaya kakuhle,
14Ibekela amaqanda ayo emhlabathini
15inganakananga ukuthi unyawo oluthile lungawahlifiza,
16Amatsiyane ayo iyawakhahlameza, kube sengathi akusi wayo;
17ngoba uNkulunkulu kayiphanga ukuhlakanipha
18Kodwa nxa isiselula impiko zayo ukuthi igijime,
19Uyalipha na wena ibhiza amandla
20Uyalenza leqe njengentethe na,
21Liyaphanda ngenkani, lithokoziswa ngamandla alo,
22Liyakuhleka ukwesaba, kalesabi lutho;
23Umxhaka wemitshoko ukhehlezela emhlubulweni walo,
24Liyafuthelana ngamadlabuzane ligijime limbe phansi;
25Konela ukuthi likhale icilongo lihwabhe lithi, ‘Aha!’
26Ukhozi luphatshiswa yikuhlakanipha kwakho na
27Ukhozi luntweza ngokutshelwa nguwe yini
28Luhlala eliweni, lulale khona ebusuku;
29Ludinga ukudla kwayo lusuka khona;
30Amatsiyane alo azitika ngegazi,
