Lezi ngezinye njalo izaga zikaSolomoni, ezabhalwa yizinceku zikaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda: 
Kuyinkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ukufihla indaba; ukuchwayisisa indaba ludumo lwababusi. 
Njengalokhu izulu liphakeme lomhlaba ujulile, kanjalo imicabango yamakhosi kayifinyelelwa. 
Susa amakhafutha ahlangene lesiliva umkhandi athole ukulungisa isitsha sihle; 
susa abantu ababi phambi kwenkosi, isihlalo sayo sizaqiniswa ngokulunga. 
Ungaziphakamisi phambi kwenkosi, ungaziphendleli indawo phakathi kwezikhulu; 
kuba ngcono ukuthi yona ithi, “Woza uhlale ngapha,” kulokuthi yona ikwehlise phambi kwezikhulu. Lokho okubonileyo ngawakho amehlo 
ungaphangisi ukukubika emthethwandaba, ngoba uzathini nxa umakhelwane wakho esekuyangisa? 
Nxa ungaya edale lomakhelwane wakho ungahambi usuhlabela imfihlo yenu, 
funa lowo okuzwayo akuyangise uhlale usungumuntu olebizo elibi. 
Ilizwi elikhulunywe ngesikhathi esifaneleyo linjengama-aphula egolide ananyekwe emcepheni wesiliva. 
Njengecici legolide kumbe umceciso wegolide elicengiweyo kunjalo ukukhuza komuntu ohlakaniphileyo, kolalelayo. 
Njengokuqanda kongqwaqwane ngesikhathi sokuvuna sinjalo isithunywa esithembekileyo kwabasithumileyo; sivuselela imiphefumulo yabaphathi baso. 
Njengamayezi lomoya okungalethi izulu unjalo umuntu ozikhukhumeza ngamandla angelawo. 
Ngokubekezela inkosi ingancengwa ize ivume, lolimi oluthambileyo lungalephula ithambo. 
Nxa uthole inyosi, dlana okwaneleyo ungedlulisi amalawulo, uzazihlanza. 
Ungabi ngunsukuzonke endlini kamakhelwane wakho uzacina usumdaka abesekuzonda. 
Unjengesagila loba inkemba kumbe umtshoko obukhali umuntu ofakaza amanga ngomakhelwane wakhe. 
Njengezinyo elibuhlungu loba unyawo olwenyeleyo kunjalo ukweyama emuntwini ongathembekanga ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka. 
Njengomuntu okhumula ibhatshi mhla kumakhaza, loba njengokuthela iviniga phakathi kwesoda unjalo ohlabelela izingoma emuntwini odabukileyo. 
Nxa isitha sakho silambile siphe ukudla sidle; nxa somile siphe amanzi sinathe. 
Ngokwenza lokho, umokhela amalahle avuthayo ekhanda, njalo uThixo uzakubusisa. 
Njengomoya wasenyakatho uletha izulu, lunjalo ulimi olulobuqili luvusa ulaka. 
Kungcono ukuhlala ekhulusini lophahla lwendlu kulokuhlala ndlu yinye lomfazi olomlomo. 
Njengamanzi aqandayo emuntwini okhatheleyo, zinjalo izindaba ezimnandi ezivela elizweni elikude. 
Njengesiziba esidungekileyo loba umthombo ongcolileyo unjalo umuntu olungileyo odedela umuntu omubi. 
Kakukuhle ukudla inyosi wedlulise, njalo kakulasithunzi ukuzidingela ukudunyiswa. 
Njengedolobho eselidilikelwe ngumthangala walo unjalo umuntu ongazithintiyo.
