Izaga zikaSolomoni 31:10-31

Ngubani ongathola umfazi oqotho? ngoba intengo yakhe idlula kakhulu amarubi. Inhliziyo yomyeni wakhe ithembele kuye ngokulondeka, ukuze angadingi kuphangwa. Uyoyenzela okuhle hhayi okubi zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwakhe. Ufuna uboya bezimvu nefilakisi futhi asebenze ngokuzithandela ngezandla zakhe. Unjengemikhumbi yabathengisi; uletha ukudla kwakhe kude. Uvuka kusesebusuku, aphe abendlu yakhe ukudla, aphe izincekukazi zakhe isabelo. Ubheka izwe alithenge; ngezithelo zezandla zakhe utshala isivini. Ubopha izinkalo zakhe ngamandla, aqinise izingalo zakhe. Uyabona ukuthi ukuthengisa kwakhe kuhle; isibani sakhe asicimi ebusuku. Ubeka izandla zakhe othini lokuphotha, lezandla zakhe zibambe isihlabathi. Uyelulela isandla sakhe kwabampofu; yebo, uyelulela izandla zakhe kwabampofu. Akesabi iqhwa endlini yakhe, ngokuba yonke indlu yakhe yembethe izindwangu ezibomvu. Uzenzela izigqoko ngezicucu; izingubo zakhe ziwusilika nokububende. Indoda yakhe iyaziwa emasangweni, ngokuba ihlezi phakathi kwamalunga ezwe. Wenza ilineni elicolekileyo, athengise ngalo; futhi unikeze amabhande kumthengisi. Amandla nodumo yizingubo zakhe; futhi uzojabula ngesikhathi esizayo. Uvula umlomo wakhe ngokuhlakanipha; nolimi lwakhe kukhona umthetho womusa. Uyaqaphela izindlela zendlu yakhe, angadli isinkwa sobuvila. Abantwana bakhe bayasukuma bathi ubusisiwe; nomyeni wakhe, futhi uyamncoma. Amadodakazi amaningi enzile ngobuqotho, kepha wena udlula wonke. Ubuhle buyinkohliso, nobuhle buyize; kepha owesifazane owesaba uJehova uyakudunyiswa. Mnikeni ezinye zezithelo zezandla zakhe; nemisebenzi yakhe mayimdumise emasangweni.
