When he established the heavens, I was there; When he set a circle on the surface of the deep, |
| Alipofanya imara mawingu yaliyo juu; Chemchemi za bahari zilipopata nguvu; Mithali 8:28 |

| Ana heri mtu yule anisikilizaye, Akisubiri sikuzote malangoni pangu, Akingoja penye vizingiti vya milango yangu. Mithali 8:34 |
Blessed is the man who hears me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at my door posts. |
| Maana yeye anionaye mimi aona uzima, Naye atapata kibali kwa Bwana. Mithali 8:35 |
