Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
2 Ngoba isibili lingabantu, lenhlakanipho izakufa lani.
“Wo, lina yini elizibona kuyini abantu, njalo lolwazi luzakufa lani!
3 Lami ngilengqondo njengani, kangiphansi kulani. Njalo ngubani ongelazo izinto ezinje?
Kodwa lami ngilayo ingqondo njengani; kalingedluli ngalutho. Ngubani ongazaziyo izinto zonke lezi?
4 Ngiyinhlekisa kumngane wami, obiza kuNkulunkulu amphendule; olungileyo oqondileyo uyinhlekisa.
Sengiyinto yokuhlekisa ebanganini bami, lanxa ngacela kuNkulunkulu waphendula, inhlekisa sibili, kodwa ngilungile, ngimsulwa!
5 Uyisibane esidelelekayo emnakanweni wowonwabileyo; ulungele ukutshelela ngonyawo.
Abantu abahlezi kuhle bayakweyisa ukwehlelwa ngumnyama, bathi kuyimfanelo yalabo onyawo zabo sezitshelela.
6 Amathente abaphangi alokuthula, labamthukuthelisayo uNkulunkulu bavikelekile, kulowo oletha uNkulunkulu esandleni sakhe.
Amathente ezigebenga avikelekile, lalabo abamthukuthelisayo uNkulunkulu bavikelekile, uNkulunkulu ulabo ezandleni zakhe.
7 Kodwa-ke buza khathesi inyamazana, zizakufundisa, lenyoni zamazulu, zizakutshela.
Kodwa ake ubuze izinyamazana, zizakufundisa, kumbe izinyoni zemoyeni, zizakutshela;
8 Kumbe khuluma lomhlaba, uzakufundisa, lenhlanzi zolwandle zizakulandisela.
kumbe khuluma lomhlaba, uzakufundisa, loba uthi inhlanzi zolwandle zikwazise.
9 Ngubani ongaziyo phakathi kwakho konke lokhu ukuthi isandla sikaJehova sikwenzile lokhu?
Yikuphi kwalezizinto okungaziyo na ukuthi yisandla sikaThixo esikwenzileyo lokhu?
10 Okusesandleni sakhe umphefumulo wakho konke okuphilayo, lomoya wayo yonke inyama yomuntu.
Esandleni sakhe kulempilo yazo zonke izidalwa lokuphefumula kwabantu bonke.
11 Indlebe kayihloli yini amazwi, njengolwanga luzinambithela ukudla?
Indlebe kayiwahloli yini wonke amazwi njengolimi lunambitha ukudla?
12 Kwabadala kakhulu kulenhlakanipho, lebudeni bezinsuku kulokuqedisisa.
Angithi ukuhlakanipha kufunyanwa ebadaleni na? Angithi impilo ende iletha ukuzwisisa na?
13 Kuye kukhona inhlakanipho lamandla, uleseluleko lokuqedisisa.
NgokukaNkulunkulu ukuhlakanipha lamandla; ukweluleka lokuzwisisa kungokwakhe.
14 Khangela, udiliza, kungabe kusakhiwa; uvalela umuntu, kungabe kusavulwa.
Lokho akubhidlizayo kungeke kwamiswa njalo; lowo amvalelayo ngeke avulelwe.
15 Khangela, uvimbela amanzi, atshe; abesewathuma, agenqule umhlaba.
Angaze awavale amanzi, kuba lokoma; angawavulela kuba lomonakalo elizweni.
16 Kuye kukhona amandla lenhlakanipho; okhohlisiweyo lomkhohlisi bangabakhe.
Angawakhe amandla lenhlakanipho; okhohliswayo lomkhohlisi ngabakhe bonke.
17 Ukhupha abeluleki bahambe behlutshulwe, enze abehluleli babe yizithutha.
Abeluleki uyabakhupha bahambe beze enze abehluleli babe yiziphukuphuku.
18 Uthukulula isibopho samakhosi, abophe umbhinco enkalweni zawo.
Uyanyomula izibopho ezibotshwe ngamakhosi azibophe ngelembu ekhalweni.
19 Ukhupha abapristi bahambe behlutshulwe, awise abalamandla.
Abaphristi uyabakhupha beze awagenqule amadoda abesithi asegxilile.
20 Uphambula inkulumo yabathembekileyo, asuse ukuqedisisa kwabasebekhulile.
Uyazithulisa izindebe zabeluleki abathenjiweyo asuse ulwazi lwabadala.
21 Uthela ukudelela phezu kweziphathamandla, axegise umbhinco wabalamandla.
Izikhulu uzihleka usulu abalamandla abathathele lawomandla.
22 Wembula izinto ezijulileyo ezisemnyameni, akhuphele ekukhanyeni ithunzi lokufa.
Uyembula imfihlo ezenzeka emnyameni amathunzi azikileyo awalethe ekukhanyeni.
23 Enze izizwe zibe zinkulu, abesezichitha; andise izizwe, abesezisusa.
Wenza izizwe zikhule, abesezidiliza; uyaziqhelisa izizwe, aphinde azichithe.
24 Ususa inhliziyo yenhloko zabantu bomhlaba, aziduhise enkangala engelandlela.
Abakhokheli basemhlabeni ubemuka ukuhlakanipha kwabo; ubenza bantule enkangala.
25 Ziphumputhe emnyameni kungelakukhanya, uzenza zidiyazele njengodakiweyo.
Bayaphumputha emnyameni kungelakukhanya; ubenza badiyazele njengezidakwa.”
