1UThixo* wathi kuJobe:
2“Lowo ophikisana loSomandla angamqondisa na?
3Ngakho uJobe wasephendula uThixo* wathi:
4“Kakungilingananga, ngingakuphendula njani na?
5Ngikhulumile kanye, kodwa kangilampendulo,
6UThixo* wasekhuluma loJobe ephakathi kwesiphepho wathi:
7“Qina njengendoda;
8Ungakusola na ukwahlulela kwami ngokulunga?
9Ulayo ingalo enjengekaNkulunkulu na,
10Nxa kunjalo zicecise ngobukhosi langenkazimulo,
11Khulula ukuvutha kolaka lwakho,
12khangela wonke umuntu ozigqajayo umbeke phansi,
13Bambele bonke ndawonye othulini;
14Lapho-ke lami ngizavuma kuwe
15Khangela imvubu,
16Ilamandla amangalisayo okhalweni lwayo,
17Umsila wayo uyazunguza njengomsedari;
18Amathambo ayo alezimbobo zethusi,
19Iyingqala yezidalwa zikaNkulunkulu,
20Izintaba zimlethela izithelo zazo,
21Ilala ngaphansi kwezihlahla ezibukekayo,
22Izihlahla ezinhle ziyayisitha ngemithunzi yazo;
23Nxa umfula uthwele izikhukhula kayethuki;
