1Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
2“Kunyange nanhasi ndinonyunyuta ndine shungu;
3Dai chete ndaiziva kwandingamuwana;
4Ndaitaura hangu mhaka yangu pamberi pake,
5Ndaizoziva hangu zvaaizondipindura,
6Kuti aizondidzivisa nesimba guru here?
7Ipapo munhu akarurama aigona kuzotaura mhaka yake pamberi pake,
8“Asi kana ndikaenda kumabvazuva, iye haako;
9Paanenge ari pabasa nechokumusoro, handimuoni;
10Asi iye anoziva nzira yandinofamba nayo;
11Tsoka dzangu dzakanyatsotevera paakatsika;
12Handina kumbobva pamirayiro yemiromo yake;
13“Asi iye anomira oga, uye ndiani angapikisana naye?
14Anoita zvaakatema pamusoro pangu,
15Ndokusaka ndichitya pamberi pake;
16Mwari akaita kuti mwoyo wangu unete;
