UJobe 5:1-27
5 “Memeza ubone ukuthi kulomuntu ozasabela yini.
Ngubani phakathi kwabangcwele ozacela kuye uncedo?
2 Ulaka luyambulala oyisithutha,Lomhawu uyambulala oyisiphukuphuku.
3 Ngimbonile umuntu oyisithutha ehluma,Kodwa masinyane nje indawo ahlala kuyo ibisiqalekisiwe.
4 Amadodana akhe kawavikelekanga ngitsho,Ayanyathenyathelwa egedini ledolobho+ aswele umuntu ongawalamulela.
5 Akuvunileyo kudliwa ngolambileyo,Uze akukhiphe ngitsho laphakathi kwameva,Amaqili ayayihawukela impahla yakhe leyamadodana akhe.
6 Izinto ezilimazayo kaziveli emhlabathini,Lohlupho kalumili phansi.
7 Impilo yomuntu ivele ilenhlupho,Njengoba lomlilo ulenhlansi eziqonga zisiya phezulu.
8 Aluba benginguwe bengizancenga uNkulunkulu,Ngethule udaba lwami kuye,
9 Lowo owenza izinto ezinkulu esingeke sizizwisise,Izinto ezimangalisayo esingeke sizibale siziqede.
10 Unisa izulu emhlabeni,Athumele amanzi elizweni.
11 Uyamphakamisa umuntukazana,Asindise ohlulukelweyo.
12 Uyawafadalalisa amacebo amaqili,Ukuze imisebenzi yawo ingaphumeleli.
13 Wenza abahlakaniphileyo babanjwe yimijibila yabo,+Ukuze amacebo abo angaphumeleli.
14 Lanxa ligwaze umhlaba bona basemnyameni,Bahamba bephumputha emini angathi kusebusuku.
15 Usindisa abantu elimini lwabo oluhlaba njengenkemba,Asindise abayanga esandleni sabalamandla,
16 Ukuze abantukazana babe lethemba,Imilomo yabangalunganga ivalwe.
17 Uyathokoza umuntu okhuzwa nguNkulunkulu,Ngakho ungayali nxa uSomandla ekulaya!
18 Ngoba uyalimaza aphinde abophe amanxeba,Ephule amathambo aphinde awelaphe ngezandla zakhe.
19 Uzakukhulula ezinhluphekweni eziyisithupha,Lohlupho lwesikhombisa kalusoze lukwenze lutho.
20 Ngesikhathi sendlala uzakukhulula ekufeni,Ngesikhathi sempi akuvikele ungadliwa yinkemba.
21 Uzavikelwa emazwini abuhlungu njengomchilo,+Njalo awusoze wesabe lanxa kusiza umonakalo.
22 Uzaluhleka uhlupho, uhleke lendlala.
Awusoze uzesabe izinyamazana zeganga.
23 Amatshe asemasimini kawasoze akulimaze,*Lezinyamazana zeganga zizahlalisana lawe ngokuthula.
24 Uzahlala usazi ukuthi itende lakho livikelekile,*Uzathi ukhangela amadlelo akho uthole konke kukhona.
25 Abantwabakho bazakuba banengi,Lezizukulwane zakho zande angathi butshani beganga.
26 Uzangena engcwabeni usaqinile,Njengezithungo zamabele avunwe ngesikhathi esiyiso.
27 Thina sikuhlolile lokhu sathola ukuthi kunjalo.
Wena nje lalela futhi ukwamukele.”
