Jobho 30:1-31
30 “Nje-ke sengihlekwa+Nababantu abancani kimi,Aboyise ebengekhe ngivumeUkubabeka nezinja ezigade umhlambami.
2 Amandla wezandla zabo angisiza ngani?
Amandlabo atjhabalele.
3 Baphele amandla ngebanga lokutlhaga nokungabi nokudla;Bakhuma ihlabathiEsele itjhatjalalisiwe.
4 Bakha amakari wetswayi emithini;Ukudla kwabo mirabhu yemithi.
5 Bayaqothwa emphakathini;+Abantu babaqotha inga ziinlelesi.
6 Bahlala emirhobeni,Emigodini nematjeni.
7 Barhuwelela bahlangana nemithiBegodu babuthene hlangana nemithi emide.
8 Amadodana womuntu onganangqondo namadodana womuntu onganagama,Aqothiwe enarheni.
9 Kodwana nje, sebahlekisa ngami ngitjho neengomeni zabo;+Sengibe yinto yokuhlekwa* kibo.+
10 Bayanginyenya begodu bajamela kude nami;+Abanazo iinhloni zokungikhafulela ebusweni.+
11 Ngombana uZimu ungenze ngabogaboga begodu wangithobisa,Bangiphikisa ngaphandle kokusaba.
12 Bajame njengesiqubuthu esifuna ukungisahlela;Bangikatelela bona ngibalekeBegodu babeka iinqabo zokungitjhabalalisa.
13 Bone iindlela zamiBegodu benza ihlekelelami yaba yimbi khulu,+Akhenge kube nomuntu obakhalimako bona balise.
14 Batheleka ngasuthi bangene ngetjhuba elikhulu ebodeni;Bagedekela endaweni etjhatjalalisiweko.
15 Ngifikelwe kukwesaba;Isithunzi sami siphephuka njengomoya,Begodu iphuluswami inyamalele njengelifu.
16 Nje-ke sengizokufa;+Ngitlhaga qobe langa.+
17 Ebusuku ngihlatjwa buhlungu emathanjenami;+Ubuhlungu engibuzwako abupheli.+
18 Isambatho sami sidoseka ngamandla amakhulu;Singikghama njengekholoro yesambatho sami.
19 UZimu ungilahlele edakeni;Senginjengethuli nomlotha.
20 Ngibawa isizo kodwana awungiphenduli;+Ngiyasikima bona ngitjhidele kuwe kodwana awungitjheji.
21 Ungijikele kabuhlungu;+Wangisahlela ngesandla sakho esinamandla.
22 Ungiphakamisile wangithwala ngomoya;Ngemva kwalokho, wangitjhabalalisa esiwuruwurwini.*
23 Ngombana ngiyazi ukuthi uzongibangela bona ngife,Ngiye endlini lapho woke umuntu ophilako azokuya khona.
24 Kodwana akunamuntu ozokusahlela indoda egandelelekileko+Njengombana ibawa isizo hlangana nesikhathi sayo sehlekelele.
25 Akhenge ngibalilele na abavelelwe zizinto ezibuhlungu?
Akhenge ngibazwele ubuhlungu na abatlhagako?+
26 Nanyana bengilindele okuhle kodwana kwafika okumbi;Bengilindele umkhanyo kodwana kwafika ubumnyama.
27 Ukuwurubajeka okungaphakathi kwami akhenge kuphele;Ngiqalene namalanga wobuhlungu.
28 Ngikhamba ebumnyameni,+ anginathemba.
Embuthanweni ngiyasikima ngibawa isizo.
29 Ngibe mfowabo leempungutjhaBengaba mngani wabantwana beenciliba.+
30 Isikhumba sami sibe mnyama begodu sahlubeka;+Ukugula kwami* kwenze amathambami atjhisa.
31 Iharibha lami lisetjenziselwe ukulila,Nefuludi yami isetjenziselwe ukurhahlawula isililo.
