6UJobe wasephendula wathi:

2 Kungathi ukudabuka kwami bekungalinganiswa lokulinganiswa, lenhlupheko yami ibekwe ndawonye esikalini! 3 Ngoba khathesi kungaba nzima kuletshebetshebe lolwandle. Ngenxa yalokho amazwi ami angawamawala. 4 Ngoba imitshoko kaSomandla iphakathi kwami, obuhlungu bayo umoya wami uyabunatha; izesabiso zikaNkulunkulu ziyazihlela zimelene lami. 5 Ubabhemi weganga uyakhala yini esohlazeni, kumbe inkabi iyakhonya yini ekudleni kwayo? 6 Kambe okuduma kungadliwa kungelatshwayi? Kulokuhlabusa kokumhlophe kweqanda yini? 7 Umphefumulo wami uyala ukukuthinta, kunjengokudla kwami okunengekayo.

8 Kungathi isicelo sami singafikaa, njalo uNkulunkulu anginike ithemba lami, 9 ukuthi kumthokozise uNkulunkulub ukungichobozac, ayekele isandla sakhe, angiqumed. 10 Khona kungahlala kube yinduduzo yami, bengingajabula ebuhlungwini obungayekeliyoe; ngoba kangiwafihlangaf amazwig oNgcweleh. 11 Ayini amandla ami ukuze ngithembe? Lokuphela kwami kuyini ukuze ngelule impilo yamii? 12 Amandla ami angamandla amatshe yini? Inyama yami ilithusi yini? 13 Usizo lwami kalukimi yini? Lenhlakanipho iyaxotshwa kimi yinij?

14 Ohluphekayo nga ehawukelwa ngumngane wakhe, kodwa udela ukwesabeka kukaSomandla. 15 Abafowethu kabenzanga ngokuthembeka njengesifula, njengempophoma yezifula bayedlula, 16 ezimnyama ngenxa yongqwaqwane, okucatsha kizo iliqhwa elikhithikileyo. 17 Ngesikhathi sokufudumala kwazo ziyanyamalala, sekutshisa zicitshe endaweni yazo. 18 Imikhondo yendlela yazo iyajikak, yenyukele enkangala ibhubhel. 19 Izihambi zeTema zakhangelam, indwendwe zezihambi zeShebha zalindela kuyon. 20 Zaba lenhloni ngoba zazithembileo, zafika kuyo zayangekap. 21 Ngoba khathesi kalisilutho; liyabona isesabiso, liyesaba. 22 Ngitshilo yini ukuthi: Lethani kimi? Kumbe: Phanini isipho ngenxa yami empahleni yenuq? 23 Kumbe: Ngikhululani esandleni sesitha? Kumbe: Lingihlenge esandleni sabalesihlukur? 24 Ngifundisani, khona mina ngizathula; lingenze ngiqedisise engiduhe khona. 25 Alamandla angakanani amazwi aqotho; kodwa ukusola okuvela kini kusolanis? 26 Likhumbula amazwi okusola yini, lezinkulumo zophelelwe lithemba zingumoyat? 27 Yebo, liziwisela phezu kwentandane, ligebhele umngane wenu umgodiu. 28 Ngakho-ke, vumani lingikhangele, ngoba kuphambi kobuso benu nxa ngiqamba amangav. 29 Ake liphenduke, kungabi lobubi, yebo, libuye liphenduke, ukulunga kwami kukukhow. 30 Kambe kukhona ububi olimini lwami? Ukunambitha kwami bekungehlukanise yini izinto ezimbix?
