UJobe 18

¹Kwathi lapho uBhilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi:

²“Koze kube nini ulokhu uphethe emlonyeni?

³Kungani usithatha njengezinkomo

⁴Wena ozidabudabulayo ube yiziqa ngokuthukuthela kwakho,

⁵Isibane somubi siyacima;

⁶Ukukhanya ethenteni lakhe kuyafiphala;

⁷Izisinde zakhe zamandla ziyadeda;

⁸Inyawo zakhe zimbeka emambuleni

⁹Umjibila umhwiphula ngesithende;

¹⁰Isihitshela usifihlelwe phansi;

¹¹Uyethuka ngokwesaba inxa zonke

¹²Umonakalo umlambele;

¹³Kudla ingxenye yesikhumba sakhe;

¹⁴Uyasuswa ekuvikelekeni kwethente lakhe

¹⁵Umlilo uhlala ethenteni lakhe;

¹⁶Impande zakhe ziyabuna ngaphansi

¹⁷Ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kuyaphela emhlabeni;

¹⁸Uyasuswa ekukhanyeni aye ebumnyameni

¹⁹Kalabantwana loba isizukulwane ebantwini bakibo,

²⁰Abantu bentshonalanga bayanengwa yisiphetho sakhe;

²¹Ngempela linjalo ikhaya lomuntu omubi;
