UJobe 3

¹Ngemva kwalokho uJobe wavula umlomo wakhe waliqalekisa ilanga azalwa ngalo.

²Wathi:

³“Sengathi ilanga lokuzalwa kwami lingatshabalala,

⁴Lolosuku sengathi lungaphenduka ubumnyama;

⁵Sengathi ubumnyama lethunzi elikhulu kungaluginya njalo;

⁶Lobobusuku, sengathi ubumnyama bungabuthi jwamu;

⁷Sengathi lobobusuku bungaba yinyumba;

⁸Sengathi labo abaqalekisa insuku bangaluqalekisa lolosuku,

⁹Sengathi izinkanyezi zalo zokusa zingafiphala;

¹⁰ngoba kaluyivalanga iminyango yesibeletho ngisiza

¹¹Kungani ngingafanga ngizalwa,

¹²Kungani kwaba lamadolo okungemukela

¹³Ngoba manje ngabe ngilele ekuthuleni;

¹⁴kanye lamakhosi lababusi bomhlaba,

¹⁵kanye lamakhosana ayelegolide,

¹⁶Kumbe kungani ngingathukuzwanga emhlabathini njengomphunzo na,

¹⁷Khonale ababi kabasaxokozeli,

¹⁸Abathunjiweyo labo bazuza ukukhululeka;

¹⁹Abantukazana lezikhulu bakhonale,

²⁰Kungani ukukhanya kuphiwa labo abasosizini na,

²¹kulabo abakhalela ukufa okungafikiyo,

²²abaphuphuma ngenjabulo

²³Kungani impilo iphiwa umuntu

²⁴Ngoba ukububula sokuphenduke ukudla kwami kwansukuzonke;

²⁵Ebengikwesaba sekungehlele,

²⁶Kangilakho ukuchelesa, kangilakho ukuthula;
