UJobe 20 Abantu ababi babengakwazi ukuya kude

¹ Wayesephendula uZofari umNahama, wathi:

² Ngakho imicabango yami iyangiphendula, ngakho ngiyaphangisa.

³ Ngikuzwile ukuthukwa kwami, nomoya wokuqonda kwami wangiphendula.

⁴ Anazi yini ukuthi kwasendulo, selokhu umuntu abekwa emhlabeni,

⁵ Ukuthi ukunqoba kwababi kufitshane, intokozo yabazenzisi ngokomzuzwana nje?

⁶ Noma ubukhosi bakhe bukhuphukela ezulwini, nekhanda lakhe lifinyelela emafwini;

⁷ Kodwa uyabhubha kuze kube phakade njengamalongwe akhe; abambonileyo bayothi: Uphi na?

⁸ Uyakundiza amuke njengephupho, angafunyanwa; yebo, uyoxoshwa njengobuso bobusuku.

⁹ Ngisho neso elambona ngeke lisambona; nendawo yakhe ayisayikuphinda imbone.

¹⁰ Abantwana bakhe bayofuna ukujabulisa abampofu, futhi izandla zakhe ziyobuyisela impahla yakhe.

¹¹ Amathambo akhe agcwele isono sobusha bakhe, esizolala naye othulini.

¹² Noma ububi buba mnandi emlonyeni wakhe, noma ebufihla phansi kolimi lwakhe;

¹³ Noma ewuyeka futhi engawushiyi; kodwa lithule emlonyeni wakhe.

¹⁴ Kodwa inyama yakhe iguqukile ezibilinini zakhe, iyinyongo yamabululu phakathi kwakhe.

¹⁵ Ugwinye ingcebo, futhi uyophinde ayikhafule; UNkulunkulu uyoyikhipha esiswini sakhe.

¹⁶ Uyakumunca isihlungu samabululu, ulimi lwenyoka luyombulala.

¹⁷ Ngeke abone imifula, imifula, imifudlana yoju nebhotela.

¹⁸ Lokho akusebenzile, uyokubuyisela, angakugwinyi; ngokwentando yakhe ukuphindisela, futhi ngeke ajabule ngakho.

¹⁹ Ngokuba wacindezela, wabashiya abampofu; ngoba wathatha ngendluzula indlu angayakhanga;

²⁰ Ngempela, ngeke ezwe ukuthula esiswini sakhe, ngeke ngaphandle kwalokho akufisayo.

²¹ Akunakusala ekudleni kwakhe; ngakho kakho ozadinga impahla yakhe.

²² Ekusutheni kokwanela kwakhe uyacindezeleka; zonke izandla zababi ziyakufika phezu kwakhe.

²³ Lapho esesuthisa isisu sakhe, uNkulunkulu uzathululela phezu kwakhe ukuvutha kwentukuthelo yakhe, akunise phezu kwakhe ngesikhathi esidla.

²⁴ Uyobalekela isikhali sensimbi, nomnsalo wensimbi uyomgwaza.

²⁵ Iyakhishwa futhi iphume emzimbeni; yebo, inkemba ebenyezelayo iphuma enyongweni yakhe; uvalo luphezu kwakhe.

²⁶ Ubumnyama bonke buyocasha ezindaweni zabo zokucasha; umlilo ongabasiwe uyakumqeda; kuyoba kubi kosala etendeni lakhe.

²⁷ Izulu lizakwambula ububi bakhe; futhi umhlaba uyomvukela.

²⁸ Izithelo zendlu yakhe ziyakumuka, nempahla yakhe iyakugobhoza ngosuku lolaka lwakhe.

²⁹ Lesi yisabelo somuntu omubi kaNkulunkulu, nefa amiselwe lona nguNkulunkulu.
