UJobe 24

¹ Kungani izikhathi zokubona azifihlekile kuSomandla, abamaziyo abaziboni izinsuku zakhe?

² Abanye basusa izimpawu zendawo; bathatha imfuyo badle ngenkani.

³ Baxosha imbongolo yentandane, bathathe inkomo yomfelokazi ibe yisibambiso.

⁴ Baphambukisa abampofu endleleni; abampofu bomhlaba bacasha kanyekanye.

⁵ Bheka, njengezimbongolo zasendle ehlane, baphumela emisebenzini yabo; vukani ngesikhathi sokuphanga; ugwadule lubanika ukudla bona nabantwana babo.

⁶ Bavuna, kube yilowo nalowo ingqoloyi yakhe ensimini, babuthe isivuno sababi.

⁷ Bachitha ubusuku benqunu bengagqokile, ukuze bangabi nakuzimboza emakhazeni.

⁸ Bamanziswe yimvula yezintaba, bagone idwala ngenxa yokuswela indawo yokukhosela.

⁹ Bahluthula intandane esifubeni, bathathe isibambiso kwabampofu.

¹⁰ Bamdedela wahamba nqunu engagqokile, basusa izithungu zabalambileyo;

¹¹ abenza amafutha phakathi kwezindonga zabo, banyathele izikhamo zabo zewayini, bome.

¹² Abantu bayabubula besemzini, nomphefumulo wabalimeleyo uyakhala;

¹³ Bangabahlubuki ekukhanyeni; abazazi izindlela zakhe futhi abahlali emikhondweni yakhe.

¹⁴ Umbulali ovuka ngokukhanya ubulala ompofu nompofu, ebusuku unjengesela.

¹⁵ Iso lesiphingi lilindele ukuhwalala, sithi: “Akukho iso eliyongibona, lisithe ubuso baso.”

¹⁶ Ebumnyameni bagebha izindlu abaziphawulela bona emini; kabakwazi ukukhanya.

¹⁷ Ngokuba ukusa kunjengethunzi lokufa kubo; uma ekhona ozaziyo, usekwesabeni lethunzi lokufa.

¹⁸ Uyashesha njengamanzi; isabelo sabo siqalekisiwe emhlabeni; akayiboni indlela yezivini.

¹⁹ Ukoma nokushisa kuyawaqeda amanzi aneqhwa, kanjalo neHayidese labo abonileyo.

²⁰ Isizalo siyamkhohlwa; impethu iyakumdlisa kamnandi; ngeke esakhunjulwa; nobubi buyophulwa njengomuthi.

²¹ Uncenga oyinyumba ongazalanga, futhi akamenzeli okuhle umfelokazi.

²² Futhi udonsa amaqhawe ngamandla akhe; uyavuka, akakho oqinisekayo ngokuphila.

²³ Noma ephiwa ukuba alondeke, aphumule kukho; kepha amehlo akhe aphezu kwezindlela zabo.

²⁴ Baphakanyiswa okwesikhatshana, kodwa sebehambile, bathotshiswa; bayasuswa endleleni njengabo bonke abanye banqunywe njengeziqongo zemithambo.

²⁵ Uma kungenjalo manje, ubani ongangenza ngibe ngumqambimanga, enze inkulumo yami ibe yize na?
