Jobe 24:1-25
24 “Kungani izikhathi zingazange zibekelelwe nguMninimandla onke ngokwakhe,+Nalabo abamaziyo bengazange bazibone izinsuku zakhe?+
2 Kukhona labo abahlehlisa izimpawu zemingcele;+Umhlambi bawuhlwithile, ukuze baweluse.
3 Baqhuba ngisho nembongolo yeduna yezintandane bamuke nayo;Bathatha inkomo yomfelokazi njengesibambiso.+
4 Bachiliza abampofu endleleni;+Ngesikhathi esifanayo abahluphekile bomhlaba bazigcine bezifihlile.
5 Bheka! Njengamadube+ ehlaneBaphumile baya emsebenzini wabo, befuna ukudla.Ithafa eliwugwadule linika yilowo nalowo isinkwa sabafana.
6 Ensimini bavuna ifolishi layo,Baphange isivini somubi ngokushesha.
7 Behamba-ze, bachitha ubusuku bengagqokile,+Bengambethe emakhazeni.+
8 Bamatiswa yisiphepho semvula yezintaba,Futhi ngenxa yokuthi asikho isikhoselo+ kumelwe bagone idwala.
9 Bahlwitha intandane ngisho nasebeleni,+Futhi okuphezu kohluphekileyo bayakuthatha njengesibambiso.+
10 Behamba-ze, kumelwe bazulazule bengagqokile,Belambile, kumelwe bathwale izikhwebu ezivuniwe.+
11 Bachitha imini bephakathi kwezindonga zethala;Kumelwe banyathele izikhamo zewayini, nokho bahlala bomile.+
12 Ngaphandle komuzi abafayo balokhu bebubule njalo,Nomphefumulo wabanamanxeba amabi ukhalela usizo;+Futhi uNkulunkulu ngokwakhe akakubheki njengento engafanele.+
13 Kepha bona, babé phakathi kwezidlubulundi ezimelene nokukhanya;+Abazange baziqaphele izindlela zako,Futhi abazange bahlale emendweni yako.
14 Umbulali uyavuka emini,Ubulala ohluphekile nompofu;+Futhi ebusuku uba yisela lemihla namalanga.+
15 Kepha iso lesiphingi,+ lilinde ubumnyama bakusihlwa,+Sithi, ‘Alikho iso elizongibona!’+Futhi sibeka isembozo ebusweni baso.
16 Simbé ebumnyameni sangena ezindlini;Emini kumelwe bahlale besendlini ehluthulelwe.Abazange bakwazi ukukhanya.+
17 Ngoba ukusa kuyafana nethunzi elimnyama+ kubo,Ngoba bayaqaphela ukuthi ziyini izinto ezesabisayo ezingazelelwe zethunzi elimnyama.
18 Unejubane phezu kobuso bamanzi.Isiqephu sezwe labo siyoqalekiswa emhlabeni.+Ngeke aphendukele ngasendleleni yezivini.
19 Isomiso, nokushisa futhi, kuhlwitha amanzi eqhwa;Libahlwitha kanjalo neShiyoli labo abonile!+
20 Isibeletho siyomkhohlwa, impethu iyommunca kamnandi,+Ngeke aphinde akhunjulwe.+Futhi ukungalungi kuyophulwa njengomuthi.+
21 Usebenzelana nowesifazane oyinyumba ongazali,Nomfelokazi,+ angamenzeli lutho oluhle.
22 Ngokuqinisekile, uyomonyula abantu abanamandla ngamandla akhe;Uyovuka futhi angaqiniseki ngokuphila kwakhe.
23 Uyomenza aqiniseke+ ukuthi angazisekela;Futhi amehlo akhe ayoba phezu kwezindlela zabo.+
24 Baphakamile isikhashana, khona-ke abasekho,+Behlisiwe;+ njengawo wonke umuntu bayanquntulwa,Futhi bayanqunywa njengesihloko sesikhwebu sokusanhlamvu.
25 Ngakho ngempela, ubani oyongenza umqambimangaNoma enze izwi lami libe yize?”
