Jobho 35:1-16
35 U-Elihu waraga nekulumakhe wathi:
2 “Kghani uzibona ulunge khulu lokha nawuzitjela uthi,‘Mina ngilunge khulu kunoZimu’?+
3 Ngombana uthi, ‘Nangabe ngilungile lokho kukuzuzisa ngani?*
Kghani ngisebujamweni obungcono ngebanga lokuthi angikoni?’+
4 Ngizokuphendula-keBegodu ngiphendule nabangani bakho.+
5 Akhuqale ezulwini ubone,Utjheje amafu+ naka ngehla kwakho.
6 Nawonako umsilinga njani uZimu?+
Nangabe imitjhaphwakho iba minengi, khuyini oyenza kuye?+
7 Ucabanga ukuthi ngokwenza kwakho okulungileko, wenzela uZimu umusa?
Kghani uZimu khewakubawa bona umenzele umusa?+
8 Ubukhohlakali bakho buthinta kwaphela umuntu onjengawe,Begodu ukulunga kwakho kuzuzisa kwaphela indodana yomuntu.
9 Abantu bayalila nabagandeleleke khulu;Balilela isizo ngebanga lezinto abantu abanamandla abazenza kibo.+
10 Kodwana akekho othi, ‘Uphi uZimu, uMbumbami omKhulu,+Obangela abantu babhine iingoma zokudumisa ebusuku?’+
11 Indlela asifundisa ngayo+ isenza sihlakaniphe ukudlula iimbandana zephasi,+Usenza sihlakaniphe ukudlula iinyoni.
12 Abantu bayalila kodwana akaphenduli,+Ngebanga lokuthi bayazikhakhazisa begodu bakhohlakele+
13 Kwamambala uZimu akasilaleli isililo salabo abangakhulumi iqiniso;+Begodu akababoni.
14 Kangangani-ke ngawe nawunghonghoyila ngokuthi awumboni!+
Yena uyazi kuhle imirarwakho, yeke okufuze ukwenze kumlinda.+
15 Ngombana akhenge asilingeke ngebanga lakho begodu akhenge akujezise;Akhenge alalele ngitjho nekulumakho yokuphahluka.+
16 UJobho utjho izinto ezinengi ezingatjho litho;Ukhuluma amezwi amanengi atjengisa ukungabi nelwazi.”+
