1 UJobe wasephendula wathi:

2 "Usumsize njani ongelamandla!

Usuyilamulele njani ingalo ebuthakathaka!

3 Yiseluleko esinjani osusiphe lowo ongelakuhlakanipha!

Njalo usubonise mbono bani!

4 Ngubani okuncedisileyo ukukhuluma amazwi la na?

Ngokabani umoya okhulume ngomlomo wakho na?

5 Abafileyo basebuhlungwini obukhulu,

labo abangaphansi kwamanzi lalabo abahlala kuwo.

6 UKufa kwambulekile phambi kukaNkulunkulu;

ikhamisile indawo yokubhubha.

7 Uyawendlala umkhathi wenyakatho endaweni engelalutho;

aphanyeke umhlaba phezu kweze.

8 Ugoqele amanzi emayezini akhe,

kodwa amayezi kawapatshaki yikusindwa ngamanzi.

9 Uyayigubuzela inyanga egcweleyo,

endlale amayezi phezu kwayo.

10 Umisa umkhawulo wokwengama umkhathi emanzini

kube ngumngcele phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama.

11 Izinsika zamazulu ziyazamazama,

zisethuswa yikukhuza kwakhe.

12 Ngamandla akhe waluthulisa ulwandle;

ngenhlakanipho yakhe waquma uRahabi waba yiziqa.

13 Ngomoya wakhe umkhathi wacethula;

isandla sakhe sayigwaza inyoka ibaleka.

14 Njalo le yimisebenzi yakhe engaphandle nje ekucineni;

esikuzwayo yilizwana nje lokunyenyeza kwakhe!

Pho ngubani ongawuzwisisa umdumo wamandla akhe na?"
