14 Nanso, Onyankopɔn kasa wɔ akwan ahodoɔ so,

23 "Nanso sɛ abɔfoɔ apem no mu baako wɔ nʼafa

25 afei ne wedeɛ bɛyɛ foforɔ sɛ abɔfra deɛ,

na asi ne dada mu sɛ mmeranteberɛ mu deɛ.

26 Sɛ ɔbɔ Onyankopɔn mpaeɛ a, ɔbɛnya adom afiri ne hɔ,

ɔbɛhunu Onyankopɔn anim na ɔde ahosɛpɛ ateam

na Onyankopɔn agye no bio sɛ ɔteneneeni.

27 Afei ɔbɛba nnipa mu abɛka sɛ,

‘Meyɛɛ bɔne na mekyeaa deɛ ɛtene,

28 Ɔgyee me ɔkra na wamma no ankɔ damena mu,

30 sɛdeɛ onipa kra renkɔ damena mu,

na nkwa hann no ahyerɛn ne so.

31 "Yɛ aso, Hiob, na tie me;

32 Na sɛ wowɔ biribi ka a, bua me;

33 Sɛ ɛnte saa nso a, ɛnneɛ tie me.

Yɛ dinn na mɛkyerɛ wo nyansa."
