1. Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
2. “Ndakanzwa zvinhu zvakawanda sezvizvi; mose muri vanyaradzi pasina!
3. Ko, kutaura kwenyu kwamadzokorora kwenguva refu hakuperiwo here? Chii chinokurwadzai kuti murambe muchiita nharo?
4. Neniwo ndaigona kutaura semi, dai imi manga muri panzvimbo yangu; Ndaigona kutaura mashoko okukupikisai nokukudzungudzirai musoro wangu.
5. Asi muromo wangu waizokukurudzirai: kunyaradza kunobva pamuromo wangu kwaizokuvigirai zororo.
6. “Asi kana ndikatura, kurwadziwa kwangu hakuperi; uye kana ndikataura, iko hakubvi.
7. Zvirokwazvo, imi Mwari, mandipedza simba; maparadza imba yangu yose.
8. Makandisunga ini, uye zvava chapupu; kuonda kunondimukira uye kunondipupurira zvakaipa.
9. Mwari anondirova nokundibvambura mukutsamwa kwake, uye anondirumanyira meno ake; mudzivisi wangu anondidzvokorera meso ake anobaya.
