1. *UNdikhoyo uqhube wathi kuYobi:
2. “Ngaba ufuna ukubambana noSomandla,usalatha iimpazamo zakhe?Wena omangalela uThixo, phendula.”
3. Ke yena uYobi uphendule *uNdikhoyo wathi:
4. “Xa kungokunje ndiyaqonda ukuba andinto yanto.Ndingaba saphendula ndithini?Kungokunje ndidl' imu.
5. Ewe, ndithethe ndaphinda-phinda,kambe ke ngoku ndosuka ndiwuthunge.”
6. Ke *uNdikhoyo waphendula esesaqhwithini, wathetha noYobi wathi:
7. “Khawuqule, ume njengendoda;mna ndiza kukubuza, wena ke uphendule.
8. “Ngaba ufuna ukusisingela phantsi isigwebo sam?Ugweba mna ukuze wena ugwetyelwe?
9. Ngaba nawe womelele njengoThixo?Nelakho ilizwi lizongoma njengelakhe?
10. Xa kunjalo ke khawuvele uveth' isidima uzimasekile;khawuthi jize isihomo nesithozela.
11. Khawuphokoze loo msindo wakho,ubaphoxe abo bazigwagwisayo.
12. Ewe, badilize abo baqholosayo;ke zona izikhohlakali zinyhashele apho zikhoyo.
13. Xa zizonke zibandakanye uzingcwabe;zigqume zihlale kwelo labafileyo.
14. Xa kunjalo ke ndiya kuvuma,ndisithi unako ukuzisindisa ngawakho amandla.
15. “Imvubu le uyayiqonda?Njengawe nayo ndayidala;phofu yona injengenkomo, itya ingca.
16. Kambe ke, yeka – asimandla esinqeni sayo!Yinto emzimba unemisipha engwanyalala!
17. Yinto emsila ungqangqasholo okomsedare;ke zona izihlunu zemilenze ziphindene.
18. Amathambo ayo omelele njengobhedu;ewe, afana nemivalo yentsimbi.
19. Kuzo zonk' izidalwa ithe kratya ngokukhwankqisa;nguMdali wayo yedwa onako ukuyoyisa.
20. Ukutya kwayo kufumaneka ezintabeni phaya,apho zidloba-dloba khona izilwanyana.
21. Ungafika ingqengqe phantsi kwamatyholo akhula ngasemanzini,okanye izimele ezingcongolweni, emgxobhozweni phaya.
22. Ewe, iphumla emthunzini wamatyholo entlanjeni phaya,ufike ijikelezwe yimingcunube.
23. Yona ayiwoyiki umlambo ophuphumayo;ithi zole nakwiJordan elatyuza amanzi de abethe emlonyeni wayo.
24. Kodwa kodwa ngubani ongayihlaselayo?Ngaba uqale wayityhaphaza?Ngubani ongayithiyela ayithi qhoo ngaloo mpumlo?
