1. UJobe wayesemphendula uJehova, wathi:
2. “Ngiyazi ukuthi ungenza konke;alinakuvinjwa icebo lakho.
3. Ngubani ositheza iziluleko engenakwazi na?Ngikhulumile lokho ngingakuqondanga,izimangaliso ezinkulu kunami ebengingazazi.
4. “Ake ungizwe, kukhulume mina;ngiyakukubuza, wena ungazise.
5. Ngangizwile ngawe ngokuzwa kwezindlebe,kepha manje iso lami liyakubona.
6. Ngalokho ngiyazinenga,ngizisole othulini nasemlotheni.”
7. Kwathi lapho uJehova esekhulumile lawo mazwi kuJobe, uJehova wathi ku-Elifazi umThemani: “Intukuthelo yami iyavuthela wena nabangane bakho ababili, ngokuba anikhulumanga okulungileyo ngami njengenceku yami uJobe.
8. Ngalokho zithatheleni izinkunzi eziyisikhombisa nezinqama eziyisikhombisa, niye encekwini yami uJobe, nizinikelele ngazo zibe ngumnikelo wokushiswa; uJobe inceku yami uyakunikhulekela, ngokuba uma ngivuma ubuso bakhe, angiyikwenza kini njengobuwula benu, lokhu ningakhulumanga okulungileyo ngami njengenceku yami uJobe.”
9. Base behamba u-Elifazi umThemani, noBilidadi umShuhi, noSofari umNahama, benza njengokukhuluma kukaJehova kubo; uJehova wavuma-ke ubuso bukaJobe.
10. UJehova wambuyisa uJobe ekuhluphekeni, lapho ekhulekela abangane bakhe; wenezela kukho konke uJobe ayenakho ngokukuphinda kabili.
11. Kwase kufika kuye bonke abafowabo, nabo bonke odadewabo, nabo bonke ababazana naye ngaphambili, badla endlini yakhe; bamkhalela, bamduduza ngakho konke okubi uJehova amehlisele khona, yilowo nalowo wamnika uhlamvu lwemali necici legolide.
