Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati: “Teererai mashoko angu zvakanaka, uye uku ngakuve kunyaradza kwamunondipa. Ndiitirei mwoyo murefu ndichitaura, uye kana ndataura, mungaramba muchiseka. Kana ndirini, kunyunyuta kwangu kunopesana nomunhu zvake here? Ko, nei ndisingafaniri kupererwa nomwoyo murefu? Nditarisei muvhunduke, uye isai ruoko rwenyu pamuromo wenyu. Kana ndichizvirangarira, ndinotya kwazvo, uye kudedera kunobata nyama yangu. Nei vakaipa vachiramba vachirarama, vachikwegura uye vachiwedzera simba? Vana vavo vakagadzikana uye vakachengeteka pamwe navo pamberi pameso avo, uye vazukuru vavo pamberi pokuona kwavo. Dzimba dzavo dzakachengeteka uye hadzina kutya, uye hapana shamhu yaMwari inowira pamusoro pavo. Nzombe yavo inokwira uye haitadzi; mhou yavo inobereka mhuru isingabvisi pamuviri. Vanorega vana vavo vaduku vachitamba vakasununguka seboka remakwai, uye vana vavo vanopembera. Vanoimba vachiridza tambureni nembira, uye vanofara nokurira kwenyere. Vanopedza mazuva avo mukubudirira, uye vanoburukira muguva norugare. Asi vanoti kuna Mwari, ‘Tisiyei toga! Hatina chido chokuziva nzira dzenyu. Wamasimba Ose chii, zvokuti timushumire iye? Uye tingawanei nokunyengetera kwaari?’ Asi kubudirira kwavo hakusi mumaoko avo pachavo; handina chokuita nezano ravakaipa. Kanganiko mwenje wavakaipa unodzimwa? Kanganiko njodzi yavo inowira pamusoro pavo? Kanganiko Mwari anogovera marwadzo mukutsamwa kwake? Kanganiko vakaita semashanga pamberi pemhepo, sehundi inopeperetswa nedutu? Imi munoti, ‘Mwari anochengetera vana vomunhu mutongo wake.’ Ngaaripire munhu amene, kuti azvidzidze. Meso ake pachake ngaaone kuparadzwa kwake, uye ngaanwe hasha dzaWamasimba Ose. Nokuti ane hanya yeiko neimba yake shure kwake, kana mwedzi yake yatemwa ikapfupiswa? Ko, pane angadzidzisa Mwari ruzivo here, sezvo ari iye anotonga vari kumusoro? Mumwe munhu anofa achine simba rakakwana, akagadzikana zvizere uye akachengeteka, muviri wake wakakora zvakanaka uye mongo wamapfupa ake uchakanyoroka. Mumwezve anofa nomwoyo unorwadza, asina kana kumboravira chinhu chakanaka. Vanovata pasi pamwe chete muguruva, uye honye dzinovafukidza vose vari vaviri. Tarirai, ndinoziva ndangariro dzenyu, namano enyu okundiitira zvakaipa. Nokuti munoti, ‘Iripiko zvino imba yomukuru? Iripiko tende raigara vakaipa?’ Hamuna kana kumbobvunza vaya vanofamba nenzira here? Hamungagamuchiri uchapupu hwavanopa here, kuti munhu akaipa anochengetedzwa pazuva renjodzi, kuti anonunurwa pazuva rehasha? Ndiani anomutsiura pachiso chake pamusoro pamaitiro ake, uye ndiani anomuripira zvaakaita? Anotakurwa achiendeswa kuguva, uye guva rake rinorindwa. Ivhu romupata rinotapira kwaari; munhu wose anomutevera, uye vaya vakamutangira havaverengeki. Saka mungandinyaradza sei namashoko asina maturo? Mhinduro dzenyu hapana chimwe kunze kwenhema.”
