5 ¹Khala ngoku—ukho na onokukuphendula? Nguwuphi kwabangcwele oya kuguqukela kuye? ²Kuba umsindo uyasibulala isinyabi, nekhwele liyasigwinta isidenge. ³Mna ngokwam ndabona isinyabi sendelisela iingcambu, kodwa ngebhaqo ndayiqalekisa indawo yaso yokuhlala. ⁴Abantwana baso bakude nokhuseleko; batyunyuzwa enkundleni, kungabikho bani ubahlangulayo. ⁵Abalambileyo bayidla indyebo yaso, bayithabatha naphakathi kwameva, baze abanxaniweyo bakhefuzele ubutyebi baso. ⁶Kuba imbandezelo ayiveli eluthulini, nenkxwaleko ayintshuli emhlabeni. ⁷Kodwa umntu uzalelwe inkxwaleko, njengoko iintlantsi zibhabhela phezulu.

⁸“Ke mna, bendiya kumfuna uThixo, ndize ndiyinikele kuThixo into yam. ⁹Wenza izinto ezinkulu ezingenakugocwagocwa, imimangaliso engenakubalwa. ¹⁰Unika imvula phezu kobuso bomhlaba, athumela amanzi emasimini. ¹¹Ubabeka phezulu abathobekileyo, baze abakhedamileyo baphakanyiselwe ekhuselekweni. ¹²Uyawaphuthisa amacebo abanobuqhophololo, ukuze izandla zabo zingaphumeleli nto. ¹³Uyazibamba izilumko ebuqhetsebeni bazo, aze amaqhinga abanobuqhophololo akhukuliseke. ¹⁴Bahlangabezana nobumnyama emini, baphuthaphuthe emini emaqanda ngokungathi bubusuku. ¹⁵Kodwa uyabasindisa abasweleyo ekreleni lomlomo wabo, nasesandleni sabanamandla. ¹⁶Ngoko amahlwempu anethemba, intswela-bulungisa ivale umlomo wayo.

¹⁷“Hayi, uyolo lwalowo athethiswa nguThixo; ngoko uze ungaluceki uqeqesho lukaSomandla. ^a a v17 La mazwi ngakaElifazi — asisigwebo sikaBawo wethu ngoYobhi. Ku-42:7 uBawo wethu umkhalimela uElifazi ngokumjijela, into evakala ingobulumko obumisiweyo isetyenziswa njengesixhobo ukusingisa ukuba iinkxwaleko zikaYobhi zimele zingqine isono esifihlakeleyo. ¹⁸Kuba uyaphalusa, aze abophe; uyaqhekeza, kodwa izandla zakhe ziyaphilisa. ¹⁹Kwiinkxwaleko ezintandathu uya kukuhlangula, nakwezisixhenxe akukho bungozi buya kukuchukumisa. ²⁰Ngexesha lendlala uya kukukhulula ekufeni, nasemfazweni emandleni ekrele. ²¹Uya kufihlwa esiniyweni solwimi, ungayi koyika ukutshatyalaliswa xa kufika. ²²Ukutshatyalaliswa nendlala uya kukuhleka, ungayi kuwoyika amarhamncwa asendle. ²³Kuba uya kuba nomnqophiso namatye asendle, aze amarhamncwa asendle axolelane nawe. ²⁴Uya kwazi ukuba intente yakho ikhuselekile; uya kuhlola ubuhlanti bakho, kungekho nto ingekhoyo. ²⁵Uya kwazi ukuba abantwana bakho baya kuba baninzi, nenzala yakho ibe njengotyani bomhlaba. ²⁶Uya kufika engcwabeni lakho uluphele kakuhle, njengesithungu esivunwe ngexesha laso.

²⁷“Ewe, oku sikugqogqile, kuyinyaniso. Yiva oku, uze ukwazele wena.”
