Abaduduzi Abadabukisayo

UJobe ubabiza ngokuthi bangabaduduzi abalusizi, futhi uthi naye angakwazi ukwenza izinkulumo, ukube izindawo zabo zazishintshile. Uchaza uNkulunkulu njengeqhawe elambamba entanyeni lammisa njengento yokucitshwa. Nokho uyagcizelela ukuthi ufakazi wakhe umi ezulwini.

UJobe waphendula wathi: “Ngizwile izinto eziningi ezinjengalezi; nonke ningabaduduzi abadabukisayo. Awupheli yini amazwi akho omoya? Yini ekucunulayo ukuba uqhubeke uphendula? Nami bengingakhuluma njengoba nenza, uma beniseskhundleni sami; bengingahlanganisa amazwi ngimelane nani, ngininikinele ikhanda lami. Kodwa benginganiqinisa ngomlomo wami, nenduduzo yezindebe zami yehlise ubuhlungu benu. Uma ngikhuluma, ubuhlungu bami abunciphi; uma ngibamba, yini engishiyayo? Ngempela manje uNkulunkulu usengidinisile; ubachithile bonke abantu bami. Ungishwabanisile, lokho kwaba ngufakazi; ukuzaca kwami kuyangivukela, kufakaze ebusweni bami. Intukuthelo yakhe ingidwengulile yangihlasela; ungigedlisele amazinyo akhe kimi; isitha sami singigqolozela ngamehlo aso. Abantu bangikhamisele imilomo yabo; bangishaye esihlathini ngokungihleka; babuthene ndawonye ukumelana nami. UNkulunkulu unginikele kwabangalungile, wangiphonsa ezandleni zababi. Ngangonwabile, wase engichoboza mina; wangibamba ngentamo wangiphahlaza ngaba yizicucu; ungimise ngaba yinhloko yakhe. Abacibi bakhe bayangihaqa mina; uqhekeze izinso zami engenamusa, wathululela inyongo yami emhlabathini. Ungaphula ngokungishaya kaninginingi; ungigijimela njengeqhawe. Ngithungele izembatho zokulila esikhumbeni sami, ngafihla isiphongo sami othulini. Ubuso bami bubomvu ngenxa yokukhala, nethunzi elijulile lehlele ezinkopheni zami, noma kungekho budlova ezandleni zami, nomthandazo wami uhlanzekile. Mhlaba, ungaligqibi igazi lami, nokukhala kwami makungatholi ndawo yokuphumula. Ngisho manje, ufakazi wami usezulwini, nommeli wami uphezulu. Abangani bami bayangihleka; iso lami lithululela izinyembezi kuNkulunkulu, ukuze amele icala lomuntu phambi kukaNkulunkulu, njengendodana yomuntu imelela umakhelwane wayo. Ngokuba kusele iminyaka embalwa idlule, bese ngihamba indlela yokungabuyi.”
