1Wayesephendula uJobe, wathi:
2Usizile kanjani ongenamandla!
Usindisile kanjani ingalo engenamandla?
3Umlulekile kanjani ongenakuhlakanipha!
Umemezile kangakanani ukuqonda!
4Utshelwé ngubani lawomazwi,
nomoya kabani waphuma kuwe, na?
5Izithunzi ziyathuthumela
phansi kwamanzi kanye nabakhelwane bawo.
6Indawo yabafileyo ize phambi kwakhe,
nendawo yokubhubha ayinasisibekelo.
7Welula inyakatho phezu kwendawo engenalutho;
uphanyeka umhlaba phezu kweze.
8Ubopha amanzi emafwini akhe;
ifu alidabuki phansi kwawo.
9Uyasibekela ubuso besihlalo sakhe sobukhosi;
uyeneka ifu lakhe phezu kwaso.
10Uyingiliza ngomudwa phezu kobuso bamanzi,
kuze kuphele ukukhanya ebumnyameni.
11Izinsika zezulu ziyathuthumela;
ziyethuswa ngokukhuza kwakhe.
12Ngamandla akhe uyanyakazisa amanzi;
ngokuqonda kwakhe uyachitha uRahabi.
13Ngokuphefumula kwakhe izulu liyakhazimula;
isandla sakhe sigwazile inyoka esheshayo.
14Bheka, lokhu kungamaphethelo nje ezindlela zakhe,
izwi lokunyenyeza nje elizwakalayo ngaye;
indumo yamandla akhe, ngubani obeyakuyiqonda na?
