uElifazi utyhola uYobhi

1Waphendula uElifazi wakwaTeman, wathi:

2Umntu unokumnceda na ke uThixo, njengokuba indoda elumkileyo inokuba luncedo kuye?

3Kuhle na kuSomandla, ukuba lilungisa? Kumlungele na ukuba uthe wazilungisa iindlela zakho?

4Wokukhalimela kabukhali na, ngokuba esoyika? Uya ematyaleni nawe na?

5Ububi bakho abubukhulu na? nobugwenxa benu obungenasiphelo?

6Kuba uthathe isibambiso kumntakwenu ngaphandle kwentlawulo, wabahluba abo babehamba ze.

7Ubungamsezi amanzi odiniweyo, Olambileyo ubumvimba isonka.

8Ukuba ke uthe waba ligorha, ulelona ihlabathi; kwaye bekuhlala indoda elinene.

9Ubagxotha abahlolokazi bodwa, Zaphuke izandla zeenkedama.

10Ngenxa yoko, izibatha zifihlwe ngaphakathi, kwaye uloyiko lwentlekele luyothusa;

11Okanye ubumnyama obungenakububona; kwaye amanzi amaninzi awugubungela.

12Akakho na uThixo emazulwini? Yekani ukuphakama kweenkwenkwezi!

13Kwaye uthi: Wayazi njani uThixo loo nto? Unokugweba na, eselifini elimnyama?

14Amafu asisigqubuthelo sakhe, ukuba angaboni; kwaye uhamba kwisazinge sezulu.

15Umendo wamandulo uyawugcina na, Bahanjwe ngabangendawo?

16owatshatyalaliswayo kwakudala, osiseko sagutyungelwa ngunogumbe;

17abathi kuThixo, Sishiye; Wothini na ke uSomandla kubo?

18Ke nina nizizalisile izindlu zabo ngezinto ezilungileyo; Ke yona iqhinga labangendawo likude lee kum.

19Akubona oko amalungisa avuya, Abamsulwa bahlekisa ngawo,

20nangona ubutyebi bethu bungatshabalali, noko iintsalela zabo zitshiswe ngumlilo.

21Khawuziqhelisele, ube noxolo;

22Wamkele umyalelo emlonyeni wakhe, Ugcine amazwi akhe entliziyweni yakho.

23Ukuba uthe wabuyela kuSomandla, uya kwakhiwa; bususe ubungendawo ezintenteni zakho.

24Yisuseni igolide ibe njengothuli, negolide yakwaOfire njengamatye equla.

25Ewe, uSomandla uya kuba likhusi lakho, yaye uya kuba nentabalala yesilivere.

26Ngokuba uya kuluphakamisela khona uvuyo lwakho kuSomandla, Nobuso bakho kuThixo.

27Uthandaze kuye, wokuva, Azizalise izibhambathiso zakho.

28Uze wenze isigqibo, sokulindela wena, Ukukhanya kukhanyisele umendo wakho.

29Ekubhukuqweni kohlanga uthi, Luyasuka; abalulamileyo uya kubasindisa.

30Uya kusisindisa isiqithi sabamsulwa, sisindiswe bubunyulu bezandla zakho.
