1 Ipapo Jobho akapindura kuna Jehovha akati:
2 “Ndinoziva kuti imi munogona kuita zvose;
hapana urongwa hwenyu hungakoneswa.
3 Mabvunza kuti, ‘Ndianiko uyu anodzikatira zano rangu iye asina zivo?’
Zvirokwazvo ndakataura pamusoro pezvinhu zvandisinganzwisisi,
zvinhu zvinoshamisa kwazvo kuti ini ndizvizive.
4 “Mati imi, ‘Chinzwa zvino,
uye ini ndichataura; ndichakubvunza iwe,
uye iwe uchandipindura.’
5 Nzeve dzangu dzakanga dzanzwa nezvenyu,
asi zvino meso angu akuonai imi.
6 Naizvozvo ndinozvishora pachangu,
uye ndinotendeuka hangu muguruva nomumadota.”
