UJehova wakhuluma noJobe esesivunguvungwini, wathi:
"
Wake wayala ekuseni empilweni yakho
futhi wabonisa ukusa indawo yakho
ngokubamba imikhawulo yomhlaba,
baze bazanyazanyiswa ababi ebusweni balo na?
( Jobe 38:1, 12-13 )

Siyakubonga ngoba iNdodana yakho izophinde ize ngobukhosi
wahlulele labo abenqaba ukuphenduka futhi bakuvume;
ngenkathi kubo bonke abakuvumayo,
ekukhonzile, futhi ekukhonza ngokuphenduka, Uzokwenza
ithi: Wozani, nina enibusiswe nguBaba, nilidle
yombuso enawulungiselelwa kusukela ekuqaleni
wezwe.
