12 “Em i save paulim tingting bilong ol man bilong trik na mekim giaman pasin na ol i no inap mekim ol kain kain pasin ol i laik mekim.
13 Sampela man i save tingting long ol kain kain pasin bilong mekim nogut long ol arapela man, tasol God i save mekim ol dispela pasin bilong ol i bagarapim ol yet. I olsem man i putim umben bilong kisim ol abus, tasol umben i holimpas em yet. Na ol samting ol i ting long mekim, ol i go lus nating.

16 Olsem na ol rabisman i bilip na wetim God i helpim ol. Na ol man bilong mekim pasin nogut i no inap mekim nogut long ol.
17 “Sapos God I Gat Olgeta Strong i stretim pasin bilong wanpela man, orait dispela man i ken belgut. Na nau ating em i laik stretim yu, olsem na nogut yu givim baksait long em.
18 Yumi save, sapos God i mekim save long yu na givim pen long yu, em bai i oraitim yu gen.
19 Planti taim moa em bai i helpim yu long taim nogut na i no gat wanpela samting bai i bagarapim yu.
20 Sapos taim bilong hangre i kamap, em bai i givim kaikai long yu na bai yu stap gut. Na long taim bilong pait, em bai i lukautim yu na bai ol birua i no inap kilim yu i dai.
21 “Sapos ol man i mekim tok giaman bilong daunim nem bilong yu, orait God bai i helpim yu na tok bilong ol bai i no inap daunim yu. Na taim samting nogut i kamap na i laik bagarapim yu, orait bai God i sambai long yu na bai yu no pret.
22 Long taim bilong bikpela hangre na long taim nogut, God bai i was long yu, na bai yu stap belgut na amamas. Na bai yu no pret long ol wel abus.
23 Na taim yu bairaim gaden bilong yu, baira bilong yu bai i no paitim ol ston. Na ol wel abus bai i stap gut wantaim yu.
24 Na bai yu save olgeta samting bilong yu i stap gut na yu ken sindaun isi long haus sel bilong yu. Na bai yu lukim olgeta sipsip bilong yu i stap, na i no gat wanpela i lus.
25 Lain bilong yu bai i kamap bikpela moa, na bai ol i planti moa olsem gras i stap nabaut long graun.
26 Na bai yu kamap lapun tru na bai yu dai. Bai yu olsem rais i redi pinis long gaden, na ol man i kisim long taim bilong en stret.
27 Job, mipela i bin pilim na i save pinis long ol dispela samting, na mipela i save, em i tru olgeta. Mi bin autim dispela tok bilong helpim yu, olsem na yu mas putim yau gut long dispela na kisim tingting.”
