Choncho Elihu mwana wa Barakeli wa fuko la Buzi anati:
“Ine ndine wamngʼono,
inuyo ndinu akuluakulu,
nʼchifukwa chake ndimaopa,
ndimachita mantha kuti ndikuwuzeni zimene ndimadziwa.
Ndimaganiza kuti, ‘Ayambe ndi akuluakulu kuyankhula;
anthu amvulazakale ndiwo amaphunzitsa nzeru.’
Koma mzimu wa Mulungu mwa munthu,
mpweya wa Wamphamvuzonse, ndi umene umapereka nzeru zomvetsa zinthu.
Si okalamba amene ali ndi nzeru,
si amvulazakale okha amene ali ndi nzeru zomvetsa zinthu zimene zili zoyenera.
 
10 “Nʼchifukwa chake ndikuti, ‘Mvereni;
inenso ndikukuwuzani zimene ndikuzidziwa.’
11 Ndadikira nthawi yonseyi,
ndimamvetsera mwachidwi zimene mumayankhula,
pamene mumafunafuna mawu oti muyankhule,
12 ineyo ndinakumvetseranidi.
Koma palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe wa inu amene anatsutsa Yobu;
palibe aliyense wa inu amene anamuyankha mawu ake.
13 Musanene kuti, ‘Ife tapeza nzeru;
Mulungu ndiye amutsutse, osati munthu.’
14 Koma Yobu sanayankhule motsutsana ndi ine,
ndipo ine sindimuyankha monga mmene inu mwamuyankhira.
 
15 “Iwo asokonezeka ndipo alibe choti ayankhulenso;
mawu awathera.
16 Kodi ine ndidikire chifukwa iwo sakuyankhula tsopano,
pakuti angoyima phee wopanda yankho?
17 Inenso ndiyankhulapo tsopano;
nanenso ndinena zimene ndikudziwa.
18 Pakuti ndili nawo mawu ambiri,
ndipo mtima wanga ukundikakamiza;
19 mʼkati mwanga ndili ngati botolo lodzaza ndi vinyo,
ngati matumba a vinyo watsopano amene ali pafupi kuphulika.
20 Ndiyenera kuyankhula kuti mtima utsike;
ndiyenera kutsekula pakamwa panga ndi kuyankha.
21 Sindidzakondera munthu wina aliyense,
kapena kuyankhula zoshashalika,
22 pakuti ndikanakhala wa luso loyankhula moshashalika,
Mlengi wanga akanandilanga msanga.”
