UJobe wayengakaze abone ubuso bukaNkulunkulu, noma amuzwe ekhuluma, ingasaphathwa eyokuthi abone mathupha umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kodwa lokhu kwesaba uNkulunkulu nobufakazi baphakathi nezilingo zakhe kwabonwa yibo bonke, buyathandwa, buyajabulisa, futhi butuswa uNkulunkulu, kanti abantu bayabuhlonipha futhi bayabazisa, futhi babuhubela izingoma zokudumisa. Ayikho into eyayiyinkulu noma ingavamile ngokuphila kwakhe: Njenganoma imuphi umuntu ojwayelekile, waphila kamnandi, uma kuphuma ilanga eya emsebenzi abuye ekhaya uma seliyozilahla kunina. Umehluko ukuthi kula mashumi amaningi eminyaka, wayiqonda indlela kaNkulunkulu, wawabona futhi wawaqonda amandla amakhulu nobukhosi bukaNkulunkulu, ngendlela ongekho umuntu owake wakubona ngayo. Wayengahlakaniphile ukwedlula abanye abantu, ukuphila kwakhe kwakungakhethekile, ngaphezu kwalokho, wayengenawo amakhono akhethekile angabonakali. Kodwa ayenakho, kwakuwukwethemba, inhliziyo enhle, ubuqotho, ubuntu obunothando nokulunga futhi enothando ngezinto ezinhle—okuyinto abantu abaningi abavamile ababengenazo. Wayehlukanisa phakathi kothando nenzondo, wayenobulungiswa, engahoxi, ebelesela futhi enakisisa imininingwane ekucabangeni kwakhe, futhi lapho esemhlabeni, wabona zonke izinto ezingavamile uNkulunkulu ayezenzile, wabona ubukhulu, ubungcwele, nokulunga kukaNkulunkulu, wabona ukukhathazeka kukaNkulunkulu, umusa, nokuvikela Kwakhe umuntu, futhi wabona ukuhlonipheka negunya likaNkulunkulu ophakeme. Into yokuqala eyenza uJobe wathola lezi zinto ezazingatholwa abantu abajwayelekile ukuthi wayenenhliziyo ehlanzekile, futhi inhliziyo yakhe yayingekaNkulunkulu, yayiholwa uMdali. Isizathu sesibili kwakuyizinto ayezifuna: wayefuna izinto ezinhle kakhulu, neziphelele, nomuntu ozohambisana nentando yeZulu, owayethandwa uNkulunkulu, egwema okubi. UJobe wayenazo lezi zinto ngesikhathi engakakwazi ukubona uNkulunkulu noma ukuzwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu; nakuba ayengakaze ambone uNkulunkulu, wayazi indlela uNkulunkulu aphatha ngayo zonke izinto, futhi waqonda nokuhlakanipha uNkulunkulu akusebenzisayo. Nakuba ayengakaze ezwe uNkulunkulu ekhuluma, uJobe wayazi ukuthi izenzo zokuvuza umuntu nokuthatha okomuntu konke kuvela kuNkulunkulu. Nakuba iminyaka yokuphila kwakhe ingahlukile kweyomuntu ojwayelekile, akazange avumele izinto ezingakholakali ekuphileni kwakhe zithinte ulwazi lwakhe ngobukhosi bukaNkulunkulu kuzo zonke izinto, noma ukulandela kwakhe indlela yokwesaba uNkulunkulu nokugwema okubi. Emehlweni akhe, imithetho yazo zonke izinto yayigcwele izenzo zikaNkulunkulu, futhi ubukhosi bukaNkulunkulu babungabonakala kunoma iyiphi ingxenye yokuphila komuntu. Wayengakaze ambone uNkulunkulu, kodwa wayekwazi ukubona izenzo zikaNkulunkulu kuyo yonke indawo phakathi naso sonke isikhathi sakhe emhlabeni, kukho konke ukuphila kwakhe, wayekwazi ukubona izinto nezenzo ezingavamile zikaNkulunkulu, namalungiselelo amangalisayo kaNkulunkulu. Ukuzifihla nokuthula kukaNkulunkulu akuzange kumthikameze uJobe ekutheni abone izenzo zikaNkulunkulu, futhi akuzange kuthikameze ulwazi lwakhe ngobukhosi bukaNkulunkulu kuzo zonke izinto. Ukuphila kwakhe kwakumayelana nokuqaphela ubukhosi namalungiselelo kaNkulunkulu, owayengabonakali, ekuphileni kwakhe kwansuku zonke. Ekuphileni kwakhe kwansuku zonke wezwa futhi waqonda izwi lenhliziyo namazwi, okwavezwa uNkulunkulu buthule, phakathi nokuqondisa imithetho yazo zonke izinto. Ngakho uyabona ukuthi uma abantu benobuntu obufana nobukaJobe, bengabona futhi babe nolwazi olufana nolukaJobe, bengabuqonda ngendlela efanayo ubukhosi bukaNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwazo zonke izinto. UNkulunkulu akazange avele kuJobe noma akhulume naye, kodwa uJobe wakwazi ukulunga, nokuba qotho, nokwesaba uNkulunkulu azonde okubi. Ngamanye amazwi, ngaphandle kokuvela nokukhuluma nomuntu, izenzo zikaNkulunkulu phakathi nazo zonke izinto nobukhosi Bakhe kuzo zonke izinto kwanele ukuze umuntu azi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukhona, unamandla, kanye negunya, futhi amandla negunya likaNkulunkulu kwanele ukuze kwenze lo muntu alandele indlela yokwesaba uNkulunkulu nokugwema ukwenza okubi. Kusukela umuntu ojwayelekile ofana noJobe akwazi ukwesaba uNkulunkulu nokugwema okubi, wonke umuntu ojwayelekile kufanele akwazi ukwenza kanjalo. Nakuba la mazwi engase azwakale ejwayelekile, lokhu akungqubuzani nemithetho yezinto. Kodwa akukhona lokho ebesikulindele: Ukwesaba uNkulunkulu nokugwema okubi, kungase kubonakale njengento engagcinwa uJobe kuphela. Uma kukhulunywa “ngokwesaba uNkulunkulu nokugwema okubi,” abantu bacabanga ukuthi lokho kufanele kwenziwe uJobe kuphela, njengokungathi kufakwe igama likaJobe ekwesabeni uNkulunkulu nasekugwemeni okubi. Isizathu salokho sicacile: Ngoba uJobe kuphela owayenobuntu obuthembekile, owayenenhliziyo enhle, eqotho, futhi owayenothando nokulunga futhi ethanda izinto ezinhle, ngakho uJobe kuphela owayengalandela indlela yokwesaba uNkulunkulu nokugwema okubi. Nonke kumele niliqonde iphuzu lapha—okuwukuthi akekho onobuntu obuthembekile, onenhliziyo enhle, futhi oqotho, othanda ubulungiswa nokulunga kanye nezinto ezinhle, akekho ongesaba uNkulunkulu agweme okubi, futhi ngeke bekwazi ukuphinde bathole injabulo kaNkulunkulu noma bame baqine ezilingweni. Okusho ukuthi, ngombono kaJobe, bonke abantu bayamesaba uSathane, bonke bayamangalelwa, bayahlaselwa, futhi bahlukunyezwa nguye, futhi labo uSathane azama ukubagwinya, bonke abakhululekile, bayiziboshwa ezithunjwe nguSathane.
