8 But I don si am sey na God Almighty spirit dey enter
and give human being wisdom.
9 Nor bi old age go make pesin wise

10 Naw, I won tok and una go listin to mi.
Make I tell una wetin I know.

and as una dey tink wetin to tok.
12 I hear una well-well,

13 So why una dey tell pipol sey una get wisdom?
Naw, na only God go fit ansa am, bikos una don fail.
14 Job dey tok to una;

15 “Job, yor words too strong for all of dem;
dem nor get ansa for yu.
16 Make I dey wait wen dem nor get anytin to tok?
Dem just stand for der,
bikos dem nor get anytin to tok again.
17 But I go give yu my own ansa
and I go tell yu wetin I dey tink.
18 I nor fit wait to tok
or hold my words again.
19 If una nor let mi tok,
my belle go burst like wine wey dey new wine bag.
20 I must tok make I dey free!
I nor fit bear-am again!
21 I nor go support one pesin for dis matter
and I nor go praiz anybody sef!
22 I nor sabi praiz pesin anyhow,
bikos God go ponish mi,
if I do like dat.
