“Mwanakomana womunhu uti kwairi, ‘Iwe uri nyika isina kunatswa, isina kunisirwa mvura nezuva reshungu dzangu.’ Vaporofita vayo vakaita rangano mukati mayo; seshumba inoomba ichibvanzura chayabata, saizvozvo vakapedza mweya yavanhu; vakatora pfuma nezvinokosha, vakawanza chirikadzi mukati mayo. Vapristi vayo vakaparadza murayiro wangu, vakamhura zvinhu zvangu zvitsvene; havana kutsaura pakati pezvitsvene nezvisati zviri zvitsvene, kana kuzivisa vanhu kusiyana kwezvisina kunaka nezvakanaka, vakatsinzina meso avo varege kuona maSabata angu; ini ndamhurwa pakati pavo. Machinda ayo mukati mayo vakafanana namapere anobvanzura zvaabata, vachiteura ropa nokuparadza mweya, kuti vawane pfuma vachinyengera. “Vaporofita vayo vakavayuwira nesuko, vachiona zvinonyengera nokuvaukira zvenhema vachiti, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, izvo Jehovha haana kutaura.’ “Vanhu venyika vakamanikidza nokupamba; zvirokwazvo vakatambudza varombo navanoshayiwa, vakamanikidza mutorwa asina mhaka hake. Zvino ndakatsvaka pakati pavo munhu angagadzira rusvingo, angamira pakakoromoka pamberi pangu achirwira nyika, kuti ndirege kuiparadza; asi handina kuwana nomumwe. Naizvozvo ndakadurura shungu dzangu pamusoro pavo; ndakavapedza nomoto wehasha dzangu; ndakauyisa zvavakaita pamisoro yavo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.
