Zvino shoko raJehovha rakasvikazve kwandiri, richiti, “Mwanakomana womunhu, nguva yavakagara panyika yavo, imba yaIsiraeri yakaisvibisa nomufambiro wavo nezvavaiita; mufambiro wavo pamberi pangu wakanga wakaita setsvina yomukadzi ari kumwedzi kwake. Naizvozvo ndakateurira hasha dzangu pamusoro pavo nemhaka yeropa ravakateurira pamusoro penyika, zvavakaisvibisa nezvifananidzo zvavo; ndikavaparadzira pakati pamarudzi, vakadzingirwa kunyika dzose; ndakavatonga zvakafanira mufambiro wavo nezvavakaita. Zvino vakati vachisvika kumarudzi, kwavakaenda, vakamhura zita rangu dzvene, nokuti vanhu vakati pamusoro pavo, ‘Ava ndivo vanhu vaJehovha, vakabuda panyika yake.’ Asi ndakanga ndinehanya nezita rangu dzvene, rakanga ramhurwa neimba yaIsiraeri pakati pamarudzi kwavakaenda. “Naizvozvo chiti kuimba yaIsiraeri, zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, ‘Handiiti chinhu ichi nokuda kwako, iwe imba yaIsiraeri, asi nokuda kwezita rangu dzvene ramakamhura pakati pamarudzi kwamakaenda.’ “Zita rangu guru ndichariita dzvene, iro rakamhurwa pakati pamarudzi, ramakamhura imi pakati pavo; zvino marudzi achaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, nenguva yandichaitwa mutsvene mamuri pamberi pavo, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha. Nokuti ndichakubvisai pakati pamarudzi, nokukuunganidzai kunyika dzose, ndikuisei kunyika yenyu. “Ndichasasa mvura yakachena pamusoro penyu, muve vakachena; ndichakunatsai matsvina enyu ose nezvifananidzo zvenyu zvose. Ndichakupaiwo mwoyo mutsva, nokuisa mukati menyu mweya mutsva; ndichabvisa mwoyo webwe panyama yenyu, ndikupei mwoyo wenyama. “Uye ndichaisa Mweya wangu mukati menyu, nokukufambisai nemitemo yangu; muchachengeta zvandakarayira nokuzviita. Muchagara munyika yandakapa madzibaba enyu; muchava vanhu vangu, neni ndichava Mwari wenyu. Ndichakuponesai patsvina yenyu yose; ndichadana zviyo, nokuzviwanza, handingakuremedziyi nenzara. Ndichawanza michero yemiti, nezvinomera muminda, kuti murege kuzoshorwa namarudzi avanhu zvichinzi mune nzara. Ipapo mucharangarira mufambiro wenyu wakaipa, nezvamakaita zvisina kunaka; muchazvisema mumene pamusoro pezvakaipa zvenyu nezvinonyangadza zvenyu. Handiiti izvozvi nokuda kwenyu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha muzive izvozvo; nyarai muve nenyadzi pamusoro pomufambiro wenyu, imi imba yaIsiraeri. Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, “Nezuva randichakunatsai pazvakaipa zvenyu zvose, ndichagarisa vanhu mumaguta, namatongo achavakwa. Nyika yakanga iri dongo icharimwa, iyo yakanga iri dongo pamberi pavose vaipfuura napo. Ipapo vachati, ‘Nyika iyi yaiva dongo, yafanana nomunda weEdheni; maguta akanga akaparadzwa akasiyiwa aiva matongo, iwo avakirwa ogarwa.’ Ipapo marudzi akasara kumativi enyu ose achaziva kuti ini Jehovha, ndini ndakavaka nzvimbo idzo dzaiva matongo, ndikasimazve pakanga pakaparadzwa; ini Jehovha ndakazvitaura, ndichazviita.” Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha, “Asi ndinoda kukumbirwa chinhu ichi neimba yaIsiraeri, kuti ndivaitire izvozvo; ndichavawanzira vanhu, vave seboka ramakwai. Sezvakaita boka ramakwai anobayirwa Jehovha, sezvakaita boka ramakwai muJerusaremu pamitambo yakatarwa, saizvozvo maguta aiva matongo achazadzwa namapoka avanhu; zvino vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.”
