Kakavarai namai venyu, kakavarai; nokuti haazi mukadzi wangu, neni handizi murume wake; ngaabvise kufeva kwake pachiso chake, nokupata kwake pakati pamazamu ake; kuti ndirege kumukumurira nguo dzake dzose, ndimuite sezvaakanga akaita nezuva rokuzvarwa kwake, ndimuite serenje, ndimushandure ave nyika yakaoma, ndimuuraye nenyota. Zvirokwazvo handinganzwiri vana vake nyasha, zvavari vana voufeve; nokuti mai vavo vakafeva; vakavabereka vakaita zvinonyadzisa, nokuti vakati, “Ndichatevera vadikani vangu, vanondipa zvokudya zvangu nemvura yangu, namakushe angu neshinda yangu, namafuta angu nezvokunwa zvangu.” Naizvozvo tarira, ndichasosera nzira yako neminzwa, ndichamuvakira rusvingo, kuti arege kuwana nzira dzake. Achatevera vadikani vake, asi haangavabati; achavatsvaka, asi haangavawani; ipapo achati, “Ndichadzokera kumurume wangu wokutanga, nokuti nenguva iyo ndaifara kupfuura zvino.” Nokuti akanga asingazivi kuti ndini ndaimupa zviyo, newaini namafuta, nokumuwanzira sirivha nendarama, zvavaibatira Bhaari nazvo. Saka ndichamutorera zviyo zvangu nenguva yazvo, newaini yangu itsva nenhambo yazvo, ndichabvisa makushe angu neshinda yangu zvaifanira kufukidza kushama kwake. Zvino ndichafukura kunyadzisa kwake pamberi pavadikani vake, hakuna angamurwira paruoko rwangu. Ndichagumisawo mufaro wake wose, nemitambo yake, nenguva dzake dzokugara kwomwedzi, namaSabata ake, newungano dzake dzose dzakatarwa. Ndichaparadza midzambiringa yake nemionde yake, yaaiti, “Ndiwo mubayiro wangu wandakapiwa navadikani vangu; ndichazviita dondo, mhuka dzokusango dzichazvidya. Ndichamuranga nokuda kwamazuva avaBhaari, vaaipisira zvinonhuwira, azvichishonga nezvindori zvake zvenzeve nezvishongo zvake, akatevera vadikani vake, akandikangwanwa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
