Vakandimukira vakapinda kwazvo pakuora, asi ndichavatuka vose. Ndinoziva Efuremu, Isiraeri havana kuvanzika pamberi pangu; nokuti zvino iwe Efuremu, wakapata, Isiraeri vakasvibiswa.” “Zvavakaita hazvivatenderi kudzokera kuna Mwari wavo; nokuti mweya wokufeva uri mukati mavo, havazivi Jehovha. “Kuzvikudza kwaIsiraeri kunovapupurira pachena; saka Isiraeri naEfuremu vachagumburwa pazvakaipa zvavo, Judha vachagumburwawo pamwechete navo. “Vachaenda namakwai avo nemombe dzavo kundotsvaka Jehovha, asi havangamuwani; akaenda kure navo.
