“Zvanzi naJehovha wehondo, Mwari waIsiraeri, ‘Ruramisai nzira dzenyu nezvamunoita, ndigokugarisai panzvimbo ino.’ Musavimba namashoko enhema, ‘Izvezvi itemberi yaJehovha, temberi yaJehovha, temberi yaJehovha.’
“Nokuti kana mukaruramisa kwazvo nzira dzenyu nezvamunita, kana muchiita zvakarurama munhu mumwe nomumwe kunowokwake.
“Kana musingamanikidzi mutorwa, nenherera, nechirikadzi, mukasateura ropa risina mhosva panzvimbo ino, nokusatevera vamwe vamwari, vanokuisai panjodzi; ipapo ndichakugarisai panzvimbo ino, panyika yandakapa madzibaba enyu, kubvira panguva yakare kusvikira nokusingaperi.
“Tarirai, munovimba namashoko enhema, asingagoni kubatsira. Mungaba, nokuuraya, nokuita hupombwe, nokupika nhema, nokupisira Bhaari zvinonhuwira, nokutevera vamwe vapirwa vamakanga musingazivi, ndokuzouya momira pamberi pangu muimba ino, panodanwa zita rangu, muchiti, ‘Tasunungurwa;’ kuti mugoita izvi zvose zvinonyangadza here? Ko imba ino panodanwa zita rangu rava bako ramakororo pamberi penyu here? Tarirai, ini, ini ndimene ndaona izvozvo ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
