“Kana wazosvika munyika yauri kupiwa naTenzi Mwari wako rega kutevedzera tsika dzinosemesa dzinoitwa namarudzi avanhu ivavo. Pakati penyu ngaparege kuva nomunhu anopisa mumoto mwana wake, mukomana kana musikana somupiro. Hapafanire kuva nomunhu anoshopera, kana anofembera nemaminimini, kana anoita un'anga hwokududzira mashura, kana munhu akaromba mishonga, kana anoita mapipi, kana kuva svikiro, kana ane shave rouroyi, kana anobvunzira kumidzimu nokuti Tenzi haambodi zvake ani naani anoita zvakaipa zvakadai. Pamusana pezviito zvinosemesa izvozvi Tenzi Mwari wenyu ari kufanokudzingirai marudzi avanhu iwayo. Saka imi rambai muri pachokwadi muchitevera Tenzi Mwari wenyu musina chinongo. “Ndinodaro nokuti ndudzi dzavanhu dzamuri kuzodzinga munyika dzadzo dzinovimba navanofembera vachiita zvemaminimini nevanoshopera, asi imi Tenzi Mwari wenyu haakubvumidzei kuita izvozvo. Tenzi Mwari wenyu achakumutsirai muporofita akaita seni achibva mukati menyu, hama yenyu chaiyo, iyeyo ndiye wacho wokuteerera. “Handiti musi uya, takaungana paGomo reSinai makakumbira Tenzi Mwari wenyu muchiti, ‘Dai waro tachirega zvedu kunge tichanzwa Tenzi achitaura, kana kuramba tichiona zimoto iri nokuti tingafe.’ Tenzi ndokunditi, ‘Zvavataura zvose izvi zvakanaka. Ndichavamutsira muporofita akaita sewe achibva mavari paukama hwavo. Ndichamupa mashoko angu. Achavataurira zvose zvandinoti avaudze. Munhu asingateerere mashoko angu aachataura anozviona neni. Asi muporofita anotaura mashoko muzita rangu, ini ndisina kumutuma kana anotaura mashoko muzita ravamwe vamwari, muporofita iyeyo anofanira kufa.’ Mungadaro mukazvibvunza mumwoyo menyu kuti, ‘Tingazoziva sei shoko rinenge risina kunge rataurwa naTenzi?’ Kana muporofita akataura chinhu muzita raTenzi, chinhu chacho chikarega kuzoitika kana kuzovapo, ndicho chinhu chinenge chisina kutaurwa naTenzi. Muporofita iyeyo anenge akangotaura zvomusoro wake, regai kumutya.
