Muka, muka, usunge dzisimbe, iwe guta reZioni. Pfeka hanzu dzako dzakanakisisa; iyewe Jerusaremu, guta rinoera, nokuti mauri iwe hamuchazombopinda zvamo vasina kudzingiswa kana vakan'ora. Ibva muvhu, umuke, ugare, iwe Jerusaremu musungwa, bvisa majoti muhuro mako, iwe nhapwa, mukunda, guta reZioni. Ndinodaro nokuti zvanzi naTenzi, “Pamakatengeswa hapana chakaripwa, saizvozvowo kununurwa kwenyu hapana mari inobviswa, nokuti zvanzi naTenzi Mwari, pakutanga imi vanhu vangu makaenda kuIjipiti mukambondogara ikoko uyewo vechiAsiria vakazokuonesai nhamo mahara. Zvino pakadai apa, changu chaizvo chiiwo ipapa, ndizvo zviri kutaurwa naTenzi, zvichinyatsoonekwa kuti vanhu vangu vari kungotorwa zvavo mahara?
