Nokuti akati, ‘Kubva pazuva randakaburitsa vanhu vangu muIjipiti, handina kumbosarudza guta murudzi rupi norupi rwaIsraeri kuti Zita rangu rivakirwe temberi kuti rivepo, uye handina kumbosarudza mumwe munhu kuti ave mutungamiri wavanhu vangu vaIsraeri. Asi zvino ndasarudza Jerusarema nokuda kweZita rangu kuti rivepo uye ndasarudza Dhavhidhi kuti atonge vanhu vangu vaIsraeri.’ “Baba vangu Dhavhidhi vaiva nazvo mumwoyo mavo kuti vavakire Zita raJehovha Mwari waIsraeri temberi.
