Zvanzi naJehovha, iye akakuita, akauumba mudumbu uye iye achakubatsira: Usatya, iwe Jakobho, muranda wangu, Jeshuruni, wandakasarudza. Nokuti ndichadurura mvura panyika ine nyota, nehova pamusoro pevhu rakaoma; ndichadurura Mweya wangu pamusoro porudzi rwako, nemikomborero yangu pamusoro pavana vako. Vachamera souswa mudekete, semiti yemikonachando pahova dzinoyerera. Mumwe achati, ‘Ndiri waJehovha’; mumwe achazvitumidza nezita raJakobho; zvakadaro, mumwe achanyora muruoko rwake achiti, ‘Ndiri waJehovha,’ uye achatora zita rokuti Israeri. “Zvanzi naJehovha, Mambo waIsraeri noMudzikinuri, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose: Ndini wokutanga uye ndini wokupedzisira; kunze kwangu hakuna Mwari.

Musadedera, musatya. Handina kuparidza izvi here uye ndikazvitaura kare kare? Imi muri zvapupu zvangu. Kune mumwe Mwari kunze kwangu here? Kwete, hakuna rimwe Dombo; hakuna rimwe randinoziva.”
