Mapisarema 37:23-40

Kana Jehovha achifarira nzira yomunhu, anosimbisa mafambiro ake; kunyange akagumburwa, haangawi, nokuti Jehovha anomutsigira noruoko rwake. Ndakanga ndiri muduku uye zvino ndakwegura, asi handina kumboona vakarurama vachiraswa, kana vana vavo vachipemha chingwa. Vanogara vachingopa vamwe, uye vachikweretesa pasina muripo; vana vavo vacharopafadzwa. Dzoka pane zvakaipa ugoita zvakanaka; ipapo uchagara panyika nokusingaperi. Nokuti Jehovha anoda vanoruramisira uye haangazosiyi vanhu vake vakatendeka. Vachadzivirirwa nokusingaperi; asi vana vowakaipa vachaparadzwa; vakarurama vachagara nhaka yenyika uye vachagara mairi nokusingaperi. Muromo womunhu akarurama unotaura uchenjeri, uye rurimi rwake runotaura kururamisira. Murayiro waMwari wake uri pamwoyo wake; tsoka dzake hadzitedzemuki. Vakaipa vanovandira vakarurama, vachitsvaka upenyu hwavo chaihwo; asi Jehovha haangavasiyi vari musimba ravo, kana kuvarega vachipomerwa kana vamira pakutongwa. Rindira Jehovha, uye uchengete nzira yake. Achakusimudzira kuti ugare nhaka yenyika; kana vakaipa voparadzwa, iwe uchazviona. Ndakaona munhu akaipa uye ano utsinye achibudirira somuti wakasvibira pavhu romunyika yawo, asi nokukurumidza akapfuura uye akasazovapozve; kunyange ndakamutsvaka, haana kuzowanikwa. Cherechedza asina mhosva, ongorora akarurama; ane ramangwana rakanaka munhu worugare. Asi vatadzi vose vachaparadzwa; ramangwana rowakaipa richagurwa. Ruponeso rwavakarurama runobva kuna Jehovha; ndiye nhare yavo panguva yamatambudziko. Jehovha anovabatsira uye anovanunura; anovanunura kubva kuna vakaipa uye anovaponesa, nokuti vanovanda maari.
