Mapisarema 52:1-9

Ko, unozvikudzirei pane zvakaipa, iwe murume wesimba? Unozvikudzirei zuva rose, iyewe unonyadzisa pamberi paMwari? Rurimi rwako runofarira zvokuparadza; rwakaita sechisvo chakarodzwa, iyewe unogara uchingonyengera. Unoda zvakaipa pachinzvimbo chezvakanaka, kureva nhema pachinzvimbo chokutaura chokwadi. Sera Unoda shoko rimwe nerimwe rinoparadza, iwe rurimi runonyengera! Zvirokwazvo Mwari achakuburutsira kukuparadzwa kusingaperi: Achakubvuta agokubvisa mutende rako; achakudzura kubva munyika yavapenyu. Sera Vakarurama vachazviona uye vachatya; vachamuseka vachiti, “Houno zvino munhu asina kuita Mwari nhare yake, asi aivimba nepfuma yake zhinji, uye aisimba nokuparadza vamwe!” Asi ini ndakaita somuti womuorivhi unokura zvakanaka mumba maMwari; ndinovimba norudo rusingaperi rwaMwari, nokusingaperi-peri. Ndichakurumbidzai, nokusingaperi nokuda kwezvamakaita; ndichavimba nezita renyu, nokuti zita renyu rakanaka. Ndichakurumbidzai pamberi pavatsvene venyu.
