Zvanzi naJehovha: “Ko, rugwaro rwokurambwa kwamai venyu rwuripiko rwandakavadzinga narwo? Uye ndevapiko vandakakwereta ndikazokutengesai kwavari? Makatengeswa nokuda kwezvivi zvenyu; mai venyu vakadzingwa nokuda kwokudarika kwenyu. 
Sei ndakashaya munhu, pandakauya? Sei pasina akapindura pandakadana? Ko, ruoko rwangu rwakanga rwakapfupika here kuti ndikudzikinurei? Handina simba rokukununurai here? Nokungorayira chete ndinopwisa gungwa; ndinoshandura nzizi dzikava gwenga; hove dzadzo dzinoora nokushayiwa mvura, uye dzinofa nenyota. 
Ndinoshongedza denga nerima uye ndinoita masaga chifukidzo charo.” 
Ishe Jehovha akandipa rurimi rwakadzidziswa, kuziva shoko rinosimbisa vakarukutika. Anondimutsa mangwanani namangwanani, anomutsa nzeve yangu kuti iteerere somunhu anodzidziswa. 
Ishe Jehovha akazarura nzeve dzangu, uye handina kumumukira; handina kudzokera shure. 
Ndakapa musana wangu kuna avo vaindirova, namatama angu kuna avo vakadzura ndebvu dzangu; Handina kuvanza chiso changu pakusekwa nokupfirwa mate. 
Nokuti Ishe Jehovha anondibatsira, handizonyadziswi. Naizvozvo ndakaita kuti chiso changu chive sebwe romusarasara, uye ndinoziva kuti handizonyadziswi. 
Iye anondiruramisira ari pedyo. Ndianiko zvino achandipa mhosva? Ngatitarisanei! Ndianiko mupomeri wangu? Ngaanangane neni! 
Ndiye Ishe Jehovha anondibatsira. Ndianiko achandipa mhosva? Vose vachasakara senguo; vachadyiwa nezvipfuno. 
Ndiani pakati penyu anotya Jehovha, uye anoteerera shoko romuranda wake? Ngaafambe murima, iye asina chiedza, ngaavimbe nezita raJehovha uye avimbe naMwari wake. 
Asi zvino, imi mose munotungidza moto muchava nemwenje inopfuta, endai, mufambe muchiedza chomoto wenyu nechemwenje yamakabatidza. Izvi ndizvo zvamuchagamuchira kubva paruoko rwangu: Muchavata pasi mukurwadziwa.
