29 Haachazovazve mupfumi uye pfuma yake haingagari,
kana nepfuma yake haingazadzi nyika.
30 Haangapunyuki rima;

uye kufema kwomuromo waMwari kuchamurasira kure.
31 Ngaarege kuzvinyengera nokuvimba nezvisina maturo,

33 Achafanana nomuzambiringa wabvisirwa mazambiringa asati aibva,
kufanana nomuti womuorivhi wodonhedza maruva awo.
34 Nokuti ungano yavasingadi Mwari ichashaya zvibereko,
uye moto uchaparadza matende avaya vanofarira fufuro.
35 Vanobata mimba yokutambudzika vagozvara zvakaipa;
