lapho engathi, ‘Ungeza uze ufike lapha kodwa ungedluli; kulapha amagagasi akho azigqajayo aphelela khona?’
12 “Wakambopa mutemo kumangwanani here, kana kuratidza mambakwedza nzvimbo yawo,
Sewake wabekela ikuseni umthetho na, loba watshengisa ukusa indawo yakho
13 kuti abate mipendero yenyika, uye azungunuse vakaipa kuti vabve mairi?
ukuba kuphakamise umhlaba ngemiphetho kuthintithe ababi abakuwo?
14 Nyika inoumbika sevhu pasi pechisimbiso; mamiriro ayo anoita senguo.
Umhlaba ubumbeka isimo njengebumba ufakwe uphawu; imibala yawo ikhanye ithi bha njengelembu.

Ababi bayacitshelwa ukukhanya, lengalo yabo ephakanyisiweyo iyephulwa.
16 “Wakamboshanyira zvitubu zvegungwa here, kana kufamba kwakanyarara kwokwakadzika?

Ngesikabani isisu esizala iliqhwa na? Ngubani ozala umtshazo ovela phezulu na
30 panooma mvura ikaita sedombo, pamusoro pokwakadzika pachioma nechando?
