16 Muchavaziva nemichero yavo. Vanhu vanganhonga mazambiringa pamuti weminzwa here, kana maonde parukato?
17 Saizvozvo muti wose wakanaka unobereka michero yakanaka, muti wakaipa unobereka michero yakaipa.
18 Muti wakanaka haungabereki michero yakaipa, nemuti wakaipa haungabereki michero yakanaka.
19 Muti wose usingabereki michero yakanaka unotemwa uye ugokandwa mumoto.
20 Naizvozvo muchavaziva nemichero yavo.

22 Vazhinji pazuva iro vachati kwandiri, ‘Ishe, Ishe, ko, hatina kuprofita muzita renyuwo here, uye muzita renyu tikadzinga madhimoni, tikaita zvishamiso?’
23 Ipapo ndichavaudza pachena kuti, ‘Handina kutombokuzivai. Ibvai zvenyu pandiri, imi vaiti vezvakaipa!’
24 “Naizvozvo munhu anonzwa mashoko angu aya, uye akaaita, akafanana nemurume akachenjera uyo akavaka imba yake paruware.
25 Mvura yakanaya, nzizi dzikazara, uye dutu remhepo rakauya rikarova imba iya, asi haina kuputsika, nokuti hwaro hwayo hwaiva paruware.
