12Ko, mwoyo wako wakurasireiko,

17“Nditeerere ndigokutsanangurira;

18zvakataurwa navanhu vakachenjera,
vasingavanzi chinhu chavakagamuchira kubva kumadzibaba avo,
19ivo voga vakapiwa nyika
pasina mutorwa akapfuura napakati pavo:
20Murume akaipa anotambudzika nokurwadziwa pamazuva ake ose,
makore ose outsinye akachengeterwa iye.
21Maungira anotyisa anozadza nzeve dzake;
pazvinenge zvaita sezvakanaka, vapambi vanomurwisa.
22Anorasikirwa netariro yokupunyuka parima;
munondo ndiwo waakatarirwa.
23Anofamba-famba achiita sechokudya zvamagora;
anoziva kuti zuva rerima raswedera.
24Kutambudzika nokurwadziwa zvinomuzadza nokutya;
zvinomukunda, samambo agadzirira kurwisa,
25nokuti anokungira Mwari chibhakera chake
uye anozvikudza pamusoro paWamasimba Ose,
26achimhanyira kwaari asingatyi

27“Kunyange chiso chake chakafukidzwa namafuta
uye chiuno chake chakafuta nenyama,
28iye achagara mumaguta akaparadzwa
nomudzimba dzisingagarwi nomunhu,
dzimba dzokoromoka kuva marara.
29Haachazovazve mupfumi uye pfuma yake haingagari,
kana nepfuma yake haingazadzi nyika.
30Haangapunyuki rima;
murazvo uchasvavisa mabukira ake,
uye kufema kwomuromo waMwari kuchamurasira kure.
31Ngaarege kuzvinyengera nokuvimba nezvisina maturo,
nokuti haana chaachawana pazviri.
32Acharipirwa zvakazara nguva yake isati yasvika,
uye matavi ake haangawandi.
33Achafanana nomuzambiringa wabvisirwa mazambiringa asati aibva,
kufanana nomuti womuorivhi wodonhedza maruva awo.
34Nokuti ungano yavasingadi Mwari ichashaya zvibereko,
uye moto uchaparadza matende avaya vanofarira fufuro.
35Vanobata mimba yokutambudzika vagozvara zvakaipa;
dumbu ravo rinogadzira kunyengera.”
