3 Handina kudya zvokudya zvakanaka; kunyange nyama kana waini hazvina kusvika pamuromo wangu; uye handina kana kuzora mafuta kusvikira vhiki nhatu dzapera.

5 ndakatarisa kumusoro uye hapo pamberi pangu pakanga pane murume akapfeka nguo dzomucheka, nebhanire regoridhe yakanatswa muchiuno chake.
6 Muviri wake wakanga wakaita sekirisoreti, chiso chake chichipenya semheni, meso ake aipfuta somwenje, maoko ake namakumbo ake zvichivaima sendarira yakakweshwa, uye inzwi rake rakafanana nomutinhiro wavazhinji.
7 Ini, Dhanieri, ndini ndoga chete ndakaona chiratidzo; varume vakanga vaneni havana kuchiona, asi kutyisa kwakadai kwakavavhundutsa zvokuti vakatiza vakandovanda.
