1 Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura akati:
2 “Muchapedza kutaura uku riiniko? Chimbofungai, ipapo tigotaurirana hedu.
3 Tinotorerweiko semombe nokurangarirwa samapenzi pamberi penyu?
4 Iyemi munozvibvamburanya mukutsamwa kwenyu, ko, nyika ingasiyiwa nokuda kwenyu here? Kana matombo angafanira kubviswa panzvimbo yawo here?
5 “Mwenje wavakaipa unodzimwa; murazvo womoto wake unopera kupisa.
6 Chiedza chiri mutende rake chinova rima; mwenje uri parutivi rwake unodzima.
7 Simba renhambwe dzake rinorukutika; mano ake pachake anomuwisira pasi.
8 Tsoka dzake dzinomuwisira mumumbure, uye anodzungaira ari mumaburi awo.
9 Musungo unomubata chitsitsinho; rugombe runomubatisisa.
10 Chishwe chakavanzwa muvhu nokuda kwake; musungo wakaradzikwa munzira yake.
11 Kutyisa kunomuvhundutsa kumativi ose, uye kunomuteverera panhambwe dzake dzose.
12 Pfumvu inomudokwairira; njodzi yakamugaririra paanowa.
13 Inodya zvikamu zveganda rake; dangwe rorufu rinopedza mitezo yake.
14 Anodzurwa kubva patende raanovimba naro agoendeswa kuna mambo anotyisa.
15 Moto unogara mutende rake; safuri inopisa inoparadzirwa pamusoro pougaro hwake.
16 Moto unogara mutende rake; uye matavi ake anosvava kumusoro.
17 Kurangarirwa kwake kunopera panyika; haana zita munyika.
18 Anobviswa pachiedza achiendeswa murima, uye anodzingwa panyika.
19 Haana mwana kana chizvarwa chinotevera pakati pavanhu vokwake, hakuna akasara kwaaimbogara.
20 Vanhu vokumavirira vakakatyamara namagumo ake; vanhu vokumabvazuva vakabatwa nokutya.
21 Zvirokwazvo, ndizvo zvakaita ugaro hwomunhu akaipa; iyoyi ndiyo nzvimbo yomunhu asingazivi Mwari.”
