4 “Uye unofanira kuti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha:
“Vangawira pasi vakasamukazve here?
Kana mumwe akadzoka, mumwe wacho haangadzokiwo here?
5 Nei vanhu ava vasina kutendeka vemuJerusarema vachingoramba vasina kutendeka?
Havabvi paunyengeri;
Vanoramba kudzoka.+
6 Ndakateerera, uye ndakaramba ndichinzwa, asi matauriro avaiita akanga asina kunaka.
Hapana murume akapfidza zvakaipa zvake kana akati, ‘Zvino ndaitei?’+
Mumwe nemumwe anoramba achidzokera kunzira yeveruzhinji sebhiza riri kumhanyira kunorwa.
7 Shuramurove iri mudenga inoziva mwaka yayo;*
Njiva nenyenganyenga* nekadhimba,* zvinoziva nguva yazvo yekudzoka.*
Asi vanhu vangu havanzwisisi mutongo waJehovha.”’+
8 ‘Mungati sei: “Takachenjera, uye tine mutemo* waJehovha”?
Nekuti chokwadi ndechekuti chinyoreso chinonyepa*+ chevanyori chiri kushandiswa panhema dzega dzega.
Vava kutya zvikuru uye vachabatwa.
Onai! Vakaramba shoko raJehovha,
Kuchenjera kwavo kuri papi?
10 Saka ndichapa madzimai avo kune vamwe varume,
Minda yavo kune vamwe vanhu;+
Nekuti kubvira kumudiki kusvika kumukuru, mumwe nemumwe ari kuwana pfuma nekubiridzira;+
Kubvira kumuprofita kusvika kumupristi, mumwe nemumwe ari kubiridzira.+
11 Vanoedza kurapa ronda remwanasikana wevanhu vangu zvekungonyepedzera, vachiti,
“Kune runyararo! Kune runyararo!”
Iko kusina runyararo.+
12 Vanonyara here nezvinhu zvinosemesa zvavakaita?
Havatombonyari!
Havatombozivi kuti kunyara kwacho kuita sei!+
Saka vachawa pakati pevaya vakawa.
Vachagumburwa pandichavaranga,’+ anodaro Jehovha.
13 ‘Pandichavaunganidza ndichaita kuti vapere,’ ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha.
‘Hapazovi nemazambiringa achasara pamuzambiringa, pamuonde hapazovi nemaonde, uye mashizha achaoma.
Uye zvinhu zvandakavapa zvicharasika.’”
14 “Takagarireiko pano?
Ngatiunganei tipinde mumaguta akakomberedzwa nemasvingo+ tifire imomo.
Nekuti Jehovha Mwari wedu achatiparadza,
Uye ari kutipa mvura ine muchetura kuti tinwe,+
Nemhaka yekuti takatadzira Jehovha.
15 Taiva netariro yekuti pachava nerunyararo, asi hapana chakanaka chakauya,
Netariro yekuporeswa, asi kune zvinotyisa!+
16 KuDhani kuri kunzwika kupfepfedza kwemabhiza ake.
Kuchema kwemabhiza ake makono
Kwazunungusa nyika yese.
Anopinda oparadza nyika nezvese zviri mairi,
Guta nevagari varo.”
17 “Nekuti ndiri kutuma nyoka kwamuri,
Nyoka dzine uturu dzisingagoni kuitirwa mashiripiti,
Uye dzichakurumai,” ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha.
18 Shungu dzangu hadzirapiki;
Mwoyo wangu uri kurwara.
19 Pane inzwi rekuchemera kubatsirwa riri kubva kunyika iri kure,
Riri kubva kumwanasikana wevanhu vangu richiti:
“Jehovha haasi muZiyoni here?
Kana kuti mambo waro haasi imomo here?”
“Vakandigumburirei nemifananidzo yavo yakavezwa,
Navanamwari vavo vekune dzimwe nyika vasina zvavanobatsira?”
20 “Kukohwa kwapfuura, zhizha rapera,
Asi isu hatina kuponeswa!”
Ndavhunduka.
22 MuGiriyedhi hamuna bharisamu* here?+
Kana kuti hamuna murapi* here?+
Nei mwanasikana wevanhu vangu asina kupora?+
