Izvi ndizvo zvinotaura Baba vedu kwamuri: Musatya kana kuvhundutswa nehondo huru iyi—kurwa uku hakusi kwenyu asi ndokwaBaba vedu. ¹⁶Mangwana burukai mundovarwisa: vari kukwira mukwidza weZizi; muchavawana pamagumo omupata, pakatarisana nerenje reJerueri. ¹⁷Hamuzofaniri kurwa kurwa uku. Mirai panzvimbo dzenyu, mirai makasimba, mugoona Baba vedu vachikuponesai, imi Judha neJerusarema. Musatya kana kuora mwoyo. Budai mundovarwisa mangwana, nokuti Baba vedu vanemi.’”

²¹Shure kwokurangana nevanhu, Jehoshafati akagadza vaimbi kuna Baba vedu kuti varumbidze ukuru hwavo hutsvene, vachifamba pamberi pehondo vachiti: “Vongai Baba vedu, nokuti rudo rwavo rwakatendeka runogara nokusingaperi.” ²²Pavakatanga kuimba nokurumbidza, Baba vedu vakaisa vavandiri kuti varwise vaAmoni, vaMoabhu, nevanhu veGomo reSeiri vakanga vachirwisa Judha, uye vakaparadzwa. ²³VaAmoni nevaMoabhu vakamukira vanhu veGomo reSeiri kuti vavaparadze nokuvapedza chose; vanhu veSeiri pavakapera, vaAmoni nevaMoabhu vakatendeukirana vakaurayana.
