Usataurazve kwandiri pamusoro peizvi. 27Kwira pamusoro pegomo rePisga, simudza meso ako kumavirira, kuchamhembe, kumaodzanyemba, nokumabvazuva, uone nameso ako, nokuti haungayambuki Jorodhani iri. 28Asi gadza Joshua, umukurudzire umusimbise, nokuti ndiye achatungamira vanhu ava kuyambuka, uye achavapa nyika yauchaona kuti ive nhaka yavo.”
