Hakuna muti waiva mubindu raBaba vedu wakafanana nawo pakunaka. 9Ndakawanakisa nematavi awo mazhinji, uye miti yose yeEdheni yaiva mubindu raBaba vedu yakava negodo nawo.”

Matavi awo akawira pamakomo nomumipata yose, mapazi awo akavata akavhunika mumihoronga yose yenyika, uye vanhu vose venyika vakabva mumumvuri wawo vakausiya. 13Padanda rawo rakawira shiri dzose dzedenga dzinogara, uye pakati pematavi awo mhuka dzose dzesango, 14kuitira kuti parege kuva nomuti unodiridzwa zvakanaka unokwirira kumusoro kana kuisa musoro wawo pakati pamakore, uye kuti parege kuva nemiti inonwa mvura inosvika pakakwirira kudaro. Nokuti yose yakapiwa kurufu, kunzvimbo dzakadzika dzenyika, pakati pavanhu, pamwe chete navaya vanoburukira kugomba.’

Ndakasvibisa Rebhanoni pamusoro pawo, uye miti yose yesango yakaoma nokuda kwawo. 16Pakunzwa kuwa kwawo ndakaita kuti ndudzi dzidedere, pandakaukandira pasi kuguva pamwe chete navaya vanoburukira kugomba. Ipapo munzvimbo dzakadzika dzenyika, miti yose yeEdheni, yakanakisisa neyakaisvonaka yeRebhanoni, yose inonwa mvura, yakanyaradzwa. 17Naiyowo yakaburukira pamwe chete nawo kuguva, kuna vaya vakaurayiwa nomunondo—ivo vaiva simba rawo, vaigara mumumvuri wawo pakati pendudzi.’
