16“Tarirai, ndiri kutuma vabati vehove vazhinji, ndizvo zvinotaura Baba vedu; vachavabata. Tevere ndichatuma vavhimi vazhinji, vachavavhima kubva mugomo rimwe nerimwe, nechikomo chimwe nechimwe, nomumikaha yamatombo. 17Nokuti meso angu ari panzira dzavo dzose; hadzina kuvanzika pamberi pangu, nemhosva yavo haina kuvanzika pameso angu. 18Pakutanga ndichavatsiva kaviri mhosva yavo nechivi chavo—nokuda kwokusvibisa nyika yangu nezvitunha zvezvifananidzo zvavo zvinonyangadza, nokuzadza nhaka yangu nezvinhu zvavo zvinosemesa.”
