Erihu akaenderera mberi akati: “Ndiitirei mwoyo murefu zvishoma, uye ndichakuratidza imi, nokuti pachine mashoko okutaura achimiririra Mwari. Ndichatora ruzivo rwangu kubva kure, uye ndichapa kururama kuMusiki wangu. Nokuti zvechokwadi mashoko angu haasi enhema; mumwe akakwana muruzivo anewe. Tarira, Mwari ane simba, asi haashori munhu; ane simba guru rokunzwisisa. Haaregi vakaipa vachirarama, asi anoruramisira vanotambudzika. Haabvisi meso ake pane vakarurama; anovagarisa pamwe chete namadzimambo pazvigaro zvawo zvoushe nokusingaperi, uye vanokwidziridzwa. Uye kana vakasungwa nengetani, vakabatwa zvakasimba netambo dzokutambudzika, ipapo anovazivisa mabasa avo nokumukira kwavo, kuti vakazvikudza. Anozarura nzeve dzavo kuti dzinzwe kurayira, uye anorayira kuti vadzoke kubva pazvivi. Kana vakateerera uye vakamushumira, vanopedza mazuva avo mukubudirira, uye makore avo anopfuura nomufaro. Asi kana vasingateereri, vanoparara nomunondo, uye vanofa vasina ruzivo. Vane mwoyo usingadi Mwari vanounganidza kutsamwa; havachemi kuti vabatsirwe paanovasunga. Mweya wavo unofa vachiri vaduku, uye upenyu hwavo hunoperera pakati pezvifeve zvetembere. Anorwira vanotambudzika nokutambudzika kwavo, uye anozarura nzeve dzavo nenhamo. Aizokukweverawo kubva pamuromo wenhamo achikuisa kunzvimbo yakafara, yakazaruka isina kumanikana, uye tafura yako yaizogadzirirwa nezvakakora. Asi uzere nomutongo wakafanira vakaipa; mutongo nokururamisira zvakubata. Chenjera kuti hasha dzirege kukunyengera kuti usvote, uye usarega rudzikinuro rukuru ruchikutsausa. Kuchema kwako kuchikumbira rubatsiro kungakudzivirira here panhamo, kana masimba ako ose? Usashuvira usiku, apo vanhu vanobviswa panzvimbo yavo. Chenjera; usatendeukira kuchivi, nokuti wasarudza ichi pane kutambudzika. Tarira, Mwari akakwirira musimba rake; ndiani mudzidzisi akafanana naye?

“Ndiani akamutemera nzira yake, kana ndiani angati, ‘Waita zvakaipa’? Rangarira kukudza basa rake, iro vanhu vakarumbidza munziyo. Vanhu vose vakaritarira; vanhu vanoriona vari kure. Tarira, Mwari mukuru, uye hatimuzivi; kuwanda kwamakore ake hakunzverwi. Nokuti anokwevera madonhwe emvura kumusoro; anodonha semvura achibva mumhute yake, ayo makore anodurura uye anodonhedza zvakawanda pamusoro pavanhu. Ko, pane anganzwisisa kupararira kwamakore here, nokutinhira kwetende rake? Tarira, anoparadzira mheni yake kumativi ake ose, uye anofukidza makadzika egungwa. Nokuti nazvo anotonga marudzi; anopa zvokudya zvizhinji. Anozadza maoko ake nemheni, uye anoirayira kuti irove pane chinangwa. Kutinhira kwayo kunotaura nezvake; kunyange mombe dzinoziva kuti dutu riri kuuya.”
