10 “Naizvozvo zvanzi naChangamire Ishe Jehovha, ‘Iwe zvawakakura kwazvo, ukaita kuti nhengenya yako isvike kumakore,+ mwoyo wako ukazvikwidziridza nokuda kwokureba kwako,+ 11 ndichakuisawo muruoko rwomutongi ane simba wemamwe marudzi.+ Chokwadi iye achakurwisa. Ndichakudzinga maererano nezvakaipa zvako.+ 12 Vanhu vausingazivi, ivo vadzvinyiriri vemarudzi, vachakutema, vanhu vachakusiya pamusoro pemakomo; uye mashizha ako achawira mumipata yose, mapazi ako achatyokera muhova dzose dzenyika.+ Marudzi ose epanyika achabva mumumvuri wako okusiya.+ 13 Zvisikwa zvose zvinobhururuka zvokumatenga zvichagara pahunde yako yakawa, uye mhuka dzose dzomusango dzichauya pamapazi ako;+ 14 zvokuti hapana miti iri pane mvura ingazoreba kwazvo, kana kuita kuti nhengenya dzayo dzisvike kumakore, uye kuti kurege kuzova nemiti inonwa mvura ingazoreba kuapfuura, nokuti yose zvayo ichaiswa kurufu,+ kunyika iri pasi pasi,+ iri pakati pevanakomana vevanhu, kune vaya vanoburukira mugomba.’
15 “Zvanzi naChangamire Ishe Jehovha, ‘Ndichaita kuti pave nokuchema+ pazuva raunoburukira kuSheori. Ndichafukidza mvura yakadzika nokuda kwawo, kuti ndidzivire hova dzayo uye kuti mvura zhinji idziviswe; uye ndichaita kuti Rebhanoni risvibe nokuda kwawo, uye miti yose yomusango ichasvava nokuda kwawo. 16 Panonzwika kuparara kwawo, ndichazunungusa marudzi pandinouburutsira kuSheori pamwe chete nevaya vanoburukira mugomba,+ munyika iri pasi pasi pemiti yose yeEdheni,+ iya yakanaka kwazvo neyakanaka kupfuura mimwe yose yokuRebhanoni, yose iya inonwa mvura, ichanyaradzwa.+ 17 Ivowo vaburukira kuSheori pamwe chete naye,+ kune vaya vakaurayiwa nebakatwa, uye vaya vaigara mumumvuri wake pakati pemarudzi sevana vake.’+
18 “‘Wazova akafanana naani pakukudzwa+ kwako noukuru hwako pakati pemimwe miti yomuEdheni?+ Kunyange zvakadaro uchaburutsirwa kunyika iri pasi pasi+ pamwe chete nemiti yomuEdheni. Ucharara pakati pevasina kudzingiswa pamwe chete nevaya vakaurayiwa nebakatwa. Uyu ndiye Farao neboka rose revanhu vake,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Changamire Ishe Jehovha.”
