Achaparadza nenzira inoshamisa,* uye achabudirira pane zvese zvaanoita. Achaparadza vane simba, nevanhu vatsvene.+

7 Ndakabva ndanzwa murume akanga akapfeka nguo yejira, uyo aiva pamusoro pemvura yerukova achipindura. Akasimudza ruoko rwake rwerudyi neruoko rwake rweruboshwe mudenga akapika naiye* anoramba ari mupenyu nekusingaperi+ achiti: “Zvichaita nguva imwe chete yakasarudzwa, nedzimwe nguva dzakasarudzwa, nehafu yenguva.* Pachangopera kuputswa-putswa kwesimba revanhu vatsvene,+ zvinhu izvi zvichabva zvasvikawo pamagumo azvo.”
