"Baba venyu vakatitakudza joko rinogozha; naizvozvo zvino imi chirerusai basa rababa venyu rakanga richigozha, nejoko ravo rinorema ravakaisa pamusoro pedu, tigokushumirai.

5.

6.

papo mambo Rehobhoamu akarangana navakuru, vaimira pamberi paSoromoni baba vake, vachiri vapenyu, akati, "Mungandipa zano reiko, randingapindura vanhu ava naro?"

7.

Ivo vakataura kwaari, vakati, "Kana mukaitira vanhu ava nomoyo wakanaka, nokuvafadza, nokutaura mashoko akanaka kwavari, ipapo vachava varanda venyu nokusingaperi."

8.

Asi iye wakaramba zano ravakuru, ravakamupa, akarangana namajaya ezero rake, akanga achimira pamberi pake.

11.

Zvino, baba vangu zvavakakutakudzai joko rinorema, ini ndichawedzera pajoko renyu; baba vangu vaikurovai neshamhu, asi ini ndichakurovai nezvinyavada.' "
