| 8. | "Nhongo ikazvikudza zvikuru kwazvo ; zvino yakati yasimba, runyanga rukuru ndokuvhunika, nyanga huru ina dzikabuda panzvimbo yarwo, dzakatarira kumhepo ina dzokudenga. |
| 9. | Zvino kuno rumwe rwadzo kwakabuda runyanga ruduku, rwakazokura kwazvo, kumativi ezasi, nokumavirazuva, nokunyika yakaisvonaka. |
| 10. | Rukakura kusvikira iko kuhondo dzokudenga, rukawisira pasi dzimwe hondo nenyeredzi, ndokutsika pamusoro pazvo. |
| 11. | Rukazvikudza kusvikira kumuchinda wehondo; rukamutorera chipiriso chinopiswa nguva dzose, nzvimbo yeimba yake tsvene ikaputswa. |
| 12. | Hondo ikamutswa kuzorwa nechipiriso chinopiswa nguva dzose nokuda kwokudarika; rukawisira pasi chokwadi, rukafara pane zvose zvarwakaita. |
| 13. | "Ipapo ndakanzwa mutsvenezve akati kuna iye akanga achitaura, `Ko izvo zvakaratidzwa zvichasvika rini, izvo zvechipiriso chinopiswa nokusingaperi nokudarika kunoparadza, kuti nzvimbo tsvene nehondo zviregwe zvichitsikwa netsoka?' |
| 14. | Akati kwandiri, `Kusvikira madekwana namangwanani ane zviuru zviviri namazana matatu; ipapo nzvimbo tsvene ichanatswa.' |
| 15. | "Zvino ini, iyeni Dhanyeri, ndakati ndaona zvandaratidzwa, ndikatsvaka kuzvinzwisisa, ndikaona mumwe akanga akanditarisa amire pamberi pangu. |
| 16. | Ndikanzwa izwi romunhu richibva pakati pemhenderekedzo dzaUrai, richidana richiti, `Gabhurieri, dudzira munhu uyu zvaakaratidzwa.' |
| 17. | Ipapo akaswedera kwandakanga ndimire; zvino akati achisvika, ndikatya, ndokuwira pasi nechiso changu; asi akati kwandiri, `Chinzwisisa, iwe Mwanakomana womunhu, nokuti zvawakaratidzwa ndezvenguva yokupedzisira.' |
| 18. | Zvino akati achitaura neni, ndikabatwa nehope kwazvo ndivete nechiso changu pasi; asi akandibata, akandimisa. |
| 19. | Akati, `Tarira, ndichakuzivisa zvichavapo panguva yokupedzisira yokutsamwa kwaJehovha, nokuti ndezvenguva yakatarwa yokupedzisira.' |
| 20. | "Gondohwe rawakaona, rakanga rine nyanga mbiri, ndiwo madzimambo avaMedhia navaPeresia. |
| 21. | Uye nhongo ine mvere ndiye mambo weGirisi; runyanga rukuru ruri pakati pameso ayo ndiye mambo wokutanga. |
| 22. | Kana ruri runyanga rwakavhunika, dzimwe ina dzakabuda panzvimbo yarwo, ushe huna huchabuda parudzi urwo, asi haungavi nesimba rarwo. |
| 23. | "Zvino panguva yokupedzisira youshe hwavo, kana vadariki vazadza chiyero chavo, mambo une chiso chine hasha, anoziva kuita namano akaipa, achamuka. |
| 24. | Simba rake richava guru, asi hazvingaitwi nesimba rake chairo; achaparadza zvinoshamisa, asi achafara pane zvose zvaanoita; achaparadza vane simba navanhu vatsvene. |
| 25. | Zvino nokungwara kwake achafambisa nhema noruoko rwake; achazvikudza mumwoyo make, nokuparadza vazhinji vakafara havo. Achamukirawo muchinda wavachinda, asi uchaputswa zvisingaitwi noruoko rwomunhu. |
| 26. | Zvawakaratidzwa zvamadekwana nezvamangwanani, zvawakaudzwa, ndezvazvokwadi; asi iwe vanza zvawaona, nokuti ndezvamazuva mazhinji anozouya. |
| 27. | "Ini Dhanyeri ndikapera simba, ndikarwara mazuva; ipapo ndikamuka, ndikabata mabasa amambo, ndikashamiswa nezvandakaratidzwa, asi kwakanga kusina munhu waizvinzwisisa. |
