19.

akatumidza nzvimbo iyoyo zita rinonzi Bheteri, asi zita reguta pakutanga rainzi Ruzi.

20.

Ipapo Jakobho akapika mhiko achiti, "Kana Mwari akava neni, akandichengeta panzira ya­ndinoenda, akandipa zvokudya, ndidye, nezvokufuka, ndifuke;

21.

ndikadzokera­zve norugare kuimba yababa vangu, Jehovha achava Mwari wangu;

22.

neiri ibwe, randakamisa rikava shongwe, ri­chava imba yaMwari; nezvinhu zvose zvamuchandipa, zvirokwazvo ndichaku­pai chegumi chazvo."
