Zvifananidzo zvake ndezvenhema;

hazvina mweya mazviri.

15 Hazvina maturo, zvinhu zvokutuka;

kutongwa kwazvo pakunosvika, zvose zvichaparara.

16 Iye anenge ari mugove waJakobho haana kufanana nazvo,

nokuti ndiye Muiti wezvinhu zvose,

kusanganisa naIsraeri, rudzi rwenhaka yake,

Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ndiro zita rake.

Kuparadzwa Kuri Kuuya

17 Unganidzai nhumbi dzenyu mubve munyika,

imi makakombwa.

18 Nokuti zvanzi naJehovha:

“Panguva ino ndichapotsera kure

avo vanogara munyika ino;

Ndichauyisa nhamo

pamusoro pavo kuti vagotapwa.”

19 Ndine nhamo nokuda kwokukuvara kwangu!

Ronda rangu harirapiki! Asi ndakati,

“Uku kurwara ndokwangu,

uye ndinofanira kukutakura.”

20 Tende rangu raparadzwa;

mabote aro ose adamburwa.

Vanakomana vangu vabva kwandiri uye havachipozve;

hakuna asara zvino kuti amise tende rangu

kana kumisa dumba rangu.

21 Vafudzi havana njere,

uye havabvunzi Jehovha;

saka havabudiriri

uye makwai avo ose apararira.

22 Inzwai! Chiziviso chiri kuuya,

bope guru richabva kunyika yokumusoro!

Richaita kuti maguta eJudha aparare,

agarwe namakava.

Munyengetero waJeremia

23 Haiwa Jehovha, ndinoziva kuti upenyu hwomunhu hahusi hwake;

hazvizi kumunhu kuti aruramise nzira dzake.

24 Ndirangei, Jehovha, asi chete nokururamisira,

kwete mukutsamwa kwenyu,

kuti murege kundiparadza zvachose.

25 Dururirai kutsamwa kwenyu pamusoro pendudzi

dzisingakurangarirei,

pamusoro pavanhu vasingadani kuzita renyu.

Nokuti vakadya Jakobho;

vakamudya zvachose,

uye vakaparadza nyika yake.
