9 Uchasvika riniko wakarara ipapo, iwe simbe?
Uchamuka riniko kubva pahope dzako?
10 Kumbovata zvishomanana, kumbotsumwaira zvishomanana,

11 Naizvozvo urombo huchauya kwauri segororo,

15 Naizvozvo njodzi ichamuwira munguva shoma shoma;

16 Pane zvinhu zvitanhatu zvakavengwa naJehovha,

19 chapupu chenhema chinodurura nhema,
uye munhu anomutsa kupesana pakati pehama.
Yambiro pamusoro poUpombwe
20 Mwanakomana wangu, chengetedza mirayiro yababa vako,
uye usarasa kudzidzisa kwamai vako.
21 Zvisungirire pamwoyo wako nokusingaperi;

22 Paunofamba zvichakutungamirira;

pauchamuka, zvichataura newe.
23 Nokuti mirayiro iyi ndiyo mwenje kwauri, dzidziso iyi ndiyo chiedza,
uye kudzora kwokurayira ndiko nzira youpenyu,
24 kunokuchengetedza pamukadzi asingazvibati,
kubva parurimi runonyengera rwomudzimai asingazvibati.
25 Usachiva runako rwake mumwoyo mako,
kana kumurega achikubata namaziso ake,
26 nokuti chifeve chinokuderedza kusvikira wafanana nechingwa,
uye mukadzi womumwe asi ari chifeve anoendesa upenyu hwako chaihwo kurufu.
27 Ko, munhu angaisa moto pamakumbo ake,

28 Ko, munhu angafamba pamazimbe anopisa,

29 Ndizvo zvakaita uyo anorara nomudzimai womumwe murume;

30 Vanhu havazvidzi mbavha
kana ikaba kuti ipedze nzara yayo painenge yoziya.
31 Asi kana akabatwa, anofanira kuripa kakapetwa kanomwe,
kunyange zvichimutorera pfuma yose yeimba yake.
32 Asi munhu anoita upombwe, anoshayiwa njere;
ani naani anozviita anozviparadza iye pachake.
33 Kurohwa nokunyadziswa ndiwo mugove wake,
uye kunyadziswa kwake hakungatongobviswi;
34 nokuti godo rinomutsa hasha dzomurume,
uye haanganzwiri tsitsi kana otsiva.
35 Haangagamuchiri muripo upi zvawo;
acharamba fufuro, kunyange rakakura sei.
