10 Kana ukapera simba panguva dzokutambudzika,

12 Asi kana mukati, “Hapana zvataiziva pamusoro paizvozvi?”
Ko, iye anoyera mwoyo haangazvioni here?
Iye anorinda upenyu hwako haangazvizivi here?
Haangaripire munhu mumwe nomumwe maererano nezvaakaita here?

uye ndiani anoziva njodzi dzavangauyisa?
Zvimwe Zvirevo zvoMuchenjeri
23 Izviwo zvirevo zvomuchenjeri:
Kuita rusaruro mukutonga hakuna kunaka:
24 Ani naani anoti kune ane mhosva, “Hauna mhosva,”
marudzi achamutuka uye ndudzi dzichamushora.
25 Asi zvichanakira vaya vanopa mhosva kune vane mhosva,

26 Mhinduro yechokwadi

27 Pedza basa rako rapanze
ugadzirire minda yako;
shure kwaizvozvo, uvake imba yako.
28 Usava chapupu chinopomera muvakidzani wako pasina mhaka,
kana kushandisa miromo yako kuti unyengere.
29 Usati, “Ndichamuitirawo zvaakandiitira;
ndicharipira munhu uya zvaakaita.”
30 Ndakapfuura napamunda wesimbe,
ndikapfuura napamunda womuzambiringa womunhu asina njere;
31 minzwa yakanga yamera pose pose,
munda wakanga wafukidzwa nesora,
uye rusvingo rwamabwe rwakanga rwakoromoka.
32 Ndakafungisisa zvandakanga ndacherechedza
ndikadzidza chidzidzo pane zvandakanga ndaona.
33 Kumbovata zvishomanana, kumbotsumwaira,
kumbofungatira maoko kuti ndizorore,
34 ipapo urombo huchauya pauri segororo
uye kushayiwa kuchauya somunhu akashonga nhumbi dzokurwa nadzo.
