Ndicharumbidza hunyoro hwaJehovha namabasa aJehovha anofanira kurumbidzwa, nokuda kwezvose zvatakaitirwa naJehovha nezvakanaka zvizhinji kuimba yaIsiraeri, zvaakavaitira nokuda kwenyasha dzake, uye nokuda kwohunyoro hwake. Nokuti akati, “Zvirokwazvo, ndivo vanhu vangu, vana vasingazoiti nokunyengera;” naizvozvo akava Muponesi wavo. Pakutambudzika kwavo kwose naiyewo akanga achitambudzika, mutumwa, wakavazivisa chiso chake, akavaponesa; akavadzikinura norudo rwake netsitsi dzake, akavasimudza nokuvatakura mazuva ose akare. Asi vakamumukira, nokuchemedza Mweya wake mutsvene; naizvozvo akashanduka, akava muvengi wavo, akarwa navo amene. Ipapo vanhu vake vakarangarira mazuva akare, Mosesi navanhu vake, vakati, “Aripiko iye akaisa Mweya wake mutsvene pakati pavo? Aripiko iye akafambisa ruoko rwake runokudzwa parutivi rwaMosesi, akaparadzanisa mvura zhinji pamberi pavo kuti azviwanire mukurumbira usingaperi? “Aripiko iye akavafambisa napakadzika, sebhiza murenje, vakasagumburwa?” Mweya waJehovha wakavazorodza, semombe dzinoburukira kumupata; saizvozvo makafambisa vanhu venyu, kuti muzviwanire mukurumbira mukuru-kuru. Tarirai pasi muri kudenga, muone muri pahugaro hwenyu hutsvene hunobwinya, kushingaira kwenyu namabasa enyu ane simba aripiko? Kushuva kwomwoyo wenyu netsitsi dzenyu zvadzorwa kwandiri. Nokuti muri baba vedu, kunyange Abhurahamu asingatizivi, naIsiraeri asingatiziururi; imi Jehovha muri baba vedu; Mudzikinuri wedu kubva kare nakare, ndiro zita renyu.
