4 Uchenjeri hwake hwakadzika, simba rake iguru. Ndianiko akamudzivisa akabuda asina vanga?
5 Anobvisa makomo iwo asingazivi ndokuapidigura pakutsamwa kwake kukuru.

10 Anoita minana isingagoni kuyerwa, nezvishamiso zvisingagoni kuverengwa.
11 Paanondipfuura, handigoni kumuona; paanoenda napo handingamuoni.
12 Kana achibvuta, ndiani angamudzivisa? Ndiani angati kwaari, ‘Unoiteiko?’
13 Mwari haadzori kutsamwa kwake; kunyange boka ravarwi raRahabhi rikawira patsoka dzake.
14 “Zvino ndingakakavadzana naye seiko? Ndingawana seiko mashoko okuita nharo naye?
15 Kunyange ndakanga ndisina mhaka, handaigona kumupindura; ndaingokumbira hangu nyasha kuMutongi wangu.
16 Kunyange dai ndikamudana hangu uye iye akandipindura, handitendi kuti aizonditeerera.

18 Haaizonditenderazve kuti ndiwane upenyu, asi aizondizadza namatambudziko.
19 Kana zviri zvesimba, iye ane simba! Uye kana zviri zvokururamisira, ndianiko angamudana kuti amutonge?
20 Kunyange dai ndisina mhosva, muromo wangu waizongondipa mhaka; dai zvangu ndakarurama, iwo waizongondipa mhaka.
21 “Kunyange ndakarurama, handina hangu hanya nazvo; ndinozvidza upenyu hwangu pachangu.
22 Zvakangofanana; ndokusaka ndichiti, ‘Iye anoparadza vakarurama navakaipa.’
23 Kana dambudziko rikauyisa rufu nokukurumidza, achaseka kushaya tariro kwavasina mhosva.
24 Panowira nyika mumaoko avakaipa, vatongi vayo anovapofumadza. Kana asiri iye, zvino ndianiko?
25 “Mazuva angu anokurumidza kupfuura mumhanyi; anobhururuka asina kumboona mufaro.
26 Anopfuura sezvikepe zvenhokwe, kufanana namakondo anomhanyira nyama yawo.
27 Kana ndikati, ‘Ndichakanganwa kunyunyuta kwangu, ndichashandura chiso changu, nokunyemwerera kwangu,’
28 ndinongotya kutambura kwangu, nokuti ndinoziva kuti imi hamuregi kundipa mhosva.

30 Kunyange dai ndikazvishambidza nesipo uye ndikashamba maoko angu nesoda,
31 imi muchandinyudza mugomba renhope zvokuti nenguo dzangu dzichandisema.
32 “Iye haasi munhu akafanana neni kuti ndimupindure, kuti zvimwe iye neni tisangane mudare redzimhosva.
33 Dai chete paingova nomumwe angamira pakati pedu, kuti aise ruoko rwake patiri tose,
