3 Jeremiya akati kwavari: “Itii kuna Zedhekiya,
4 ‘Zvanzi naJehovha Mwari waIsraeri: “Tarirai ndichaita kuti zvombo zvehondo zviri muruoko rwenyu zvikudzokerei, zvamuri kurwisa nazvo mambo weBhabhironi,+ nevaKadheya+ vari kukukombai vari kunze kworusvingo, uye ndichazviunganidza pakati peguta rino.+

8 “Uti kuvanhu ava, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: “Tarirai ndiri kuisa nzira youpenyu nenzira yorufu pamberi penyu.+
9 Munhu anoramba akagara muguta rino achaurayiwa nebakatwa, nenzara uye nedenda;+ asi anobuda uye anoenda kuvaKadheya vari kukukombai acharamba achirarama, mweya wake uchava wake sezvakapambwa zvake.”’+
10 “‘“Nokuti ndatarira guta rino ndakatsamwa kuti ndiriunzire dambudziko, kwete zvakanaka,”+ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Richaiswa muruoko rwamambo weBhabhironi,+ uye acharipisa nomoto.”+
11 “‘Zvino kana iri imba yamambo waJudha, inzwai shoko raJehovha, haiwa imi varume.+
12 Haiwa imi imba yaDhavhidhi,+ zvanzi naJehovha: “Mangwanani oga oga+ ipai mutongo muchiruramisira,+ nunurai ari kubirwa paruoko rweanobiridzira,+ kuti hasha dzangu dzirege kubuda somoto+ dzikapisa uye dzikasava neanodzidzima nokuda kwokuipa kwezvamakaita.”’+
13 “‘Tarira ndiri kukurwisa, haiwa iwe mukadzi anogara mubani,+ haiwa iwe dombo renyika yakati sandara,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. ‘Asi imi muri kuti: “Ndiani achauya kuzotirwisa? Ndiani achapinda matinogara?”+
14 Ndichaitawo kuti muzvidavirire+ maererano nezvibereko zvezvamakaita,’+ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. ‘Ndichabatidza moto musango rake,+ uye iwo uchaparadza zvinhu zvose zvakamupoteredza.’”+
