10 Anoita minana isingagoni kunzwisisiswa,
nezvishamiso zvisingagoni kuverengwa.
11 Paanondipfuura, handigoni kumuona;
paanoenda napo handingamuoni.
12 Kana achibvuta, ndiani angamudzivisa?
Ndiani angati kwaari, ‘Unoiteiko?’
13 Mwari haadzori kutsamwa kwake;

14 “Zvino ndingakakavadzana naye seiko?
Ndingawana seiko mashoko okuita nharo naye?
15 Kunyange ndakanga ndisina mhaka, handaigona kumupindura;

17 Aizondiparadza nedutu

18 Haaizonditenderazve kuti nditure mafemo,

19 Kana zviri zvesimba, iye ane simba guru!
Uye kana zviri zvokururamisira, ndianiko angamudana kuti amutonge?
20 Kunyange dai ndisina mhosva, muromo wangu waizongondipa mhaka;

21 “Kunyange ndisina mhosva,

ndinozvidza upenyu hwangu pachangu.
22 Zvakangofanana; ndokusaka ndichiti,
‘Iye anoparadza vasina mhosva nevakaipa.’
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 oenda asina kumboona mufaro.
26 Anopfuura sezvikepe zvenhokwe,
kufanana namakondo anomhanyira nyama yawo.
27 Kana ndikati, ‘Ndichakanganwa kunyunyuta kwangu,
ndichashandura chiso changu, ndigonyemwerera,’
28 ndinongotya kutambura kwangu,
nokuti ndinoziva kuti imi hamuregi kundipa mhosva.
29 Sezvo ndatopiwa hangu mhosva,

30 Kunyange dai ndikazvishambidza nesipo

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,
34 mumwe zvake angabvise shamhu yaMwari kwandiri,
kuti kutyisa kwake kurege kundivhundutsazve.
35 Ipapo ndichataura ndisingamutyi,
asi sezvazvakaita kwandiri iye zvino, handingakwanisi.
