Isaya 1: 10, 16-20
| 1:10 | Teerera kuShoko raShe, imi vatungamiri vavanhu veSodhoma. Nyatsoteererai mutemo waMwari wedu, Haiwa imi vanhu veGomora. |
| 1:16 | Geza, uve wakachena, bvisai zvakaipa zvendangariro dzenyu pameso angu. Rega kuita zvisizvo. |
| 1:17 | Dzidza kuita zvakanaka. Tsvaka kutonga, tsigirai vakadzvinyirirwa, tongai nherera, kudzivirira chirikadzi. |
| 1:18 | Ipapo swederai mundipomere, Ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. Zvadaro, kana zvivi zvako zviri zvitsvuku, vachacheneswa sechando; uye kana dzakatsvuka severmillion, vachava chena samakushe amakwai. |
| 1:19 | Kana muchida, uye imi munonditeerera, ipapo muchadya zvinhu zvakanaka zvenyika. |
| 1:20 | Asi kana musingadi, munonditsamwisa, ipapo munondo uchakuparadzai. Nokuti muromo waJehovha wakataura. |

Mateu 23: 1-12
23:1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds, and to his disciples,
23:2 achiti: “The scribes and the Pharisees have sat down in the chair of Moses.
23:3 Naizvozvo, all things whatsoever that they shall say to you, observe and do. Asi chokwadi, do not choose to act according to their works. For they say, but they do not do.
23:4 For they bind up heavy and unbearable burdens, and they impose them on men’s shoulders. But they are not willing to move them with even a finger of their own.
23:5 Chokwadi, they do all their works so that they may be seen by men. For they enlarge their phylacteries and glorify their hems.
23:6 And they love the first places at feasts, nezvigaro zvekutanga mumasinagoge,
23:7 nekwaziso pamusika, and to be called Master by men.
23:8 But you must not be called Master. For One is your Master, and you are all brothers.
23:9 And do not choose to call anyone on earth your father. For One is your Father, uyo ari kudenga.
23:10 Neither should you be called teachers. For One is your Teacher, the Christ.
23:11 Whoever is greater among you shall be your minister.
23:12 But whoever has exalted himself, shall be humbled. And whoever has humbled himself, shall be exalted.
