Zvino iye mukuru wavana makumi mashanu, wechitatu, akakwira, akapfugama namabvi ake pamberi paEriya, akakumbira, akati kwaari, “Haiwa, munhu waMwari, upenyu hwangu nohwovaranda venyu ava vana makumi mashanu, ngachive chinhu chinokosha pamberi penyu.
14Tarirai, moto wakaburuka kudenga, ukapisa vakuru vaviri vavana makumi mashanu vokutanga navanhu vavo vana makumi mashanu; naizvozvo upenyu hwangu zvino ngachive chinhu chinokosha pamberi penyu.”
15Ipapo mutumwa waJehovha akati kuna Eriya, “Buruka naye, usamutya hako.” Akasimuka, akaenda naye kuna mambo.
16Akati kwaari, “Zvanzi naJehovha, ‘Zvawakatuma nhume kundobvunza Bhaarizebhubhi, mwari weEkironi, asi hapana Mwari here pakati peIsiraeri, waungabvunza shoko rake? Naizvozvo haungaburukizve pamubhedha wawakwira, asi zvirokwazvo uchafa.’ ”
