Akachimisa mubani reDhura uye akabva ashevedza vanhu vairemekedzwa vemunyika yacho, kusanganisira Shadreki, Misheki naAbhedhinego kuti vaungane pamberi pacho.

Munhu wese asiri kuzochipfugamira achakandwa muvira remoto.’ VaHebheru vatatu ivavo vaizopfugamira chifananidzo chacho here kana kuti vaizonamata Jehovha chete?

Vamwe varume vakazviona uye vakabva vaudza mambo kuti: ‘VaHebheru vatatu avo varamba kunamata chifananidzo chenyu.’ Nebhukadhinezari akavashevedza akati kwavari: ‘Ndichakupai mumwe mukana wekuti munamate chifananidzo chacho. Kana mukaramba, ndinokukandai muvira remoto. Hapana mwari anogona kukununurai kubva kwandiri.’ Ivo vakapindura kuti: ‘Hatisi kuda mumwe mukana. Mwari wedu anogona kutinunura. Asi chero akasatinunura, haiwa mambo, hatisi kuzonamata chifananidzo chacho.’

Akatanga kutya uye akabvunza machinda ake kuti: ‘Hatina kukanda varume vatatu mumoto here? Ndiri kuona varume vana uye mumwe wavo akaita sengirozi!’
