Aranyishura ati: "Ngiye gupima Yerusalemu, ngo ndabe ubwaguke n’uburebure bwaho."

3 Mu gihe wa mumarayika yariko aravugana nanje yari agiye, uwundi mumarayika araza barahura 4 maze amubwira ati: "Iruka, ubwire urya musore uti: ‘Yerusalemu kizoba igisagara kitagira inzitiro kubera igitigiri kinini c’abantu n’ibitungwa bizokibamwo. 5 Kandi jewe ubwanje nzohabera uruzitiro rw’umuriro ruhakikuje rwo kuhakingira,’ uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze, ‘kandi nzohabera n’ubwiza bw’imbere muri co!’ "
