TSK · Heremaia 5:21

I nga whakamatauranga nunui i kite ra ou kanohi, i nga tohu, i aua merekara nunui:

Ko ta koutou utu ianei tenei ki a Ihowa, e te iwi kuware, e kore nei e mohio? Ehara ianei ia i tou matua, nana koe i hoko? Nana koe i hanga, nana hoki koe i whakau?

Na, inaianei, i ta koutou meatanga i enei mea katoa, e ai ta Ihowa, i korero ano ahau ki a koutou; maranga wawe ana ahau, korero ana, heoi kihai koutou i rongo mai; karanga ana ahau ki a koutou, a kihai i utua taku;

Huihuia ratou, he poauau rawa, he wairangi: ko ta nga whakapakoko e whakaako ai, he rakau tonu ia.

E rite ana hoki a Eparima ki te kukupa wairangi, kahore nei ona ngakau: e karanga ana ratou ki Ihipa, e haere ana ratou ki Ahiria.

He kanohi nei o koutou, a kahore e kite? he taringa nei o koutou, a kahore e rongo? kahore e mahara?

I mea nei, Haere ki tenei iwi, mea atu, Rongo noa koutou, e kore e matau; titiro noa koutou, e kore e kite:
