TSK · Hopa 23:7

Ahakoa he tika ahau, e kore ahau e whakahoki kupu atu; engari ka inoi ahau ki toku kaiwhakawa.

Tena ra, tatou ka korerorero, e ai ta Ihowa; ahakoa i rite o koutou hara ki te mea ngangana, ka pera me te hukarere te ma; ahakoa i whero me te mea whakawhero, ka rite ki te huruhuru hipi.

¶ Tika tonu koe, e Ihowa, ina totohe ahau ki a koe; otiia kia korerotia e ahau ki a koe nga whakaritenga: He aha i whai pai ai te ara o te hunga kino? he aha i noho humarie ai te hunga katoa he nui rawa nei to ratou tinihanga?

¶ Na, kahore e tau te he inaianei ki te hunga i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.
