Ko wai hei rite mō te tangata whakaaro nui? Ko wai hoki e mōhio ana ki te tikanga o tētahi mea? Ka ai te whakaaro nui o te tangata hei mea kia tīaho tōna mata, ka puta kē anō hoki te taikaha o tōna mata. 
Ko tāku tēnei ki a koe, Puritia te kupu a te kīngi, me whakaaro anō hoki ki tā te Atua oati. 
Kei mea wawe koe ki te haere atu i tōna aroaro. Kaua anō hoki e tohe tonu ki te mea kino; ka oti hoki i a ia ngā mea katoa e pai ai ia. 
Nō te mea he mana tō te kupu a te kīngi, ā, ko wai hei mea atu ki a ia, “E aha ana koe?” 
Ko te kaipupuri o te whakahau, e kore rawa e mōhio ki te mea hē. E mōhio ana te ngākau o te whakaaro nui ki te wā, ki te tikanga. 
He wā hoki tō ngā meatanga katoa, he tikanga anō; he nui hoki nō te hē o te tangata i runga i a ia. 
Kāhore hoki ia e mōhio, ko te aha e puta ā mua, mā wai hoki e whakaatu ki a ia te pēheatanga o te putanga? 
Kāhore he tangata e whai mana ana ki te wairua, ki te pupuri i te wairua; kāhore hoki he mana ki te rā o te mate. I taua pakanga hoki e kore tētahi e tukua atu; e kore anō te kino e whakaora i te mea e tukua atu ki a ia. 
I kite ahau i tēnei katoa, i anga anō tōku ngākau ki ngā meatanga katoa e meatia ana i raro i te rā; he wā anō ka whai mana tētahi tangata ki tētahi tangata hei hē mōna. 
I kite anō ahau i reira i te hunga kino e tanumia ana, ā, i haere mai rātou ki te wāhi o te tanumanga; ā, ko te hunga i mahi i te tika i haere atu i te wāhi o te tapu, ā, warewaretia ana rātou e te pā; he horihori anō hoki tēnei. 
He kore i hohoro te whakaoti i te kupu whiu mō te mahi hē, koia i kī tonu ai ngā ngākau o ngā tama a te tangata i roto i a rātou ki te tohe ki te mahi i te kino. 
Ahakoa he rau ngā mahi hē a te tangata hara, ā, ka roa ōna rā; heoi e mōhio ana anō ahau, ka pai te tukunga iho ki te hunga e wehi ana i te Atua, e wehi nei i tōna aroaro. 
E kore ia e pai te tukunga iho ki te tangata kino, e kore anō e whakaroaina e ia ōna rā, he ātārangi nei te rite; mōna kīhai i wehi i te aroaro o te Atua. 
He horihori tēnei e mahia nei i runga i te whenua; arā he hunga tika ēnei, ā, ko te mea e pā ana ki a rātou pērā tonu i te mea e pā ana ki te mahi a te hunga kino; ā, he hunga kino ēnei, ā, ko te mea e pā ana ki a rātou pērā tonu i te mea e pā ana ki te mahi a te hunga tika; i kī ahau he horihori anō hoki tēnei. 
Kātahi ahau ka whakamoemiti ki te koa; nō te mea kāhore he mea pai ake mā te tangata i raro i te rā, ko te kai anake, ko te inu, ko te harakoa. Ko tērā hoki e mau ki a ia i roto i tōna māuiui i ngā rā o tōna oranga, i hōmai nei e te Atua ki a ia i raro i te rā. 
I tāku tukunga i tōku ngākau kia mōhio ki te whakaaro nui, kia kite i te raruraru e mahia nei i runga i te whenua; i te ao nei hoki, i te pō kāhore ōna kanohi e kite i te moe. 
Kātahi ahau ka kite i te mahi a te Atua, arā, e kore e kitea e te tangata te mahi e mahia ana i raro i te rā; ahakoa māuiui noa te tangata i te rapunga, e kore e kitea e ia. Āe rā, ahakoa mea noa te tangata whakaaro nui kia mōhiotia e ia, e kore e taea kia kitea e ia.
