Ihāia.
31.
Auē te mate mō te hunga e haere ana ki raro, ki Īhipa ki te tiki whakauru, e okioki ana ki te hōiho; e whakawhirinaki ana ki te hāriata, nō te mea he maha, ki te kaieke hōiho anō, nō te mea he nui te kaha; kāhore ia e titiro ki te Mea Tapu o Īharaira, kāhore hoki e rapu tikanga ki a Ihowā! 
Otiia he whakaaro nui anō ia, ka tākina mai anō te kino e ia, e kore anō āna kupu e unuhia e ia; engari ka whakatika ia ki te whare o ngā kaimahi i te kino, ki ngā whakauru o ngā kaimahi i te hē. 
Nā, he tangata nei ngā Īhipiana, ehara hoki i te Atua; he kikokiko anō hoki ō rātou hōiho, ehara i te wairua. Te whakamārōkanga mai o tō Ihowā ringa, ka hinga te kaiāwhina, taka tonu atu te tangata e āwhinatia ana, ā, ka hē ngātahi rātou. 
Ko tā Ihowā kupu hoki tēnei ki ahau: “Ka rite ki te raiona, ki te kūao raiona e hāmama ana ki tāna tūpāpaku, i te mea ka kārangarangatia ngā hēpara tokomaha ki a ia, kāhore ōna wehi ki tō rātou reo, e kore anō ia e whakaririka ki tō rātou ngangau; ka pērā anō te haerenga iho o Ihowā o ngā mano ki te whawhai ki runga ki Maunga Hiona me tō reira pukepuke. 
Ka rite ki ngā manu e rere ana tā Ihowā o ngā mano tiaki i Hiruhārama, ka tiakina, ka whakaorangia, ka tika atu ia nā runga, ka araaraia e ia.” 
Tahuri ki a ia, kua hōhonu rawa nei tā koutou tutū ki a ia, e ngā tama a Īharaira. 
Ā taua rā hoki ka whakahāwea te tangata ki āna whakapakoko hiriwa, ki āna whakapakoko kōura, i hangā e ō koutou ringa mā koutou hei hara. 
“Hei reira te Ahiriana ka hinga i te hoari, ehara nā te tangata; ā, ka pau ia i te hoari, ehara i te tangata; ā, ka rere atu ia i te hoari, ka meinga hoki āna taitamariki kia utu takoha. 
Ā, ka memeha tōna kāmaka, he wehi hoki, ā, ka mataku ōna rangatira i te kara,” e ai tā Ihowā, kei Maunga Hiona nei tāna ahi, kei Hiruhārama tāna oumu.
