“Waiata, e te pākoko, e koe kāhore anō nei i whānau; kia pakaru mai te waiata, hāmama, e koe kāhore anō kia whakamamae! He tini hoki ngā tamariki a te noho kau i ngā tamariki a te mea whai hoa,” 
“Kia rahi atu te tūranga mō tōu tēneti; kia mārō hoki ngā uhi o ōu nohoanga; aua e kaiponuhia; kia roa ōu taura, kia ū hoki ōu poupou. 
Ka tohatoha noa atu hoki koe ki matau, ki mauī; ā, ka riro ngā tauiwi i ōu uri; mā rātou anō ka nohoia ai ngā pā kua ururuatia. 
“Kaua e wehi; tā te mea e kore koe e whakamā; kaua anō e numinumi, tā te mea e kore koe e whakamā; nō te mea ka wareware i a koe te whakamā o tōu tamāhinetanga; ā, heoi anō maharatanga ki te ingoa kino o tōu pouarutanga. 
Ko tōu Kaihanga tāu tahu, ko Ihowā o ngā mano tōna ingoa; ko te Mea Tapu hoki o Īharaira tōu kaiwhakaora, ko te Atua o te whenua katoa ka huaina ki a ia. 
Nō te mea kua karanga a Ihowā ki a koe, ānō he wahine kua whakarērea, kua pōuri te ngākau, ānō he hoa wahine o te taitamarikitanga, i te mea kua mahue, e ai tā tōu Atua. 
He iti te wāhi i mahue ai koe i ahau; he nui ia ngā atawhainga e kohikohi ai ahau i a koe. 
He riri puhake, i huna ahau i tōku kanohi i a koe, he wāhi iti; he aroha mau tonu ia tōku e aroha ai ki a koe,” e ai tā Ihowā, tā tōu kaiwhakaora. 
“He pēnei hoki tēnei ki ahau me ngā wai i a Noa, i ahau i oati rā, e kore e hurihia anō te whenua e ngā wai i a Noa. Waihoki ka oati nei ahau, e kore ahau e riri ki a koe, e kore anō e whakatūpehupehu ki a koe. 
Ko ngā maunga hoki ka riro kē, ko ngā pukepuke ka nekehia atu, tēnā ko tōku aroha e kore e rerekē i a koe, e kore anō e nekehia kētia te kawenata e mau ai taku rongo,” e ai tā Ihowā e atawhai nei i a koe. 
“E koe, kua whakawhiua nei, kua pūhia nei e te āwhā, kāhore anō i whakamārietia, nanā, māku ōu kōhatu e whakatakoto, he pai hoki te kakano; ka hangā anō e ahau ōu tūranga ki te hāpira. 
Ka hangā anō e ahau ōu tihi ki te rupi, ōu tatau ki te karapanaka, ōu rohe katoa anō ki ngā kōhatu whakapaipai. 
Ā, ka whakaakona e Ihowā āu tamariki katoa; ka nui hoki te rangimārie ki āu tamariki. 
Ka whakatūria koe ki runga ki te tika; ka whakamataratia atu i a koe te tūkino; e kore hoki koe e wehi; e kore anō te pāwera e tata ki a koe. 
Nanā, huihui noa rātou, ehara ia i te mea nāku; ko te tangata e huihui ana ki te whawhai ki a koe ka papahoro, he mea mōu. 
“Nanā, nāku i hanga te parakimete e pupuhi nei i te ahi waro, e mau nei i te mea hei mahi māna; nāku hoki te kaihuna i hanga hei whakamōtī. 
E kore tētahi patu e hangā ana mōu e mārohirohi; ko ngā arero katoa e whakatika mai ana ki a koe ki te whakawā, māu anō e whakahē. Ko tā ngā pononga a Ihowā tēnei, tuku iho, tuku iho; nāku hoki rātou i tika ai,”
