Heremaia 1

6 Nā, ka mea ahau, "Auē, e Ihowā, e te Atua, nanā, kāhore e taea e ahau te kōrero, he tamariki nei hoki ahau."

7 Anō rā ko Ihowā ki ahau, "Kaua e mea, ‘He tamariki ahau.’ Nō te mea, ahakoa ko wai te hunga e ungā atu ai koe e ahau, me haere tonu koe, me kōrero hoki e koe ngā mea katoa e whakahaua e ahau ki a koe. 8 Kaua e wehi i a rātou; kei a koe hoki ahau hei whakaora i a koe," e ai tā Ihowā.
