Heremaia 9

23 Ko te kupu tēnei a Ihowā:

"Kaua te tangata whakaaro nui e whakamanamana ki tōna whakaaro nui,

kaua hoki te mārohirohi e whakamanamana ki tōna mārohirohi;

kaua te tangata taonga e whakamanamana ki ōna taonga;

24 engari, ko tēnei hei whakamanamananga mā te tangata whakamanamana,

arā kua whai whakaaro ia, kua mōhio ki ahau,

ko Ihowā ahau, ko te kaimahi o te mahi tohu, o te whakawā,

o te tika i runga i te whenua;

ko āku hoki ēnei e whakaahuareka ai,"

e ai tā Ihowā.
