1I kōrero anō a Erihu, i mea:2“Ki tōu whakaaro he tika tēnei māu,e mea ana rānei koe, ‘Nui atu tōku tika i tō te Atua?’3I mea ai koe, ‘He aha te rawa ki a koe?’ā, ‘He aha te painga ki ahau, hira ake i te painga me i hara ahau?’4“Māku e whakahoki he kupu ki a koe,ki a koutou ko ōu hoa.5Kia matatau atu tāu titiro ki ngā rangi;mātakitakina atu hoki ngā kapua e tiketike ake nā i a koe.6Mehemea kua hara koe, ka ahatia ia e tāu mahi?Ā, ki te whakanuia āu mahi tutū, e aha ana rānei koe ki a ia?7Ki te mea he tika tōu, ko te aha e hoatu ana e koe ki a ia?Ko te aha rānei a tōu ringa e riro ana i a ia?8Ka mamae pea tētahi tangata pēnā i a koe nā i tōu kino;ka whai painga pea ki tētahi tama a te tangata tōu tika.9“He maha nō ngā tūkinotanga i tangi ai rātou;nā te ringaringa o te hunga nui i auē ai rātou kia āwhinatia.10Kāhore ia tētahi e mea ana, ‘Kei hea tōku Kaihanga, te Atua,e hōmai nei i ngā waiata i te pō?11E nui atu nei tāna whakaako ki a tātou i tāna ki ngā kararehe o te whenua,nāna hoki i nui ai ō tātou mahara i o ngā manu o te rangi?’12Karanga ana rātou i reira, heoi kāhore he kupu e whakahokia mai,he mea nā te whakapehapeha o te hunga kino.13He pono e kore te tekateka noa e whakarangona mai e te Atua,e kore anō hoki e tirohia mai e te Kaha Rawa.14Ka iti rawa iho ki te mea koe,kāhore koe e kite i a ia,kei tōna aroaro te whakarite whakawā;nā, ka tatari koe ki a ia!15Nā, kīhai nei ia i tae mai i runga i tōna riri,kīhai anō hoki i aro nui mai ki te whakamanamana;16koia i puaki ai te māngai o Hopa, he mea horihori kau nei;kāhore he mātauranga o ngā kupu e whakamahatia nei e ia.”
