Ka rite hoki ia ki te manoao i te koraha, e kore hoki e kite i te putanga mai o te pai; engari ko ngā wāhi waikore o te koraha hei kāinga mōna, he whenua tote, e kore nei e nohoia (PT Heremaia 17:6). / For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited.
