[7] “Vakai, ʻoku ou tangi koeʻuhi ko e fakamālohi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi au: ʻoku ou tangi kalanga ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamaau.
[8] Kuo ne feleʻi hoku hala ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻalu, pea kuo ne ʻai ʻae fakapoʻuli ʻi hoku ngaahi hala.

[11] Kuo ne tutu foki ʻa hono houhau kiate au, pea ʻoku ne lauʻi au ko e taha ʻo hono ngaahi fili.
[12] ʻOku fakataha ʻene ngaahi kautau, ʻonau keli takatakai ʻiate au, pea nofo fakatakamilo ʻi hoku fale.
[13] “Kuo ne fakamamaʻo atu hoku kāinga ʻiate au, pea ko ʻeku ngaahi kaumeʻa ʻoku mahuʻi ʻaupito meiate au.
[14] Kuo mahuʻi hoku ngaahi kāinga ʻiate au, pea kuo fakangalongaloʻi au ʻe hoku ngaahi kāinga feʻofoʻofani.
[15] Ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi hoku fale, mo ʻeku kau kaunanga, ʻoku nau lau au ko e muli, ko e taha kehe au ʻi honau ʻao.

[27] ʻAia te u mamata ki ai maʻaku, pea ʻe vakai ki ai ʻa hoku mata, pea ʻikai ha taha kehe; “Neongo ʻae ʻauha ʻa hoku ngaahi kupuʻi sino ʻiate au.
[28] Ka ʻe lelei hoʻomou pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku tau fakatanga ai ia?’ He ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae tefito ʻoe meʻa lelei.
