To whom dost thou attach thyself, or whom art thou going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?

To whom hast thou given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom wilt thou follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?
4 Ia wai anei oe i hai aku i na olelo? Nowai ka hanu i puka ae mai ou mai la?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from thee?
5 O na mea i make, ua haalulu lakou mai lalo mai, O na wai a me kolaila poe e noho ana.

Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will hearken to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?
