Habakkuk 2:18

¶ “Ko e hā hono ʻaonga ʻoe fakatātā kuo tā, koeʻuhi ke tā ia ʻe he tufunga ʻo ia; pe ko e fakatātā haka, mo e akonaki loi, koeʻuhi ʻoku falala ʻae tufunga ki heʻene ngāue, ke ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi tamapua noa?

KO E TOHI TAPU KĀTOA

In The King James Version

What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?

In Context

17Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻufiʻufi koe ʻe he mālohi ʻo Lepanoni, mo e fakamālohiʻi ʻoe fanga manu, ʻaia naʻe fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu; koeʻuhi ko e toto ʻoe kakai, pea koeʻuhi ko e fakamālohi ʻi he fonua, mo e kolo, mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ai.

19Ke malaʻia kiate ia ʻoku pehē ki he ʻakau, ‘Ke ʻā;’ pe ki he maka noa, ‘Tuʻu hake; ʻe akonaki ia!’ Vakai, ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae koula, mo e siliva, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ha mānava ʻi loto ʻiate ia.
