Jeremiah 4:30

Pea ʻoka maumauʻi koe, ko e hā te ke fai? Kapau te ke fakakofuʻaki koe ʻae kulokula, pea kapau te ke teuteu ʻaki koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa teunga, pea kapau te ke loa ho mata ʻaki ʻae vali, ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ho fakahoihoifua koe; ʻe fehiʻa kiate koe ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻofa, pea te nau kumi hoʻo moʻui.

KO E TOHI TAPU KĀTOA

In The King James Version

And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
