Jeremiah 5:27

Pea ʻoku pito honau ngaahi fale ʻi he kākā, ʻo hangē ʻoku pito ʻae finaki ʻi he ngaahi manupuna: ko ia kuo nau hoko ai ke lahi, pea maʻu meʻa.

KO E TOHI TAPU KĀTOA

In The King James Version

As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.

In Context

26He ʻoku ai ʻae kau angakovi ʻi hoku kakai: ʻoku nau toitoi, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku tautau ʻae ngaahi hele; ʻoku nau ʻai ʻae tauhele, ke nau moʻua ai ʻae kau tangata.

28Kuo nau hoko ke sino, pea ngingila; ʻio, kuo nau kovi lahi hake ʻi he kau angahala: ʻoku ʻikai te nau fakamaau ʻae meʻa, ko e meʻa ʻae tamai mate; pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau fakamaau ʻae meʻa totonu ʻae masiva, ka ʻoku nau monūʻia.”
