Jeremiah 5:28

Kuo 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.”

KO E TOHI TAPU KĀTOA

In The King James Version

They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
