(ʻAisea 65:17, 18; 2 Pita 3:10-13) Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Pita ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe ʻAiseá ʻe ʻi ai moʻoni ia ʻi he taimi ʻe hoko moʻoni mai ai ʻa e “fonua foʻou.” ʻOku kau ai ʻa e ngaahi fakamatala ʻokú ke maheni nai mo ia—ko hono langa ʻa e ngaahi fale pea nofoʻi kinautolu; ko hono tō ʻa e ngaahi ngoue vaine pea kai hono fuá; nofo fakataha ʻa e ulofí mo ha lami; pea ʻikai ha maumau ʻi māmani lahi. ʻI hono fakalea ʻe tahá, moʻui fuoloa, ngaahi ʻapi malu, lahi ʻaupito ʻa e meʻakaí, ngaahi ngāue fakafiemālié, pea melino ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e fanga manú pea pehē ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e fanga manú mo e tangatá.
