For the Lord gives wisdom

He ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ʻa e poto´ 

Palovepi 2 (Proverbs 2)

(v. 6) For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

(v. 6) He ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ʻa e poto: ʻoku haʻu mei hono fofonga ʻae ʻilo mo e fakakaukau. (paaki ‘a Uesi)

*Commentary: David Guzik Study notes on Genesis*

a. For the Lord gives wisdom: This explains why the fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom, and an essential aspect of the pursuit of wisdom. True wisdom is found in Him, and He gives it.

b. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding: The most significant way God gives wisdom is from the words of His mouth. His word reveals knowledge and understanding. In His word He stores up sound wisdom for the upright.

*Tohi Vete: Ngaahi lesoni ako ‘a Tevita Kuisaki ‘i he Tohi Senesi*

He ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ʻa e poto: Ko e ‘uhinga eni ‘o e hoko ‘a e ‘apasia ki he ‘Otua´, ko e makatuʻunga ‘o e poto´, pea mo e mataʻikoloa ‘o e vivili ki he poto´.  Ko e poto moʻoni´ ‘oku maʻu meiate Ia, pea ko Ia tokotaha pe ‘oku ne toe foaki´.   

ʻOku haʻu mei hono fofonga´ ʻa e ʻilo´ mo e fakakaukau´: Ko e founga mahuʻinga taha ‘oku tufa ai ‘e he ‘Otua´ ‘a e poto´, ‘oku fou ‘i he ngaahi lea ‘a hono ngutu´ (tapu mo Ia). Ko ‘Ene Folofola´ ‘oku ne tatala ‘a e ‘ilo mo e fakakaukau (fakahinohino). ‘I heʻene Folofola´, ‘oku ne tuku tauhi ai ‘a e poto moʻonia ki he angatonu´.

GOD IS . . . (KO E ‘OTUA, ‘OKU . . )

2        GOD IS SIMPLE

            Doctrine

When the Scriptures draw attention to one attribute, they invariably draw attention to another because, as noted above, it is hard to distinguish God's attributes in light of his simplicity. As soon as we talk about one, we are necessarily led to another.

2        KO E ‘OTUA´, ‘OKU LAULOTAHA

            Tokāteline

‘I he taimi ‘oku tohoaki ai kitautolu ‘e he Folofola´ ki ha foʻi ‘ulungaanga ‘e taha ‘o e ‘Otua´, ‘oku ne toe tataki kitautolu ki ha foʻi ‘ulungaanga kehe, koeʻuhi´, hangē ko ia kuo tau ‘osi lave ki ai´, ‘oku faingataʻa ke tau vaetuʻua ‘a e ngaahi ‘ulungaanga ‘o e ‘Otua´ ‘o fakatatau ki hono tuʻunga laulōtaha´. ‘I he taimi pe ‘oku tau lau ai ki ha taha ‘o hono ngaahi ‘ulungaanga´, ‘oku takina kitautolu ia ki he ‘ulungaanga ‘e taha.
