Naʻe anga fēfē ʻa hono lava ʻe ha ʻOtua faimeesi mo faitotonu ke fai ha tuʻutuʻuni ke fakaʻauha ʻa e kakai kotoa ʻi he ngaahi senita ko ení? Naʻa ne fai ení ke maluʻi ʻa hono kakaí mei he fai meʻa fakalielia ʻa e ngaahi kakaí ni, ʻi heʻenau lotu ki honau ngaahi ʻotua ʻaitolí, he te ne ʻomi ʻe ia ʻa e meʻa pau ki ʻIsileli (v.18). Ka ko hono moʻoní, ko ʻIsileli, naʻe ʻikai ke nau fakaʻauha kakato, ʻa e kakai kovi ko ení, ʻo hangē ko honau fekauʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá. Ko ʻIsileli naʻe tuʻumaʻu hono fakamalohia kinautolu ʻe he kakai naʻe ʻikai ke nau tamateʻi, pea nau toe aʻusia ʻo lahiange ʻi he hoko ʻa e lingitotó mo e fakaʻauha ʻi he kimuʻá, he kapau naʻa nau muimui pe ki he ngaahi fakahinohino ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ʻuluaki feituʻu (Sio 7:2-10).
