- WISDOM is used for Craft, Cunning, and Stratagem, and that whether good or evil. For example, it is said by Exod. i. 10.Moses, that Pharaoh dealt wisely with the Israelites, when he opposed them in Egypt. It is observed of Jonadab, the 2 Sam. xiii. 3. Job v. 13. Prov. xiv. 8.Friend of Ammon, and Nephew of David, that he was very wise, that is, very subtle and crafty. And Job says, that God taketh the wise in their own Craftiness. And Solomon says, the wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way.
