- WISDOM is taken for Doctrine, Learning, and Experience. For example, Job xii. 12.With the ancient is wisdom, and in length of days understanding; with him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. Job xv. 2.Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? Or, shall he explain the Cause and Original of it? Who can number the clouds Job xxxviii. 37. Psal. lviii. 5. Psal. cv. 22.in wisdom? And the Psalmist says, that the deaf Adder will not hearken to the voice of the charmers, charming never so wisely. Pharaoh set Joseph over all his House, to teach his senators wisdom. Lastly, the Scriptures give the Name of Wisdom sometimes to Magicians, Enchanters, Fortune-tellers, Southsayers, and Interpreters of Dreams.
