Wise, Wisdom:
a moral rather than an intellectual quality. To be "foolish" is to be godless (Psa 14:1; Jdg 19:23; 2Sa 13:13). True wisdom is a gift from God to those who ask it (Job 28:12-28; Pro 3:13-18; Rom 1:22; 16:27; 1Cr 1:17-21; 2:6-8; Jam 1:5). "Wisdom" in Pro 1:20; 8:1; 9:1-5 may be regarded not as a mere personification of the attribute of wisdom, but as a divine person, "Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God" (1Cr 1:24). In Mat 11:19 it is the personified principle of wisdom that is meant.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
