Lexicon :: Strong's H2450 - ḥāḵām

For I have given ^H5414 all ^H3605 this ^H2088 to my heart ^H3820 and explain ^H952 [fn]it that righteous ^H6662 men ^H6662, wise ^H2450 men ^H2450, and their service ^H5652 are in the hand ^H3027 of God ^H430. Man ^H120 does not know ^H3045 whether ^H1571 it will be love ^H160 or ^H1571 hatred ^H8135; anything ^H3605 may be before ^H6440 him.

I again ^H7725 saw ^H7200 under ^H8478 the sun ^H8121 that the race ^H4793 is not to the swift ^H7031 and the battle ^H4421 is not to the mighty ^H1368, and neither ^H1571 H3808 is bread ^H3899 to the wise ^H2450 nor ^H3808 H1571 riches ^H6239 to the discerning ^H995 nor ^H3808 H1571 favor ^H2580 to men who know ^H3045; for time ^H6256 and misfortune ^H6294 overtake ^H7136 them all ^H3605.

In addition ^H3148 to being ^H1961 a wise ^H2450 man ^H2450, the Preacher ^H6953 also ^H5750 taught ^H3925 the people ^H5971 knowledge ^H1847; and he pondered ^H239, searched ^H2713 out ^H2713, and [fn]arranged ^H8626 many ^H7235 proverbs ^H4912.

The words ^H1697 of wise ^H2450 men ^H2450 are like goads ^H1861, and masters ^H1167 of these collections ^H627 are like [fn]well-driven ^H5193 nails ^H4548; they are given ^H5414 by one ^H259 Shepherd ^H7462.

The commander ^H8269 of fifty ^H2572 and the [fn]highly ^H5375 H6440 respected ^H5375 H6440 man,

The counselor ^H3289 and the wise ^H2450 craftsman ^H2796,

And the experienced ^H995 enchanter ^H3908.

Woe ^H1945 to those who are wise ^H2450 in their own eyes ^H5869

And understanding ^H995 in their own [fn]sight ^H5048 H6440!

The princes ^H8269 of [fn]Zoan ^H6814 are merely ^H389 ignorant ^H191 fools ^H191;

The counsel ^H6098 of Pharaoh’s ^H6547 wisest ^H2450 counselors ^H3289 has become ^H1197 [fn]senseless ^H1197.

How ^H349 can you men say ^H559 to Pharaoh ^H6547,

“I am a son ^H1121 of the wise ^H2450, a son ^H1121 of the kings ^H4428 of old ^H6924”?

Therefore ^H3651 behold ^H2009, I will once again ^H3254 deal ^H6381 marvelously ^H6381 with this ^H2088 people ^H5971, wondrously ^H6382 marvelous ^H6381;

And the wisdom ^H2451 of their wise ^H2450 men ^H2450 will perish ^H6,

And the discernment ^H998 of their discerning ^H995 men ^H995 will be hidden ^H5641.”

Yet He also ^H1571 is wise ^H2450 and will bring ^H935 about ^H935 an evil ^H7451 demise

And does not turn ^H5493 His words ^H1697 aside,

But will arise ^H6965 against ^H5921 the house ^H1004 of evildoers ^H7489

And against ^H5921 the help ^H5833 of the workers ^H6466 of iniquity ^H205.

He who is too impoverished ^H5532 to make such a contribution ^H8641

Chooses ^H977 a tree ^H6086 that does not rot ^H7537;

He seeks ^H1245 out ^H1245 for himself a wise ^H2450 craftsman ^H2796

To [fn]prepare ^H3559 a graven ^H6459 image ^H6459 that will not be shaken ^H4131.

Causing ^H6565 the [fn]omens ^H226 of boasters ^H907 to be annulled ^H6565,

And [fn]making ^H1984 fools ^H1984 out of diviners ^H7080,

Causing wise ^H2450 men ^H2450 to turn ^H7725 back ^H268,

And [fn]making ^H5528 foolishness ^H5528 out of their knowledge ^H1847,

“For My people ^H5971 are ignorant ^H191 fools ^H191,

They know ^H3045 Me not;

They are simpleminded ^H5530 children ^H1121

And have ^H995 no ^H3808 understanding ^H995.

They are wise ^H2450 to do ^H7489 evil ^H7489,

But to do ^H3190 good ^H3190 they do not know ^H3045.”

“How ^H351 can you say ^H559, ‘We are wise ^H2450,

And the law ^H8451 of Yahweh ^H3068 is with us’?

But behold ^H2009, the lying ^H8267 pen ^H5842 of the scribes ^H5608

Has made ^H6213 it into a lie ^H8267.

Who ^H4310 is the wise ^H2450 man ^H376 that may understand ^H995 this ^H2088? And who is he to whom ^H834 the mouth ^H6310 of Yahweh ^H3068 has spoken ^H1696, that he may declare ^H5046 it? Why ^H5921 H4100 has the land ^H776 perished ^H6, turned ^H5327 into ruin ^H5327 like a desert ^H4057, so ^H4480 H1097 that no ^H1097 one ^H1097 passes ^H5674 through ^H5674?

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635,

“Carefully ^H995 consider ^H995 and call ^H7121 for the mourning ^H6969 women ^H6969, that they may come ^H935;

And send ^H7971 for the [fn]skillful ^H2450 women ^H2450, that they may come ^H935!

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068, “Let not a wise ^H2450 man ^H2450 boast ^H1984 in his wisdom ^H2451, and let not the mighty ^H1368 man ^H1368 boast ^H1984 in his might ^H1369; let not a rich ^H6223 man ^H6223 boast ^H1984 in his riches ^H6239,

Who ^H4310 would not fear ^H3372 You, O King ^H4428 of the nations ^H1471?

Indeed ^H3588 it is Your due ^H2969!

For among all ^H3605 the wise ^H2450 men ^H2450 of the nations ^H1471

And in all ^H3605 their kingdoms ^H4438,

There ^H369 is ^H369 none ^H369 like ^H3644 You.

Beaten ^H7554 silver ^H3701 is brought ^H935 from Tarshish ^H8659,

And gold ^H2091 from Uphaz ^H210,

The work ^H4639 of a craftsman ^H2796 and of the hands ^H3027 of a goldsmith ^H6884;

Blue ^H8504 and purple ^H713 are their clothing ^H3830;

They are all ^H3605 the work ^H4639 of wise ^H2450 craftsmen.

Then they said ^H559, “Come ^H1980 and let us devise ^H2803 plans ^H4284 against ^H5921 Jeremiah ^H3414. Surely ^H3588 the law ^H8451 is not going to perish ^H6 from the priest ^H3548, nor ^H3808 counsel ^H6098 to the wise ^H2450 man, nor ^H3808 the divine word ^H1697 to the prophet ^H5030! Come ^H1980 on and let us strike ^H5221 at him with our tongue ^H3956, and let us give ^H7181 no ^H408 heed ^H7181 to any ^H3605 of his words ^H1697.”

“A sword ^H2719 against ^H5921 the Chaldeans ^H3778,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

“And against ^H413 the inhabitants ^H3427 of Babylon ^H894

And against ^H413 her officials ^H8269 and her wise ^H2450 men ^H2450!

“I will make ^H7937 her princes ^H8269 and her wise ^H2450 men ^H2450 drunk ^H7937,

Her governors ^H6346, her prefects ^H5461, and her mighty ^H1368 men ^H1368,

That they may sleep ^H3462 a perpetual ^H5769 sleep ^H8142 and not wake ^H3364 up,”

Declares ^H5002 the King ^H4428, whose name ^H8034 is Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635.

“The inhabitants ^H3427 of Sidon ^H6721 and Arvad ^H719 were your rowers ^H7751;

Your wise ^H2450 men ^H2450, O Tyre ^H6865, were [fn]aboard; they were your pilots ^H2259.

Behold ^H2009, you are wiser ^H2450 than ^H4480 Daniel ^H1840;

There is no ^H3605 H3808 secret ^H5640 that is ^H6004 a ^H6004 match ^H6004 for you.

The pains ^H2256 of childbirth ^H3205 come ^H935 upon him;

He is not a wise ^H2450 son ^H1121,

For [fn]it is not the time ^H6256 that he should delay ^H5975 at the opening ^H4866 H1121 of the womb ^H4866.

Whoever ^H4310 is wise ^H2450, so let him discern ^H995 these ^H428 things ^H428;

Whoever is discerning ^H995, let him know ^H3045 them.

For the ways ^H1870 of Yahweh ^H3068 are right ^H3477,

And the righteous ^H6662 will walk ^H1980 in them,

But transgressors ^H6586 will stumble ^H3782 in them.

“Will I not on that day ^H3117,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068,

“Cause the wise ^H2450 men ^H2450 to perish ^H6 from Edom ^H123

And discernment ^H8394 from the mountain ^H2022 of Esau ^H6215?
