Lexicon :: Strong's H2451 - ḥāḵmâ

Then I became ^H1431 great ^H1431 and increased ^H3254 more ^H4480 than ^H4480 all ^H3605 who ^H7945 preceded ^H6440 me in Jerusalem ^H3389. My wisdom ^H2451 also ^H637 stood ^H5975 by me.

So I turned ^H6437 to consider ^H7200 wisdom ^H2451, insanity ^H1947, and foolishness ^H5531; for what ^H4100 will the man ^H120 do who ^H7945 will come ^H935 after ^H310 the king ^H4428, except what ^H834 has already ^H3528 been done ^H6213?

Do not say ^H559, “Why ^H4100 is it that the former ^H7223 days ^H3117 were better ^H2896 than ^H4480 these ^H428?”

For it is not from wisdom ^H2451 that you ask ^H7592 about ^H5921 this ^H2088.

Wisdom ^H2451 strengthens ^H5810 a wise ^H2450 person ^H2450 more ^H4480 than ^H4480 ten ^H6235 rulers ^H7989 who ^H834 are in a city ^H5892.

I tested ^H5254 all ^H3605 this ^H2090 with wisdom ^H2451, and I said ^H559, “I will be ^H2449 wise ^H2449,” but wisdom was far ^H7350 from me.

Who ^H4310 is like the wise ^H2450 person ^H2450 and who ^H4310 knows ^H3045 the meaning ^H6592 of a matter ^H1697? A person’s ^H120 wisdom ^H2451 illuminates ^H215 his face ^H6440 and makes his stern ^H5797 face ^H6440 [fn]brighten ^H8132 up ^H8132.

When ^H834 I devoted ^H5414 my [fn]mind ^H3820 to know ^H3045 wisdom ^H2451 and to see ^H7200 the business ^H6045 which ^H834 has been done ^H6213 on the earth ^H776 (even ^H1571 though ^H3588 one ^H369 should [fn]never ^H369 sleep ^{H7200 H8142 H5869} day ^H3117 or night ^H3915),

Whatever ^H3605 H834 your hand ^H3027 finds ^H4672 to do ^H6213, do ^H6213 it with all your might ^H3581; for there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 activity ^H4639, planning ^H2803, knowledge ^H1847, or wisdom ^H2451 in Sheol ^H7585 where ^H834 H8033 you are going ^H1980.

This ^H2090 too ^H1571 I saw ^H7200 as wisdom ^H2451 under ^H8478 the sun ^H8121, and [fn]it impressed ^H1419 me:

Dead ^H4194 flies ^H2070 turn ^H887 a perfumer’s ^H7543 oil ^H8081 rancid ^H887, so a little ^H4592 foolishness ^H5531 is more ^H4480 [fn]potent ^H3368 than ^H4480 wisdom ^H2451 and honor ^H3519.

“By the power ^H3581 of my hand ^H3027 and by my wisdom ^H2451 I did ^H6213 this,

Because ^H3588 I have ^H995 understanding ^H995;

And I removed ^H5493 the boundaries ^H1367 of the peoples ^H5971

And plundered ^H8154 their treasures ^H6264,

And like a powerful ^H3524 man ^H47 I brought ^H3381 down ^H3381 [fn]their inhabitants ^H3427,

The Spirit ^H7307 of the LORD ^H3068 will rest ^H5117 on Him,

The spirit ^H7307 of wisdom ^H2451 and understanding ^H998,

The spirit ^H7307 of counsel ^H6098 and strength ^H1369,

The spirit ^H7307 of knowledge ^H1847 and the fear ^H3374 of the LORD ^H3068.

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 understanding ^H998 of their men ^H995 who ^H995 have ^H995 understanding ^H995 will be concealed ^H5641.”

And He will be the [fn]stability ^H530 of your times ^H6256,

A wealth ^H2633 of salvation ^H3444, wisdom ^H2451, and knowledge ^H1847;

The fear ^H3374 of the LORD ^H3068 is his treasure ^H214.

“You felt ^H982 secure ^H982 in your wickedness ^H7451 and said ^H559,

‘No ^H369 one ^H369 sees ^H7200 me,’

Your wisdom ^H2451 and your knowledge ^H1847, [fn]they have led ^H7725 you astray ^H7725;

For you have said ^H559 in your heart ^H3820,

‘I am, and there ^H657 is ^H657 no ^H657 one ^H657 besides ^H5750 me.’

“The wise ^H2450 men ^H2450 are put ^H954 to ^H954 shame ^H954,

They are dismayed ^H2865 and caught ^H3920;

Behold ^H2009, they have rejected ^H3988 the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068,

So what ^H4100 kind of wisdom ^H2451 do they have?

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559: “Let no ^H408 wise ^H2450 man ^H2450 boast ^H1984 of his wisdom ^H2451, nor ^H408 let the mighty ^H1368 man ^H1368 boast ^H1984 of his might ^H1369, nor ^H408 a rich ^H6223 man ^H6223 boast ^H1984 of his riches ^H6239;

It is He who made ^H6213 the earth ^H776 by His power ^H3581,

Who established ^H3559 the world ^H8398 by His wisdom ^H2451;

And by His understanding ^H8394 He has stretched ^H5186 out ^H5186 the heavens ^H8064.

Concerning Edom ^H123.

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635 says ^H559:

“Is ^H369 there ^H369 no ^H369 longer ^H5750 any wisdom ^H2451 in Teman ^H8487?

Has good advice ^H6098 been ^H6 lost ^H6 by the prudent ^H995?

Has their wisdom ^H2451 decayed ^H5628?

It is He who made ^H6213 the earth ^H776 by His power ^H3581,

Who established ^H3559 the world ^H8398 by His wisdom ^H2451,

And by His understanding ^H8394 He stretched ^H5186 out ^H5186 the heavens ^H8064.

“By your wisdom ^H2451 and understanding ^H8394

You have acquired ^H6213 riches ^H2428 for yourself

And have acquired ^H6213 gold ^H2091 and silver ^H3701 for your treasuries ^H214.

Therefore ^H3651, behold ^H2009, I am going to bring ^H935 strangers ^H2114 against ^H5921 you,

The most ^H6184 ruthless ^H6184 of the nations ^H1471.

And they will draw ^H7324 their swords ^H2719

Against ^H5921 the beauty ^H3308 of your wisdom ^H2451

And profane ^H2490 your splendor ^H3314.

“You [fn]had the seal ^H2856 of [fn]perfection ^H8508,

Full ^H4392 of wisdom ^H2451 and perfect ^H3632 in beauty ^H3308.

“Your heart ^H3820 was ^H1361 haughty ^H1361 because of your beauty ^H3308;

You corrupted ^H7843 your wisdom ^H2451 by ^H5921 reason ^H5921 of ^H5921 your splendor ^H3314.

I threw ^H7993 you to the ground ^H776;

I put ^H5414 you before ^H6440 kings ^H4428,

That they may see ^H7200 you.

And as for these ^H428 four ^H702 youths ^H3206, God ^H430 gave ^H5414 them knowledge ^H4093 and intelligence ^H7919 in every ^H3605 kind of [fn]literature ^H5612 and expertise ^H2451; Daniel ^H1840 even understood ^H995 all ^H3605 kinds of visions ^H2377 and dreams ^H2472.
