'Wise Man' in the Bible

Now therefore hold him not guiltless, for thou art a wise man; and thou wilt know what thou oughtest to do unto him, and thou shalt bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood.

Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?

But as for you all, come on now again; And I shall not find a wise man among you.

Men of understanding will say unto me, Yea, every wise man that heareth me:

That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels:

Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil; But the fool beareth himself insolently, and is confident.

The wrath of a king is as messengers of death; But a wise man will pacify it.

A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, And bringeth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

A wise man is strong; Yea, a man of knowledge increaseth might,

If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man, Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.

A fool uttereth all his anger; But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it.

The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walketh in darkness: and yet I perceived that one event happeneth to them all.

For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. And how doth the wise man die even as the fool!

And who knoweth whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet will he have rule over all my labor wherein I have labored, and wherein I have showed myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

Surely extortion maketh the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroyeth the understanding.

Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city.

Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man's heart discerneth time and judgment:

then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however much a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea moreover, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.

Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken, that he may declare it? wherefore is the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that none passeth through?

Thus saith Jehovah, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches;

Thus saith Jehovah: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock:
