'Wisdom' in the Bible

young men without blemish and handsome in appearance, skillful in all wisdom, endowed with intelligence and discernment, and quick to understand, competent to stand [in the presence of the king] and able to serve in the king’s palace. He also ordered Ashpenaz to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans.

As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all kinds of literature and wisdom; Daniel also understood all kinds of visions and dreams.

In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the [learned] magicians and enchanters (Magi) in his whole realm.

Then Daniel replied with discretion and wisdom to Arioch, the captain of the king’s bodyguard, who had gone out to execute the wise men of Babylon;

Daniel answered,“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,For wisdom and power belong to Him.

“It is He who changes the times and the seasons;He removes kings and establishes kings.He gives wisdom to the wiseAnd [greater] knowledge to those who have understanding!

“I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers,For You have given me wisdom and power;Even now You have made known to me what we requested of You,For You have made known to us [the solution to] the king’s matter.”

But as for me, this secret has not been revealed to me because my wisdom is greater than that of any other living man, but in order to make the interpretation known to the king, and so that you may understand [fully] the thoughts of your mind.

There is a man in your kingdom in whom is a spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, illumination, understanding and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods were found in him. And King Nebuchadnezzar, your father—your father the king, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans and diviners.

I have heard of you, that a spirit of the gods is in you, and that illumination, insight, and extraordinary wisdom have been found in you.

He instructed me and he talked with me and said, “O Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and wisdom and understanding.
