'Wise' in the Bible

The wise! -- his eyes are in his head, and the fool in darkness is walking, and I also knew that one event happeneth with them all;

and I said in my heart, 'As it happeneth with the fool, it happeneth also with me, and why am I then more wise?' And I spake in my heart, that also this is vanity:

That there is no remembrance to the wise -- with the fool -- to the age, for that which is already, in the days that are coming is all forgotten, and how dieth the wise? with the fool!

And who knoweth whether he is wise or foolish? yet he doth rule over all my labour that I have laboured at, and that I have done wisely under the sun! this also is vanity.

For what advantage is to the wise above the fool? What to the poor who knoweth to walk before the living?

The heart of the wise is in a house of mourning, And the heart of fools in a house of mirth.

Better to hear a rebuke of a wise man, Than for a man to hear a song of fools,

Surely oppression maketh the wise mad, And a gift destroyeth the heart.

Be not over-righteous, nor show thyself too wise, why art thou desolate?

Who is as the wise? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? The wisdom of man causeth his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

Whoso is keeping a command knoweth no evil thing, and time and judgment the heart of the wise knoweth.

then I considered all the work of God, that man is not able to find out the work that hath been done under the sun, because though man labour to seek, yet he doth not find; and even though the wise man speak of knowing he is not able to find.

But all this I have laid unto my heart, so as to clear up the whole of this, that the righteous and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God, neither love nor hatred doth man know, the whole is before them.

I have turned so as to see under the sun, that not to the swift is the race, nor to the mighty the battle, nor even to the wise bread, nor even to the intelligent wealth, nor even to the skilful grace, for time and chance happen with them all.

and there hath been found in it a poor wise man, and he hath delivered the city by his wisdom, and men have not remembered that poor man!

The words of the wise in quiet are heard, More than the cry of a ruler over fools.

The heart of the wise is at his right hand, And the heart of a fool at his left.

Words of the mouth of the wise are gracious, And the lips of a fool swallow him up.

Words of the wise are as goads, and as fences planted by the masters of collections, they have been given by one shepherd.
