'Wisdom' in the Bible
With your [own] wisdom and with your [own] understandingYou have acquired your riches and powerAnd have brought gold and silver into your treasuries;
By your great wisdom and by your tradeYou have increased your riches and power,And your heart is proud and arrogant because of your wealth;
Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers (Babylonians) upon you,The most ruthless and violent of the nations.And they will draw their swordsAgainst the beauty of your wisdom [O Tyre]And defile your splendor.
“Son of man, take up a dirge (funeral poem to be sung) for the king of Tyre and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God,“You had the full measure of perfection and the finishing touch [of completeness],Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
“Your heart was proud and arrogant because of your beauty;You destroyed your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.I cast you to the ground;I lay you before kings,That they might look at you.
