'Wise Man' in the Bible
The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also 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.
For what advantage has the wise man over the fool [for being worldly-wise is not the secret to happiness]? What advantage has the poor man who has learned how to walk [publicly] among the living [with men’s eyes on him; for being poor is not the secret to happiness either]?
Better to hear a rebuke of a wise man, Than for a man to hear a song of fools,
Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
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 feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both 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 counsel that is followed in silence, is far above the crying of a captain among fools.
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.
In addition to the Teacher being a wise man, he constantly taught the people knowledge; he weighed, explored, and arranged many proverbs.
