'Discerning' in the Bible

Choose for yourselves wise and discerning men, known to your tribes, and appoint them as your leaders.

Observe them carefully, because this will show your wisdom and discernment in the eyes of people who'll listen to all these decrees. Then they'll say: "Surely this great nation is a wise and discerning people.'

But to this very day the Lord has not given you an understanding mind, perceptive eyes, or discerning ears!
