'Great' in the Bible
I spoke with my heart, saying, “Behold, I have acquired great [human] wisdom and experience, more than all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my mind has observed a wealth of [moral] wisdom and [scientific] knowledge.”
I made great works: I built houses for myself; I planted vineyards for myself;
I bought male and female slaves and had slaves born in my house. I also possessed herds and flocks larger than any who preceded me in Jerusalem.
So I became great and excelled more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me.
For there is a man who has labored with wisdom and knowledge and skill, yet gives his legacy to one who has not labored for it. This too is vanity and a great evil.
This [illustration of] wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and great it was to me:
There was a little city with few men in it and a great king came against it and besieged it and built great battlements against it.
If the temper of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your post [showing resistance], because composure and calmness prevent great offenses.
folly is set in many exalted places and in great dignity while the rich sit in humble places.
