Hebrew: חָכְמָה- Hok-mah
“Wisdom” (Hebrew hokma) means “masterful understanding,” “skill,” “expertise.”

"It should be remembered that hokmah, though translated 'wisdom' does not have exactly the same meaning as the English word… Hokmah is essentially a high degree of knowledge and skill in any domain… it combines a broad faculty and knowledge. Both facets are always implied by the hokmah; On can not have hokma purely as a potential or as mere inert information…the nearest English equivalent that encompasses its semantic range is 'expertise.'"
- Michael V Fox, Proverbs 1-9

"A proverb by definition is a generalization. A generalization is considered useful when it is usually true. A generalization is not a guarantee or a promise."
- Old Testament Today

"'When we try to imagine what God is like we must of necessity use that-which-is-not-God as the raw material for our minds to work on; hence whatever we visualize God to be, He is not, for we have constructed our image out of that which He has made and what He has made is not God.' If we insist upon trying to imagine Him, we end up with an idol, not made with hands but with thoughts; and an idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hands."
- A.W Towzer, Knowledge of the Holy
