the wisdom Dr. Lightfoot well observes , "that ףןציב [Strong's G4678] , פןץ [Strong's G5120] , וןץ [Strong's G2316] , the wisdom of God , is not to be understood of that wisdom which had God for its author , but of that wisdom which had God for its object. There was , among the heathen , ףןציב [Strong's G4678] , פחע צץףושע , wisdom about natural things , that is philosophy; and ףןציב [Strong's G4678] , פןץ [Strong's G5120] , וןץ [Strong's G2316] , wisdom about God , that is , divinity. But the world , in its divinity , could not , by wisdom , know God." The wisest of the heathen had no just and correct views of the Divine nature; of which the works of Cicero and Lucretius are incontestable proofs.
