- wise men:
- "And it came to pass¹ in the morningª that his spiritª was troubled;ª° and he sentª° and called²° for¹¹ all¹ the magiciansª of Egypt,ª and all¹ the wise menª thereof: and Pharaohª toldª° them¹ his dream;ª but [there was] none¹ that could interpretª° them unto Pharaoh.ª" {Gen 41:8} + "And Pharaohª saidª° unto¹ his servants,ª Can we findª° [such a one] as thisª [is], a manª in whomª the Spiritª of Godª [is]? ... And Pharaohª saidª° unto¹ Joseph,ª Forasmuchª as Godª hath shewedª° thee¹ all¹ this,¹ [there is] none¹ so discreetª° and wiseª as thou¹ [art]:" {Gen 41:38-39} + "Surely¹ the princesª of Zoanª [are] fools,ª the counselª of the wiseª counsellorsª° of Pharaohª is become brutish:ª° how¹ sayª° ye unto¹ Pharaoh,ª I¹ [am] the sonª of the wise,ª the sonª of ancientª kings?ª ... Whereª [are] they? whereª [are] thy wiseª [men]? and let them tellª° thee now,¹ and let them knowª° what¹ the LORDª of hostsª hath purposedª° upon¹ Egypt.ª" {Isa 19:11-12} + "Standª° now¹ with thine enchantments,ª and with the multitudeª of thy sorceries,ª whereinª thou hast labouredª° from thy youth;ª¹ if so be¹ thou shalt be ableª° to profit,ª° if so be¹ thou mayest prevail.ª° ... Thou art weariedª° in the multitudeª of thy counsels.ª Let now¹ the astrologers,ªª° the stargazers,ª²¹ the monthlyª prognosticators,ª° stand up,ª° and saveª° thee from [these things] that¹¹ shall comeª° upon¹ thee." {Isa 47:12-13} + "Then the kingª commandedª° to callª° the magicians,ª and the astrologers,ª and the sorcerers,ª° and the Chaldeans,ª for to shewª° the kingª his dreams.ª So they cameª° and stoodª° beforeª the king.ª" {Dan 2:2} + "Danielª answeredª° in the presence² of¹ the king,ª and said,ª° The secretª which¹ the kingª hath demandedª° cannotªª° the wiseª [men], the astrologers,ª the magicians,ª the soothsayers,ª° shewª° unto the king;ª" {Dan 2:27} + "Thenª came²° in¹ the magicians,ª the astrologers,ª the Chaldeans,ª and the soothsayers:ª° and Iª toldª° the dreamª beforeª them; but they did notª make knownª° unto me the interpretationª thereof. ... O Belteshazzar,ª masterª of the magicians,ª because¹ Iª knowª° that¹ the spiritª of the holyª godsª [is] in thee, and noªª secretª troublethª° thee, tellª° me the visionsª of my dreamª that¹ I have seen,ª° and the interpretationª thereof." {Dan 4:7-9} + "The kingª criedª° aloudª to bring²° in¹ the astrologers,ª the Chaldeans,ª and the soothsayers.ª° [And] the kingª spake,ª° and saidª° to the wiseª [men] of Babylon,ª Whosoeverªª¹ shall readª° thisª writing,ª and shewª° me the interpretationª thereof, shall be clothedª° with scarlet,ª and [have] a chainª of¹ goldª aboutª his neck,ª and shall be the third² rulerª°¹ in the kingdom.ª" {Dan 5:7} + "There isª a manª in thy kingdom,ª in whom¹ [is] the spiritª of the holyª gods;ª and in the daysª of thy fatherª lightª and understandingª and wisdom,ª like the wisdomª of the gods,ª was foundª° in him; whom the kingª Nebuchadnezzarª thy father,ª the king,ª [I say], thy father,ª madeª° masterª of the magicians,ª astrologers,ª Chaldeans,ª [and] soothsayers;ª°" {Dan 5:11} + "² Nowª asª¹ Jannesª andª Jambresª withstoodª° Moses,ª soª do²° theseª alsoª resistª° the¹ truth:ª menª of corruptª° minds,ª reprobateª concerningª the¹ faith.ª" {2Tm 3:8} + "Andª the¹ beastª was taken,ª° andª withª himª the¹ false prophetª that wroughtª° miraclesª beforeª him,ª withª whichª he deceivedª° them that had receivedª° the¹ markª of the¹ beast,ª andª them that worshippedª° his²¹ image.ª These bothª were castª° aliveª° intoª a lakeª of fireª burningª° withª brimstone.ª" {Rev 19:20}
