- wisely:
- Heb. out of wisdom, "The earthª also was corruptª° beforeª God,ª and the earthª was filledª° with violence.ª ... And Godª looked²° upon¹¹ the earth,ª and, behold,¹ it was corrupt;ª° for¹ all¹ fleshª had corruptedª°¹ his wayª upon¹ the earth.ª" {Gen 6:11-12} + "The LORDª looked downª° from heavenª¹ upon¹ the childrenª of men,ª to seeª° if there² were¹ any that did understand,ª° [and] seekª°¹ God.ª ... They are all¹ gone aside,ª° they are [all] togetherª become filthy:ª° [there is] none¹ that doethª° good,ª no,¹ not¹ one.ª" {Psa 14:2-3} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª Where¹ [is] the billª of your mother'sª divorcement,ª whom¹ I have put away?ª° or¹ which¹ of my creditorsª°¹ [is it] to whom¹ I have soldª° you? Behold,¹ for your iniquitiesª have ye sold²° yourselves,¹ and for your transgressionsª is your motherª put away.ª°" {Isa 50:1} + "Professing¹ themselves²° to beª° wise,ª they became fools,ª° ... Whoª knowingª° the¹ judgmentª of God,ª thatª they which commitª° such thingsª areª° worthyª of death,ª notª onlyª doª° the same,ª butªª have pleasureª° in them that doª° them." {Rom 1:22-32} + "Whatª then?ª are we betterª° [than they]? No,ª in no wise:ª forª we have before provedª° bothª Jewsª andª Gentiles,ª that they areª° allª underª sin;ª ... Nowª we knowª° thatª what things soeverª the¹ lawª saith,ª° it saithª° to them¹ who are underª the¹ law:ª thatª everyª mouthª may be stopped,ª° andª allª the¹ worldª may becomeª° guiltyª before God.ª" {Rom 3:9-19}
