wise: having the practical good sense and skill to live, work, and act well
At its core this word describes a person who has the skill of living well. The same word covers a craftsman whose hands know their trade, a counselor who reads a situation rightly, and the godly person of the wisdom books who has learned how life actually works and acts accordingly. The thread running through all of them is competence applied to real life, not abstract cleverness. Hebrew did not split practical skill from moral wisdom into two words; one word held both, because both are a kind of mastery.
The wisdom books (Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes) make this the word for the ideal person: someone who fears God, takes correction, holds the tongue, and chooses the long view over the quick reward. It is the steady opposite of the fool, and the two are set against each other on nearly every page of Proverbs.
The same competence can be turned to skilled work, as with the artisans who built the tabernacle, and it can name a recognized class of professionals, the court counselors and astrologers whose job was expert guidance. When that skill serves a selfish or godless end, the same word shades toward mere cleverness or cunning, which is why context, not the word itself, tells you whether the wisdom is admirable.
