And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Interpretation
There is a two-fold wisdom; one hid in God, which is secret, and belongs not to us; the other made known by him, and revealed to man. One day's events, and one man's affairs, have such reference to, and so hang one upon another, that He only, to whom all is open, and who sees the whole at one view, can rightly judge of every part.
