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.
