fōr -kast ´; (vb.) (חשׁב , ḥāshabh ): To forecast is both to plan or scheme beforehand and to consider or see beforehand. It is in the first sense that it is used in Daniel 11:24 , Daniel 11:25 (the King James Version) as the translation of ḥāshabh , "to think," "meditate," "devise," "plot," "He shall forecast his devices (The King James Version, margin "Hebrew think his thoughts") against the strongholds"; "They shall forecast devices against him," the Revised Version (British and American) "devise his devices"; compare Nahum 1:9 , "What do ye devise against Yahweh?" In the second sense, the word occurs in The Wisdom of Solomon 17:11 the Revised Version (British and American), "Wickedness ... always forecasteth the worst lot" (proeı́lēphen ), margin "Most authorities read hath added" (proseı́lēphen ).
