How do we know that wisdom is a gift from God?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture clearly states that wisdom is given by God and cannot be obtained through human means.

Proverbs 2:6 declares, 'For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.' This firmly establishes that wisdom is divinely sourced rather than simply an intellectual achievement. Individuals throughout history, as seen in the experiences of Solomon and Job, have found that true wisdom eludes human intellect and reasoning. Instead, it requires a heart that fears the Lord and seeks Him earnestly through prayer and reliance on His providence. The acknowledgment of our limitations, coupled with petitioning God for wisdom, underscores the gracious nature of this gift.
