Hi Rich, and thanks for replying. I probably was not clear, but the quote I referenced "A person with wisdom is one who has the ability to separate between good and bad..." was a statement made by Jeff Benner not by me. I was looking for evidence which supports that assertion.
Your analysis is not far from my own... however it is the assertion by Jeff that the Hebrew term ××××" connotes one who has the ability to separate "good and bad" for which I am seeking supporting evidence. Sorry if my original post was confusing.

Just because we "KNOW" something does not mean we are wise if we fail to fully understand what we know.
