19. γέγραπται γάρ. In Isa 29:14.

τὴν σύνεσιν τῶν συνετῶν. The distinction between σύνεσις and σοφία is said by Cremer in his Lexicon to be that between reflective and productive thinking. Rather perhaps, between reflection and intuition. For σύνεσις (from σύνειμι or συνίημι) involves a process. Aristotle (Nic. Eth. VI. 10) distinguishes σύνεσις also from φρόνησις, the former being intellectual, the latter practical. See also Nic. Eth. VI. 11.
