divine wisdom
God's perfect knowledge
Divine wisdom is understanding or insight attributed to God or the gods, often contrasted with human knowledge.
In religious contexts, it refers to the perfect knowledge possessed by a deity or revealed through scripture and prophecy: Solomon prayed for divine wisdom.
The phrase can also describe exceptional insight that seems to transcend ordinary human capacity: She spoke with something approaching divine wisdom.
