Targum zu Kohelet 8:1
מִ֚י כְּהֶ֣חָכָ֔ם וּמִ֥י יוֹדֵ֖עַ פֵּ֣שֶׁר דָּבָ֑ר חָכְמַ֤ת אָדָם֙ תָּאִ֣יר פָּנָ֔יו וְעֹ֥ז פָּנָ֖יו יְשֻׁנֶּֽא׃
Wer gleicht dem Weisen und wer weiß [gleich ihm] die Erklärung aller Dinge? Die Weisheit des Menschen erleuchtet sein Angesicht, und der Trotz seines Angesichts wird gemildert. —
Aramaic Targum to Ecclesiastes
Who is as a wise man, that he can stand before the wisdom of the Lord, and know the interpretations of his words, like the prophets? The wisdom of a wise man enlightens the brightness of his face among the righteous, and as for the impudent, all his ways are changed from good to bad.
