It is used to describe a sense of security or assurance that may not be well-founded, highlighting the contrast between true wisdom and foolishness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of wisdom and folly was central to understanding one's relationship with God and the world. Wisdom was seen as aligning oneself with God's will and understanding, while folly was often associated with self-reliance and misplaced trust. The use of "kislah" reflects this dichotomy, emphasizing the importance of placing one's confidence in God rather than in human strength or understanding.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3688.htm">kasal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>stupidity, confidence<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>confidence (1), folly (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">כִּסְלָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> (Gie<sup>ZAW i, 1881, 304</sup>). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>stupidity</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/85-9.htm">Psalm 85:9</a> (but read <font class="hebrew2">לִבָּם לֹה</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> Bae Che). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>confidence</b></font>, suffix <font class="hebrew2">כִּסְלָתֶ֑ךָ</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/4-6.htm">Job 4:6</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>confidence, folly <p>Feminine of <a href="/hebrew/3689.htm">kecel</a>;
