wisdom
tu.shiy.yah denotes sound, effective wisdom in counsel and understanding, with one lament placing it amid lost inner resource.
The prevailing use presents a quality of sound or effective wisdom associated with counsel, understanding, integrity, and might. A less clear use in Job 6:13 occurs in a lament over absent inner help and driven-away resource, suggesting that the term can be placed in language of personal capacity as well.
Senses in use

Sound wisdom in counsel and understanding · dominant
The supplied form is a feminine singular absolute noun in verses that associate it with counsel, understanding, integrity, and might. In Isaiah 28:29 the APB renders a clause in which counsel is made wonderful and wisdom magnified; in Proverbs 8:14 it presents counsel, sound wisdom, understanding, and might together. Proverbs 2:7 and Proverbs 3:21 likewise place it in statements about what is treasured for the upright and kept with discretion.

Inner resource or capacity in a lament · occasional
In Job 6:13, the feminine singular absolute noun occurs in a question about whether help remains within the speaker and whether all resource has been driven away. The APB's wording supports a capacity-oriented setting, though its whole-verse translation does not isolate the term's exact English contribution.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the verses containing the term, the APB uses wording such as “wisdom,” “sound wisdom,” and “resource.” These expressions show the translation’s presentation of their clauses rather than fixed translations of the term.
