Earthly Wisdom is One Thing, and Heavenly Wisdom Is Another

Earthly Wisdom is One Thing, and Heavenly Wisdom Is Another

Earthly Things or Heavenly things? Ever describe something as “heavenly”? When it’s so good or pleasant that it seems other-worldly? There are things that are earthly and things that are heavenly.
