Voice of wisdom making nothing clear, perhaps? (6)

I believe the answer is:

oracle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'voice of wisdom' is the definition.
'oracle' can be an answer for 'wisdom' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'voice of' bit.

'nothing clear perhaps?' is the wordplay.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'perhaps?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'perhaps' mean this).
'clear' with letters rearranged gives 'racle'.
'o'+'racle'='ORACLE'

'making' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oracle that I've seen before include "Augury" , "Infallible indication" , "Diviner of the future" , "Source of prophecies" , "One successfully worked" .)
