The Wisdom of this World

1 Corinthians 3:18-20 (New Testament)

[18] Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. [19] For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”; [20] and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”

Ezekiel 28:6-10 (Old Testament)

[6] “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘Because you think you are wise,

    as wise as a god,

[7] I am going to bring foreigners against you,

    the most ruthless of nations;

they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom

    and pierce your shining splendor.

[8] They will bring you down to the pit,

    and you will die a violent death

    in the heart of the seas.

[9] Will you then say, “I am a god,”

    in the presence of those who kill you?

You will be but a mortal, not a god,

    in the hands of those who slay you.

[10] You will die the death of the uncircumcised

    at the hands of foreigners.

I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

Proverbs 26:16

[16] A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes

than seven people who answer discreetly.
