Thematic Bible
Wisdom » Those that are wise according to the world
The Almighty-we cannot reach Him- He is exalted in power! In His justice and righteousness, He will not oppress. Therefore, men fear Him. He does not look favorably on any who are wise in heart.
For though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became nonsense, and their senseless minds were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools
This is what the Lord, your Redeemer who formed you from the womb, says: I am the Lord, who made everything; who stretched out the heavens by Myself; who alone spread out the earth; who destroys the omens of the false prophets and makes fools of diviners; who confounds the wise and makes their knowledge foolishness;
No one should deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age, he must become foolish so that he can become wise.
