Psalm 94:11


The Lord knows the thoughts of man,
That they are a mere breath (vain, empty, futile).

1 Corinthians 3:20

and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the [humanly] wise, that they are useless.”

Job 11:11-12


“For He recognizes and knows false and worthless men,
And He sees wickedness, will He not consider it?

Psalm 49:10-13


For he sees that even wise men die;
The fool and the stupid alike perish
And leave their wealth to others.

Romans 1:21-22

For even though they knew God [as the Creator], they did not honor Him as God or give thanks [for His wondrous creation]. On the contrary, they became worthless in their thinking [godless, with pointless reasonings, and silly speculations], and their foolish heart was darkened.

1 Corinthians 1:19

For it is written and forever remains written,I will destroy the wisdom of the wise [the philosophy of the philosophers],
And the cleverness of the clever [who do not know Me] I will nullify.”

1 Corinthians 1:21

For since the world through all its [earthly] wisdom failed to recognize God, God in His wisdom was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached [regarding salvation] to save those who believe [in Christ and welcome Him as Savior].

1 Corinthians 1:25

[This is] because the foolishness of God [is not foolishness at all and] is wiser than men [far beyond human comprehension], and the weakness of God is stronger than men [far beyond the limits of human effort].
