Thematic Bible: Confounded


Thematic Bible



So from there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth, and they stopped building the city.

All of them are put to shame, even humiliated;
the makers of idols go in humiliation together.

who destroys the omens of the false prophets
and makes fools of diviners;
who confounds the wise
and makes their knowledge foolishness;

He frustrates the schemes of the crafty
so that they achieve no success.

Their inhabitants have become powerless,
dismayed, and ashamed.
They are plants of the field,
tender grass,
grass on the rooftops,
blasted by the east wind.

Be sure that all who are enraged against you
will be ashamed and disgraced;
those who contend with you
will become as nothing and will perish.

But the Lord is with me like a violent warrior.
Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly shamed,
an everlasting humiliation that will never be forgotten.

He leads counselors away barefoot
and makes judges go mad.

He reduces princes to nothing
and makes judges of the earth irrational.
