Chastisement » The lord chastening
Keep in mind that the Lord your God has been disciplining you just as a man disciplines his son.
not in Your anger,
or You will reduce me to nothing.
The One who instructs nations, the One who teaches man knowledge- does He not discipline? The Lord knows man's thoughts; they are meaningless.
but did not give me over to death.
Endure it as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline? But if you are without discipline-which all receive-then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Furthermore, we had natural fathers discipline us, and we respected them. Shouldn't we submit even more to the Father of spirits and live? read more.
For they disciplined us for a short time based on what seemed good to them, but He does it for our benefit, so that we can share His holiness.

How long will you harbor
malicious thoughts within you?
and a mocker is detestable to people.
Be careful that there isn’t this wicked thought in your heart, ‘The seventh year, the year of canceling debts, is near,’ and you are stingy toward your poor brother and give him nothing. He will cry out to the Lord against you, and you will be guilty.
“We have perfected a secret plan.”
The inner man and the heart are mysterious.
they are meaningless.
but pleasant words are pure.
“Eat and drink,” he says to you,
but his heart is not with you.
“Knowing their works and their thoughts, I have come to gather all nations and languages; they will come and see My glory.
But perceiving their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why are you thinking evil things in your hearts?

Wisdom » The wisdom of the world
Who is wise and understanding among you? He should show his works by good conduct with wisdom's gentleness. But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't brag and lie in defiance of the truth. Such wisdom does not come down from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. read more.

The Lord said: Because these people approach Me with their mouths to honor Me with lip-service- yet their hearts are far from Me, and their worship [consists of] man-made rules learned [by rote]- therefore I will again confound these people with wonder after wonder. The wisdom of their wise men will vanish, and the understanding of the perceptive will be hidden.

For to those who are perishing the message of the cross is foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is God's power. For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the understanding of the experts. Where is the philosopher? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made the world's wisdom foolish?
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. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since it is written: He catches the wise in their craftiness - and again, The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are futile. read more.
So no one should boast in men, for all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come-all are yours, and you belong to Christ, and Christ to God.
