'Wise' in the Bible

Where then are your wise men?Please let them tell you,And let them understand what the Lord of hostsHas purposed against Egypt [if they can].
Therefore, listen carefully, I will again do marvelous and amazing things with this people, wonderful and astonishing things;And the wisdom of their wise men will perish,And the understanding of their discerning men will be hidden.”
Yet He is also wise and will bring disaster,And does not retract His words,But will arise against the house of evildoersAnd against the helpers of those who do evil.
Frustrating the signs and confounding the omens of boasters (false prophets),Making fools out of fortune-tellers,Counteracting the wiseAnd making their knowledge ridiculous,
