For the wisdom of this age is foolishness with God. As it is written,“ He catches the wise in their craftiness.”

因这世界的智慧，在神看是愚拙。如经上记着说：“主叫有智慧的，中了自己的诡计”；

因为这世界的智慧在上帝看来是愚拙的。如经上记着：“主使有智慧的人中了自己的诡计；”

因为这世界的智慧在神看来是愚拙的。如经上记着：“主使有智慧的人中了自己的诡计；”

因为这世上的智慧在上帝的眼中都是愚昧的，正如圣经上说：“上帝使智者中了自己的诡计。”

因为这世界的智慧，在神看来是愚笨的，如经上所记：“他使有智慧的人中了自己的诡计。”

因为在神看来，这世界的智慧就是愚拙；原来经上记着：“神使智慧人落入自己的诡计中”；

因這世界的智慧，在神看是愚拙。如經上記着說：「主叫有智慧的，中了自己的詭計」；

因為這世界的智慧在上帝看來是愚拙的。如經上記着：「主使有智慧的人中了自己的詭計；」

因為這世界的智慧在神看來是愚拙的。如經上記着：「主使有智慧的人中了自己的詭計；」

因為這世上的智慧在上帝的眼中都是愚昧的，正如聖經上說：「上帝使智者中了自己的詭計。」

因為這世界的智慧，在神看來是愚笨的，如經上所記：“他使有智慧的人中了自己的詭計。”

因為這世界的智慧、在上帝看就是愚拙。如經上記着說：『上帝用智慧人自己的狡猾、去抓住他們』；

因為在神看來，這世界的智慧就是愚拙；原來經上記著：「神使智慧人落入自己的詭計中」；

蓋斯世之智、於上帝為愚、記有之、主令智者自中其詭計、

蓋此世之智、上帝以為不智、經云、主令智者自中其詭計、

蓋此世之智、在天主前為愚、如經載云、主令智者自中其詭計、

蓋世之所謂智巧、自天主視之、愚拙莫甚焉。經不云乎：『天主令智者自墮其巧計之中。』

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written:“ He catches the wise in their craftiness”;

The wisdom of this world is foolish in God’s eyes. It is written,“ God catches wise people in their own evil plans.”( Job 5:13)

For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written,“ He catches the wise in their craftiness,”

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say,“ He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness.”

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since it is written, He catches the wise in their craftiness;

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God. For it is written:“ He is the one who catches the wise by their craftiness”;

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written,“ He catches the wise in their own craftiness”;

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since it is written: He catches the wise in their craftiness;

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written,“ He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

He catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning is brought to a quick end.

For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts were darkened.Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I escape.

who frustrates the omens of the empty talkers and humiliates the omen readers, who overturns the counsel of the wise men and makes their advice seem foolish,

For it is written,“ I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will thwart the cleverness of the intelligent.”Where is the wise man? Where is the expert in the Mosaic law? Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made the wisdom of the world foolish?

Now we do speak wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are perishing.

See the one who is pregnant with wickedness, who conceives destructive plans, and gives birth to harmful lies–he digs a pit and then falls into the hole he has made.

Therefore I will again do an amazing thing for these people– an absolutely extraordinary deed. Wise men will have nothing to say, the sages will have no explanations.”Those who try to hide their plans from the LORD are as good as dead, who do their work in secret and boast,“ Who sees us? Who knows what we’re doing?”Your thinking is perverse! Should the potter be regarded as clay? Should the thing made say about its maker,“ He didn’t make me”? Or should the pottery say about the potter,“ He doesn’t understand”?

The nations fell into the pit they had made; their feet were caught in the net they had hidden.The LORD revealed himself; he accomplished justice; the wicked were ensnared by their own actions.( Higgaion. Selah)

Now I know that the LORD is greater than all the gods, for in the thing in which they dealt proudly against them he has destroyed them.”

The officials of Zoan are nothing but fools; Pharaoh’s wise advisers give stupid advice. How dare you say to Pharaoh,“ I am one of the sages, one well-versed in the writings of the ancient kings?”But where, oh where, are your wise men? Let them tell you, let them find out what the LORD who commands armies has planned for Egypt.The officials of Zoan are fools, the officials of Memphis are misled; the rulers of her tribes lead Egypt astray.The LORD has made them undiscerning; they lead Egypt astray in all she does, so that she is like a drunk sliding around in his own vomit.

Come, let’s deal wisely with them. Otherwise they will continue to multiply, and if a war breaks out, they will ally themselves with our enemies and fight against us and leave the country.”

In those days Ahithophel’s advice was considered as valuable as a prophetic revelation. Both David and Absalom highly regarded the advice of Ahithophel.

Now David had been told,“ Ahithophel has sided with the conspirators who are with Absalom. So David prayed,“ Make the advice of Ahithophel foolish, O LORD!”

So they hanged Haman on the very gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. The king’s rage then abated.

Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said,“ The advice of Hushai the Arkite sounds better than the advice of Ahithophel.” Now the LORD had decided to frustrate the sound advice of Ahithophel, so that the LORD could bring disaster on Absalom.

When Ahithophel realized that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and returned to his house in his hometown. After setting his household in order, he hanged himself. So he died and was buried in the grave of his father.
