- for the wisdom:
- "For¹ the LORDª hath poured outª° upon¹ you the spiritª of deep sleep,ª and hath closedª°¹ your eyes:ª¹ the prophetsª and your rulers,ª the seersª hath he covered.ª°" {Isa 29:10} + "And he said,ª° Go,²°¹ and tellª° this¹ people,ª Hear²° ye indeed,ª° but understandª° not;¹ and see²° ye indeed,ª° but perceiveª° not.¹ ... Make the heartª of this¹ peopleª fat,²°¹ and make their earsª heavy,ª° and shutª° their eyes;ª lest¹ they seeª° with their eyes,ª and hearª° with their ears,ª and understandª° with their heart,ª and convert,ª° and be healed.ª°" {Isa 6:9-10} + "And the spiritª of Egyptª shall failª° in the midstª thereof; and I will destroyª° the counselª thereof: and they shall seekª° to¹ the idols,ª and to¹ the charmers,ª and to¹ them that have familiar spirits,ª and to¹ the wizards.ª" {Isa 19:3} + "Surely¹ the princesª of Zoanª [are] fools,ª the counselª of the wiseª counsellorsª° of Pharaohª is become brutish:ª° how¹ sayª° ye unto¹ Pharaoh,ª I¹ [am] the sonª of the wise,ª the sonª of ancientª kings?ª ... The LORDª hath mingledª° a perverseª spiritª in the midstª thereof: and they have caused¹ Egyptª to errª° in every¹ workª thereof, as a drunkenª [man] staggerethª° in his vomit.ª" {Isa 19:11-14} + "He takethª° the wiseª in their own craftiness:ª and the counselª of the frowardª° is carried headlong.ª°" {Job 5:13} + "Yea,¹ the storkª in the heavenª knowethª° her appointed times;ª and the turtleª and the craneª and the swallowª observeª°¹ the timeª of their coming;ª° but my peopleª knowª° not¹¹ the judgmentª of the LORD.ª ... The wiseª [men] are ashamed,²°¹ they are dismayedª° and taken:ª° lo,¹ they have rejectedª° the wordª of the LORD;ª and what¹ wisdomª [is] in them?" {Jer 8:7-9} + "Concerning Edom,ª thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts;ª [Is] wisdomª no¹ more¹ in Teman?ª is counselª perishedª° from the prudent?ª°¹ is their wisdomª vanished?ª°" {Jer 49:7} + "Shall I not¹ in that¹ day,ª saithª° the LORD,ª even destroyª° the wiseª [men] out of Edom,ª¹ and understandingª out of the mountª¹ of Esau?ª" {Oba 1:8} + "Forª I tellª° you,ª thatª manyª prophetsª andª kingsª have desiredª° to seeª° those things whichª yeª see,ª° andª have²° notª seenª° [them]; andª to hearª° those things whichª ye hear,ª° andª have²° notª heardª° [them]." {Lke 10:24} + "Andª Jesusª said,ª° Forª judgmentª Iª am comeª° intoª thisª world,ª thatª they which seeª° notª might see;ª° andª that they which seeª° might be madeª° blind.ª ... Jesusª saidª° unto them,ª Ifª ye wereª° blind,ª ye should² haveª°¹ noª sin:ª butª nowª ye say,ª°² We see;ª° thereforeª yourª sinª remaineth.ª°" {Jhn 9:39-41} + "Saying,ª° Goª° untoª thisª people,ª andª say,ª° Hearingª ye shall hear,ª° andª shall²° notª understand;ª° andª seeingª° ye shall see,ª° andª notª perceive:ª° ... Forª the¹ heartª of thisª peopleª is waxed gross,ª° andª their earsª are dull² of hearing,ª°¹ andª their²¹ eyesª have they closed;ª° lestª they should seeª° with [their] eyes,ª andª hearª° with [their] ears,ª andª understandª° with [their] heart,ª andª should be converted,ª° andª I should healª° them.ª" {Act 28:26-27} + "Because² that,¹ when they knewª° God,ª they glorifiedª° [him] notª asª God,ª neitherª were thankful;ª° butª became vainª° inª their²¹ imaginations,ª andª their²¹ foolishª heartª was darkened.ª° ... Professing¹ themselves²° to beª° wise,ª they became fools,ª°" {Rom 1:21-22} + "Andª even asª they did²° notª likeª° to retainª° Godª inª [their] knowledge,ª Godª gave²° them² overª°¹ toª a reprobateª mind,ª to doª° those things which are²° not² convenient;ª°¹" {Rom 1:28} + "Forª it is written,ª° I will destroyª° the¹ wisdomª of the¹ wise,ª andª will bring to nothingª° the¹ understandingª of the¹ prudent.ª ... Butª unto themª which² are called,ª bothª Jewsª andª Greeks,ª Christª the powerª of God,ª andª the wisdomª of God.ª" {1Co 1:19-24} + "Forª the¹ wisdomª of thisª worldª isª° foolishnessª withª God.ª Forª it is written,ª° He takethª° the¹ wiseª inª their own²¹ craftiness.ª" {1Co 3:19}
