and shrewd in their own sight!

Isaiah 28:14

A Cornerstone in Zion

14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you ^bscoffers,
who rule this people in Jerusalem!

Isaiah 29:14-19

14 therefore, behold, ^cI will again
do wonderful things with this people,
with wonder upon wonder;
and ^dthe wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”
15 Ah, ^eyou who hide deep from the Lord your counsel,
whose deeds are ^fin the dark,
and who say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?”
16 ^gYou turn things upside down!
Shall the potter be regarded as the clay,
that the thing made should say of its maker,
“He did not make me”;
or the thing formed say of him who formed it,
“He has no understanding”?
17 Is it not yet a very little while
^huntil Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest?
18 In that day ⁱthe deaf shall hear
^jthe words of a book,
and out of their gloom and darkness
^kthe eyes of the blind shall see.
19 ^lThe meek shall obtain fresh joy in the Lord,
and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 65:5

5 who say, “Keep to yourself,
do not come near me, for I am too holy for you.”

1 Corinthians 1:20-21

20 ^qWhere is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? ^rHas not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach ^{▼▼Or the folly of preaching} to save those who believe.

1 Corinthians 3:18-20

18 ^tLet no one deceive himself. ^uIf anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For ^vthe wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, ^w“He catches the wise in their craftiness,” 20 and again, ^x“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”
