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

He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified[ him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise[ men] backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.Where[ is] the wise? where[ is] the scribe? where[ is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch[ which] he made.

Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people,[ even] a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise[ men] shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent[ men] shall be hid.Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

The heathen are sunk down in the pit[ that] they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.The LORD is known[ by] the judgment[ which] he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

Now I know that the LORD[ is] greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly[ he was] above them.

Surely the princes of Zoan[ are] fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I[ am] the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?Where[ are] they? where[ are] thy wise[ men]? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt,[ even they that are] the stay of the tribes thereof.The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken[ man] staggereth in his vomit.

Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and[ so] get them up out of the land.

And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days,[ was] as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so[ was] all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.

And[ one] told David, saying, Ahithophel[ is] among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.

And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite[ is] better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.

And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled[ his] ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
