1 Corinthians 1:19-21 for it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ for it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." ²⁰ where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputant of this age? has not God prov'd the wisdom of this world to be downright folly. ²¹ for whereas the world, with all their learning, did not distinguish the characters of his divine wisdom, in his works, it pleased God to save those who believe, by preaching, which they counted folly.
