No doubt but ye are the people, And wisdom shall die with you.
I say this to move you to shame. What, cannot there be found among you one wise man who shall be able to decide between his brethren,
We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonor.
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
The rich man is wise in his own conceit; But the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame; And the spirit of my understanding answereth me.
But as for you all, come on now again; And I shall not find a wise man among you.
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: Therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?
But vain man is void of understanding, Yea, man is born as a wild ass’s colt.
And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?
Then Job answered and said,
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!
