Every man is stupid in his knowledge: every metal worker is put to shame by the sculptured image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
For my people are foolish, they have not known me; they are stupid children, and they have no understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion; that blindness in part has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
