The Lord knows people’s thoughts; he knows they are worthless!
But for your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.
“I can see what they are doing, and I know what they are thinking. So I will gather all nations and peoples together, and they will see my glory.
As the Scriptures say, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.”
Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe.
This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God’s weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.
And again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise; he knows they are worthless.”
