He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they `are' vanity.
Surely, for Thy sake we have been slain all the day, Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.
And I -- their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My honour.
for it hath been written, `I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;'
for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.
because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;
and again, `The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.'
