For it is written, G1125 I will destroy G622 the wisdom G4678 of the wise, G4680 and will bring G114 to nothing G114 the understanding G4907 of the prudent. G4908

Where G4226 is the wise? G4680 where G4226 is the scribe? G1122 where G4226 is the disputer G4804 of this G5127 world? G165 has not God G2316 made G3471 foolish G3471 the wisdom G4678 of this G5127 world? G2889

However, we speak G2980 wisdom G4678 among G1722 them that are perfect: G5046 yet G1161 not the wisdom G4678 of this G5127 world, G165 nor G3761 of the princes G758 of this G5127 world, G165 that come G2673 to nothing: G2673

Surely H389 the princes H8269 of Zoan H6814 are fools, H191 the counsel H6098 of the wise H2450 counsellors H3289 of Pharaoh H6547 is become H1197 brutish: H1197 how H349 say H559 you to Pharaoh, H6547 I am the son H1121 of the wise, H2450 the son H1121 of ancient H6924 kings? H4428

The princes H8269 of Zoan H6814 are become H2973 fools, H2973 the princes H8269 of Noph H5297 are deceived; H5377 they have also seduced H8582 Egypt, H4714 even they that are the stay H6438 of the tribes H7626 thereof.

Therefore, H3651 behold, H2005 I will proceed H3254 to do a marvelous H6381 work H6381 among this H2088 people, H5971 even a marvelous H6381 work H6381 and a wonder: H6382 for the wisdom H2451 of their wise H2450 men shall perish, H6 and the understanding H998 of their prudent H995 men shall be hid. H5641

Surely H518 your turning H2017 of things upside down shall be esteemed H2803 as the potter's H3335 clay: H2563 for shall the work H4639 say H559 of him that made H6213 it, He made H6213 me not? or shall the thing framed H3336 say H559 of him that framed H3335 it, He had no H3808 understanding? H995

That frustrates H6565 the tokens H226 of the liars, H907 and makes diviners H7080 mad; H1984 that turns H7725 wise H2450 men backward, H268 and makes their knowledge H1847 foolish; H5528

Because G1360 that, when they knew G1097 God, G2316 they glorified G1392 him not as God, G2316 neither G2228 were thankful; G2168 but became G3154 vain G3154 in their imaginations, G1261 and their foolish G801 heart G2588 was darkened. G4654

Professing G5335 themselves to be wise, G4680 they became G3471 fools, G3471

He takes H3920 the wise H2450 in their own craftiness: H6193 and the counsel H6098 of the fraudulent H6617 is carried H4116 headlong.

Come H3051 on, let us deal wisely H2449 with them; lest H6435 they multiply, H7235 and it come H1961 to pass, that, when H3588 there falls H7122 out any war, H4421 they join H3254 also H1571 to our enemies, H8130 and fight H3898 against us, and so get H5927 them up out of the land. H776

Now H6258 I know H3045 that the LORD H3068 is greater H1419 than all H3605 gods: H430 for in the thing H1697 wherein H834 they dealt proudly H2102 he was above H5921 them.

And one told H5046 David, H1732 saying, H559 Ahithophel H302 is among the conspirators H7194 with Absalom. H53 And David H1732 said, H559 O LORD, H3068 I pray H4994 you, turn the counsel H6098 of Ahithophel H302 into foolishness. H5528

And the counsel H6098 of Ahithophel, H302 which H834 he counceled H3289 in those H1992 days, H3117 was as if a man H376 had inquired H7592 at the oracle H1697 of God: H430 so H3651 was all H3605 the counsel H6098 of Ahithophel H302 both H1571 with David H1732 and with Absalom. H53

And Absalom H53 and all H3605 the men H376 of Israel H3478 said, H559 The counsel H6098 of Hushai H2365 the Archite H757 is better H2896 than the counsel H6098 of Ahithophel. H302 For the LORD H3068 had appointed H6680 to defeat H6565 the good H2896 counsel H6098 of Ahithophel, H302 to the intent H5668 that the LORD H3068 might bring H935 evil H7451 on Absalom. H53

And when Ahithophel H302 saw H7200 that his counsel H6098 was not followed, H6213 he saddled H2280 his ass, H2543 and arose, H6965 and got H3212 him home H1004 to his house, H1004 to his city, H5892 and put his household H1004 in order, H6680 and hanged H2614 himself, and died, H4191 and was buried H6912 in the sepulcher H6913 of his father. H1

So they hanged H8518 Haman H2001 on H5921 the gallows H6086 that he had prepared H3559 for Mordecai. H4782 Then was the king's H4428 wrath H2534 pacified. H7918

Behold, H2009 he travails H2254 with iniquity, H205 and has conceived H2029 mischief, H5999 and brought H3205 forth H3205 falsehood. H8267

He made H3738 a pit, H953 and dig H2658 it, and is fallen H5307 into the ditch H7845 which he made. H6466

The heathen H1471 are sunk H2883 down in the pit H7845 that they made: H6213 in the net H7568 which H2098 they hid H2934 is their own foot H7272 taken. H3920

The LORD H3068 is known H3045 by the judgment H4941 which he executes: H6213 the wicked H7563 is snared H5367 in the work H6467 of his own hands. H3709 Higgaion. H1902 Selah. H5542

Let the wicked H7563 fall H5307 into their own nets, H4365 whilst H5704 that I with H3162 escape. H5674
