Bible Text:
Matthew 11:25 KJV
At that time Jesus answered and
said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou
hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed
them unto babes.
Isaiah 28:9,10 KJV
9 Whom shall He teach knowledge? and
whom shall He make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from
the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept,
precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little,
and there a little:
Worldly Wisdom:
Job 5:12-14 NKJV
12 He
frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot
carry out their plans.
13 He catches
the wise in their own craftiness, And the counsel of the cunning
comes quickly upon them.
14 They meet
with darkness in the daytime, And grope at noontime as in the night.
Isaiah
29:14 NLT
"... I
will once again astound these hypocrites with amazing wonders. The
wisdom of the wise will pass away, and the intelligence of the
intelligent will disappear.”
Isaiah 40:21-23
NKJV
21 Have you not
known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the
beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is He who
sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like
grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And
spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
23 He brings
the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth useless.
Isaiah 41:11
NKJV
Behold, all
those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced;
They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish.
Isaiah 59:8 KJV
The way of
peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they
have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know
peace.
Jeremiah 4:22
NKJV
“For My
people are foolish, They have not known Me. They are silly children,
And they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, But to do
good they have no knowledge.”
Micah 4:12 NLT
But they do not
know The Lord’s thoughts or understand His plan. These nations
don’t know that He is gathering them together to be beaten and
trample like sheaves of grain on a threshing floor.
Romans 1:21,22
KJV
21 Because
that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were
thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish
heart was darkened.
22 Professing
themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 10:3 KJV
For they being
ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their
own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the
righteousness of God.
I Corinthians
1:19-21 KJV
19 For it is
written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to
nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the
wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath
not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after
that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it
pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that
believe.
I Corinthians
3:18-21 NKJV
18 Let no one
deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age,
let him become a fool that he may become wise.
19 For the
wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He
catches the wise in their own craftiness”;
20 and again,
“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”
21 Therefore
let no one boast in men. For all things are yours..."
I Corinthians
8:1,2 NKJV
1...We know
that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
2 And if anyone
thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to
know.
Ephesians
4:18,19 KJV
18 Their minds
are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because
they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against Him.
19 They have no
sense of shame. They live for lustful pleasure and eagerly practice
every kind of impurity.
Colossians 2:8
KJV
Beware lest any
man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition
of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
James 3:13-18
NKJV
13 Who is wise
and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his
works are done in the meekness of wisdom.
14 But if you
have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and
lie against The Truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above,
but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
16 For where
envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are
there.
17 But the
wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle,
willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality
and without hypocrisy.
18 Now the
fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all
My pleasure:
Daniel 2:20 KJV
Daniel answered
and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom
and might are His:
Romans 11:33-36
KJV
33 O the depth
of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how
unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!
34 For who hath
known the mind of The Lord? or who hath been His counselor?
35 Or who hath
first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of Him,
and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for
ever. Amen.
I Corinthians
1:25 KJV
"... the
foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is
stronger than men.
As a child of God, our lives are to be as innocent as babes, and found
in meekness.

therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,
kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering;

of God,...follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love,

man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good
conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

The Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with
meekness and fear:
