He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.

He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.

Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.

I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.

And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
