What does the Bible say about the wisdom of man?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the wisdom of man is futile compared to the wisdom of God.

The wisdom of man is often seen as foolishness in the eyes of God. In 1 Corinthians 1:18, Paul writes, 'For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.' This highlights the distinction between worldly wisdom and divine wisdom. Paul emphasizes that God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, further illustrating that true understanding comes from the Holy Spirit, not human intellect or tradition. Those who rely on their knowledge or degrees may miss the important truths that God reveals through His Word to those who are humble and willing to learn.
