What does the Bible say about the wisdom of the wise?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that the wisdom of the wise will ultimately perish, as God will destroy the wisdom of men and uphold His truth.

The Scriptures indicate that God's wisdom is far superior to the wisdom of man. In 1 Corinthians 1:19, Paul quotes Isaiah, saying, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.' This highlights that human wisdom, often grounded in pride and self-reliance, cannot comprehend or attain to the knowledge of God. Instead, true understanding comes from revelation by the Holy Spirit and faith in the preaching of the Gospel, which may seem foolish to the world but is the power of God for salvation to those who believe.
