1 Corinthians 3:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ Do not fool yourselves. If you think you are wise in this world, you should become a fool so that you can become truly wise, ¹⁹ because the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. It is written in the Scriptures, “He catches those who are wise in their own clever traps.”^{[a] 20} It is also written in the Scriptures, “The Lord knows what wise people think. He knows their thoughts are just a puff of wind.”^[b]
