²⁴ Therefore, people revere him,^(A)
    for does he not have regard for all the wise^(B) in heart?^[a]”

¹⁴ Therefore once more I will astound these people
    with wonder upon wonder;^(A)
the wisdom of the wise^(B) will perish,
    the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.^(C)”

²⁵ who foils^(A) the signs of false prophets
    and makes fools of diviners,^(B)
who overthrows the learning of the wise^(C)
    and turns it into nonsense,^(D)

⁸ “‘How can you say, “We are wise,
    for we have the law^(A) of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
    has handled it falsely?

⁵⁷ I will make her officials^(A) and wise^(B) men drunk,^(C)
    her governors, officers and warriors as well;
they will sleep^(D) forever and not awake,”
    declares the King,^(E) whose name is the Lord Almighty.
