“For it is written, ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.’”
God, the destroyer of wisdom--this does not seem right. God is an all wise God, and His word inseparably links wisdom with a healthy relationship with God. We are told to get wisdom because it is valuable and precious. So why would God destroy wisdom? The wisdom that He destroys is a fake wisdom. The “wisdom of the wise” is flawed. The false wisdom of the world has rejected God and thus is not wisdom at all. It is foolishness. And foolishness works against true wisdom. God will thwart the lofty but futile efforts of man to elevate himself above God in an attempt to prove himself to be wise. These foolish actions need to be combated, and God will do this.
