And the cleverness of the clever I will set aside.”

Has not God (D)made foolish the wisdom of (E)the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, (F)the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, (G)God was well-pleased, through the (H)foolishness of the [a]message preached, to (I)save those who believe.
