Tree of Life Version
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks he is wise in this age, let him become a fool so he may become wise. [a] 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the sight of God. For it is written, “He catches the clever in their craftiness.” [b] 20 And again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are useless.”
