Judgment on Edom
7 (A)Against Edom.

Has their wisdom (D)vanished?

A Message About Edom(A)(B)
7 Concerning Edom:(C)
This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Is there no longer wisdom in Teman?(D)
Has counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom decayed?

1 Corinthians 1:19-24
New King James Version
19 For it is written:
(A)“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
20 (B)Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the [a]disputer of this age? (C)Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the (D)wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For (E)Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, (F)to the Jews a [b]stumbling block and to the [c]Greeks (G)foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ (H)the power of God and (I)the wisdom of God.

30 The man answered and said to them, (D)“Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes! 31 Now we know that (E)God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him. 32 Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind. 33 (F)If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing.”
34 They answered and said to him, (G)“You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?” And they [a]cast him out.
