Isaiah 28:20

English Standard Version

²⁰For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on,
and the covering too narrow to wrap oneself in.

1 Corinthians 1:18-31

English Standard Version

Christ the Wisdom and Power of God

¹⁸For the word of the cross is ^(A)folly to ^(B)those who are perishing, but to us ^(C)who are being saved it is ^(D)the power of God. ¹⁹For it is written,

^(E)“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”

²⁰^(F)Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? ^(G)Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? ²¹For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach^[a] to save those who believe. ²²For ^(H)Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, ²³but we preach Christ ^(I)crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, ²⁴but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ ^(J)the power of God and ^(K)the wisdom of God. ²⁵For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

²⁶For consider your calling, brothers: ^(L)not many of you were wise according to worldly standards,^[b] not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. ²⁷But ^(M)God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; ^(N)God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; ²⁸God chose what is low and despised in the world, even ^(O)things that are not, to ^(P)bring to nothing things that are, ²⁹so ^(Q)that no human being^[c] might boast in the presence of God. ³⁰And because of him^[d] you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us ^(R)wisdom from God, ^(S)righteousness and ^(T)sanctification and ^(U)redemption, ³¹so that, as it is written, ^(V)“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

Israel's Unbelief

³⁰What shall we say, then? ^(A)That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, ^(B)a righteousness that is by faith; ³¹but that Israel ^(C)who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness^[a] ^(D)did not succeed in reaching that law. ³²Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the ^(E)stumbling stone,

Isaiah 66:3-6

English Standard Version

³^(A)“He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man;
    he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog's neck;
he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers ^(B)pig's blood;
    he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol.
^(C)These have chosen their own ways,
    and their soul delights in their abominations;
⁴^(D)I also will choose harsh treatment for them
    and bring ^(E)their fears upon them,
^(F)because when I called, no one answered,
    when I spoke, they did not listen;
^(G)but they did what was evil in my eyes
    and chose that in which I did not delight.”

⁵Hear the word of the Lord,
    you who tremble at his word:
“Your brothers who hate you
    and cast you out for my name's sake
have said, ^(H)‘Let the Lord be glorified,
    that we may see your joy’;
    but it is they who shall be put to shame.

⁶“The sound of an uproar from the city!
A sound from the temple!
The sound of the Lord,
^(I)rendering recompense to his enemies!

⁵They hatch adders' eggs;
    they weave the spider's web;
he who eats their eggs dies,
    and from one that is crushed a viper is hatched.
⁶^(A)Their webs will not serve as clothing;
    men will not cover themselves with what they make.
Their works are works of iniquity,
    and deeds of violence are in their hands.
