²¹ Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

¹⁸ Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

²⁰ And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

¹⁶ Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

⁷ Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

¹² Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

²⁵ For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

²² Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

⁴¹ Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

¹⁶ The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.

¹² For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
