Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? |
Where is the wise man (the philosopher)? Where is the scribe (the scholar)? Where is the investigator (the logician, the debater) of this present time and age? Has not God shown up the nonsense and folly of this world’s wisdom? |
Where is a philosopher, skilled in letters, cultivated, learned? Where is a man learned in the sacred scriptures? Where is a learned sophist of this age, fallacious reasoned that he is? Did not God prove foolish the wisdom of this world system? |
|
For consider, what have the philosopher, the writer and the critic of this world to show for all their wisdom? Has not God made the wisdom of this world look foolish? |
So where is your philosopher? Where is your man of letters? Where is your logician of this age? Has not God shown up the nonsense of the world’s wisdom? |
