1 Corinthians 3:19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

לֹכֵד חֲכָמִים בְּעָרְמָם וַֽעֲצַת נִפְתָּלִים נִמְהָֽרָה׃
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
יִפְּלוּ בְמַכְמֹרָיו רְשָׁעִים יַחַד אָנֹכִי עַֽד-אֶעֱבֽוֹר׃
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
γέγραπται γάρ Ἀπολῶ τὴν σοφίαν τῶν σοφῶν καὶ τὴν σύνεσιν τῶν συνετῶν ἀθετήσω
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
διότι γνόντες τὸν θεὸν οὐχ ὡς θεὸν ἐδόξασαν ἢ εὐχαρίστησαν ἀλλ' ἐματαιώθησαν ἐν τοῖς διαλογισμοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐσκοτίσθη ἡ ἀσύνετος αὐτῶν καρδία
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
מֵפֵר אֹתוֹת בַּדִּים וְקֹסְמִים יְהוֹלֵל מֵשִׁיב חֲכָמִים אָחוֹר וְדַעְתָּם יְסַכֵּֽל׃
That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
טָבְעוּ גוֹיִם בְּשַׁחַת עָשׂוּ בְּרֶֽשֶׁת-זוּ טָמָנוּ נִלְכְּדָה רַגְלָֽם׃
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
Σοφίαν δὲ λαλοῦμεν ἐν τοῖς τελείοις σοφίαν δὲ οὐ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου οὐδὲ τῶν ἀρχόντων τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου τῶν καταργουμένων·
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
הִנֵּה יְחַבֶּל-אָוֶן וְהָרָה עָמָל וְיָלַד שָֽׁקֶר׃
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
לָכֵן הִנְנִי יוֹסִף לְהַפְלִיא אֶת-הָֽעָם-הַזֶּה הַפְלֵא וָפֶלֶא וְאָֽבְדָה חָכְמַת חֲכָמָיו וּבִינַת נְבֹנָיו תִּסְתַּתָּֽר׃
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
וַֽעֲצַת אֲחִיתֹפֶל אֲשֶׁר יָעַץ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר יִשְׁאַל-אִישׁ בִּדְבַר הָֽאֱלֹהִים כֵּן כָּל-עֲצַת אֲחִיתֹפֶל גַּם-לְדָוִד גַּם לְאַבְשָׁלֹֽם׃
And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
אַךְ-אֱוִלִים שָׂרֵי צֹעַן חַכְמֵי יֹעֲצֵי פַרְעֹה עֵצָה נִבְעָרָה אֵיךְ תֹּאמְרוּ אֶל-פַּרְעֹה בֶּן-חֲכָמִים אֲנִי בֶּן-מַלְכֵי-קֶֽדֶם׃
Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellers of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
עַתָּה יָדַעְתִּי כִּֽי-גָדוֹל יְהוָה מִכָּל-הָֽאֱלֹהִים כִּי בַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר זָדוּ עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
וְדָוִד הִגִּיד לֵאמֹר אֲחִיתֹפֶל בַּקֹּֽשְׁרִים עִם-אַבְשָׁלוֹם וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד סַכֶּל-נָא אֶת-עֲצַת אֲחִיתֹפֶל יְהוָֽה׃
And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְשָׁלוֹם וְכָל-אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל טוֹבָה עֲצַת חוּשַׁי הָֽאַרְכִּי מֵֽעֲצַת אֲחִיתֹפֶל וַֽיהוָה צִוָּה לְהָפֵר אֶת-עֲצַת אֲחִיתֹפֶל הַטּוֹבָה לְבַֽעֲבוּר הָבִיא יְהוָה אֶל-אַבְשָׁלוֹם אֶת-הָֽרָעָֽה׃
And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.
וַֽאֲחִיתֹפֶל רָאָה כִּי לֹא נֶֽעֶשְׂתָה עֲצָתוֹ וַיַּֽחֲבֹשׁ אֶֽת-הַחֲמוֹר וַיָּקָם וַיֵּלֶךְ אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ אֶל-עִירוֹ וַיְצַו אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וַיֵּֽחָנַק וַיָּמָת וַיִּקָּבֵר בְּקֶבֶר אָבִֽיו׃
And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
הָבָה נִֽתְחַכְּמָה לוֹ פֶּן-יִרְבֶּה וְהָיָה כִּֽי-תִקְרֶאנָה מִלְחָמָה וְנוֹסַף גַּם-הוּא עַל-שֹׂנְאֵינוּ וְנִלְחַם-בָּנוּ וְעָלָה מִן-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
וַיִּתְלוּ אֶת-הָמָן עַל-הָעֵץ אֲשֶׁר-הֵכִין לְמָרְדֳּכָי וַֽחֲמַת הַמֶּלֶךְ שָׁכָֽכָה׃
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
