1 Corinthians 3:20
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

יְֽהוָה יֹדֵעַ מַחְשְׁבוֹת אָדָם כִּי-הֵמָּה הָֽבֶל׃
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
βλέπετε μή τις ὑμᾶς ἔσται ὁ συλαγωγῶν διὰ τῆς φιλοσοφίας καὶ κενῆς ἀπάτης κατὰ τὴν παράδοσιν τῶν ἀνθρώπων κατὰ τὰ στοιχεῖα τοῦ κόσμου καὶ οὐ κατὰ Χριστόν·
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
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.
כִּי-הוּא יָדַע מְתֵי-שָׁוְא וַיַּרְא-אָוֶן וְלֹא יִתְבּוֹנָֽן׃
For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
לָמָּה רָגְשׁוּ גוֹיִם וּלְאֻמִּים יֶהְגּוּ-רִֽיק׃
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
