KJV ORIGINAL
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Here's the thing — what this world calls 'being smart' looks pretty foolish to God. There's even an old saying about it: God catches the so-called wise people in their own schemes.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
The world's version of wisdom doesn't impress God — he sees right through all our clever tricks.
