Job 12:16-20
With him are strength and sound wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are his.He leads counselors away stripped, and judges he makes fools.He looses the bonds of kings and binds a waistcloth on their hips.He leads priests away stripped and overthrows the mighty.He deprives of speech those who are trusted and takes away the discernment of the elders.

Isaiah 19:11-25
The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish; the wisest counselors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel. How can you say to Pharaoh,“ I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings”?Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you that they might know what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt.The princes of Zoan have become fools, and the princes of Memphis are deluded; those who are the cornerstones of her tribes have made Egypt stagger.The Lord has mingled within her a spirit of confusion, and they will make Egypt stagger in all its deeds, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.And there will be nothing for Egypt that head or tail, palm branch or reed, may do.In that day the Egyptians will be like women, and tremble with fear before the hand that the Lord of hosts shakes over them.And the land of Judah will become a terror to the Egyptians. Everyone to whom it is mentioned will fear because of the purpose that the Lord of hosts has purposed against them.In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord of hosts. One of these will be called the City of Destruction.In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border.It will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to the Lord because of oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and deliver them.And the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day and worship with sacrifice and offering, and they will make vows to the Lord and perform them.And the Lord will strike Egypt, striking and healing, and they will return to the Lord, and he will listen to their pleas for mercy and heal them.In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth,whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying,“ Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”

1 Corinthians 3 18-1 Corinthians 3 20
Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written,“ He catches the wise in their craftiness,”and again,“ The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”

Psalms 55:14-15
We used to take sweet counsel together; within God’s house we walked in the throng.Let death steal over them; let them go down to Sheol alive; for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart.
