We know that God has spoken to Moses. But this man— we don’t know where he’s from.”“ This is an amazing thing!” the man told them.“ You don’t know where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes.We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing and does his will, he listens to him.Throughout history no one has ever heard of someone opening the eyes of a person born blind.If this man were not from God, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.”“ You were born entirely in sin,” they replied,“ and are you trying to teach us?” Then they threw him out.

1 Corinthians 1 19-1 Corinthians 1 24
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the intelligence of the intelligent.Where is the one who is wise? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made the world’s wisdom foolish?For since, in God’s wisdom, the world did not know God through wisdom, God was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of what is preached.For the Jews ask for signs and the Greeks seek wisdom,but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles.Yet to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God,

Jeremiah 8:7-9
Even storks in the sky know their seasons. Turtledoves, swallows, and cranes are aware of their migration, but my people do not know the requirements of the LORD.“ How can you claim,‘ We are wise; the law of the LORD is with us’? In fact, the lying pen of scribes has produced falsehood.The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and snared. They have rejected the word of the LORD, so what wisdom do they really have?
