For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: 'He catches the wise in their craftiness' — the inversion is total: worldly 'wisdom' is 'foolishness' (mōria) from God's perspective. The quotation from Job 5:13 emphasizes God's exposure of the wise's 'craftiness' (panourgia, cunning). God does not debate sophists; he catches them in the nets of their own logic.
